Atlanta's African American community has been an integral part of the city of Atlanta since before the Civil War.

My parents and I very much enjoyed our Civil War tour with Roger. Roger is very thoughtful and well-informed.

Roger braved some very daunting Atlanta traffic, driving safely all the while. He was a pleasure to spend time with. Edward Keating
