What you can expect
Buckle up and explore through the home of the modern Civil Rights Movement — where every block has a story and every corner holds a piece of history. Get ready to explore Atlanta’s rich African-American heritage with a mix of inspiration, culture, and a few laughs along the way.
Cruise down Sweet Auburn Avenue, once called “the richest Negro street in the world,” packed with legendary churches, iconic landmarks, and thriving Black-owned businesses that built a community and shaped a movement.
Your local guide will bring history to life as you hear the real stories behind legendary leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois, Madam C.J. Walker, Booker T. Washington, Stokely Carmichael, and Maynard Jackson — plus a few unsung heroes you probably haven’t heard of (yet)
We’ll Journey through Downtown Atlanta, West End, Castleberry Hill, Vine City, the Atlanta University Center (HBCU), then stop by the birth home and final residence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It’s a journey through struggle, triumph, and the powerful heartbeat of a city that never quits.
Atlanta may have faced its share of challenges, but today it stands tall — a vibrant hub of Black culture, education, politics, and business. This isn’t just a tour — it’s a celebration of power, progress, and the undefeated spirit of The A!
