Please check the venue or ticket sales site for the current pricing.
From the venue:
Over four days in September 1906, at least 23 African Americans were killed and hundreds more were injured in the largest outbreak of racial violence in Georgia history. The massacre is largely unknown today, even though it is a defining moment in Atlanta history — and in our nation’s history – regarding racial terror targeting African Americans.
This September, The Center’s Truth and Transformation Initiative seeks to Uncover Atlanta’s Hidden History by hosting several commemorative events remembering the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre. The Center is partnering with community organizations and institutions throughout the city of Atlanta to highlight the history of the massacre and its lasting effects.
