Discover the Essence of Georgia- Best Things to Do and Places to Visit in Atlanta

Nestled in the heart of the American South, Georgia offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Whether you find yourself exploring the rich past at the Atlanta History Center, walking in the footsteps of a civil rights icon at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park, or basking in the serenity of Piedmont Park, Georgia beckons with a wealth of experiences. In this article, we'll embark on a journey through some of the best things to do and places to visit in Atlanta.

Atlanta History Center

For those intrigued by the tapestry of Atlanta's history, the Atlanta History Center stands as a beacon of knowledge and exploration. Spanning 33 acres, this expansive complex is a treasure trove of historic homes, lush gardens, and enlightening museums.

The Swan House, an elegant mansion featured in "The Hunger Games," offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Atlanta's elite during the early 20th century. Beyond its grandeur, the Smith Family Farm provides an immersive experience, allowing visitors to step back in time to the antebellum era.

The center's museums cover a spectrum of topics, including the Cyclorama depicting the Battle of Atlanta and the Centennial Olympic Games Museum, commemorating Atlanta's hosting of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The Atlanta History Center ensures that the city's diverse past is not only preserved but also vividly brought to life.

Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park

A pilgrimage to the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park is an essential experience for those seeking to understand the pivotal role Atlanta played in the Civil Rights Movement. This park encompasses significant sites, including Dr. King's childhood home, the Ebenezer Baptist Church where he preached, and the King Center where he and Coretta Scott King rest.

Visitors can stand in the modest rooms of Dr. King's childhood home, gaining insight into the roots of his transformative vision for a just society. The Ebenezer Baptist Church, a spiritual hub for the Civil Rights Movement, echoes with the resonance of Dr. King's powerful messages of equality.

The King Center, a place of reflection and remembrance, invites visitors to contemplate the ongoing pursuit of justice. The eternal flame at Dr. King and Coretta Scott King's tomb symbolizes the enduring flame of their legacy, inspiring future generations to continue the journey toward a more equitable world.

Piedmont Park

Escape the urban bustle and embrace the tranquility of Piedmont Park, a lush 185-acre green space in the heart of Atlanta. This urban oasis offers a myriad of recreational activities, scenic walking trails, and picturesque spots for relaxation.

The Active Oval buzzes with energy as locals engage in various sports and fitness activities. Whether you're jogging along the trails, having a leisurely picnic, or enjoying the beauty of the lake, Piedmont Park provides a serene retreat within the city.

Adjacent to the park lies the Atlanta Botanical Garden, a horticultural haven featuring themed gardens, conservatories, and seasonal exhibits. From vibrant blooms to intricate plant sculptures, the garden adds an extra layer of natural splendor to Piedmont Park's appeal.

Vacation Rentals in Atlanta

As you plan your Georgia adventure, consider elevating your stay with luxury vacation rentals in Atlanta. The city boasts a range of exquisite properties, from spacious apartments to elegant homes, offering a comfortable and indulgent retreat after a day of exploration.

Luxury vacation rentals provide not only a place to stay but an immersive experience that complements the richness of your Atlanta visit. Strategically located, these accommodations offer easy access to the city's attractions, ensuring that your stay is both convenient and luxurious.

Embarking on a journey through the best things to do and places to visit in Atlanta unveils the soul of Georgia – a state deeply rooted in its history, driven by a commitment to justice, and adorned with natural splendor. From the Atlanta History Center's exploration of the city's past to the transformative legacy of Dr. King at the National Historical Park and the serene escape of Piedmont Park, Atlanta invites you to immerse yourself in its multifaceted charm.

Transcript for our HoH friends!:

So this might be the single most unhinged headline I have seen in a minute.

"Dear BLM Activists, We Israelis Also Can't Breathe."

I saw that article this morning, read through it, and discovered that there is so many angles to tackle this. I just want to go through all of them.

For starters, really bold for Israelis to weaponize BLM uh... When Israel was giving birth control to Ethiopian Jewish settlers without their consent for a period of time.

Also, this is the same Israel that was one of the primary exporters of arms to the apartied South African government up until its collapse. Almost going so far as to sell the apartied South African government nuclear weapons. Although, notably, Israel and apartied South Africa had a long history of joint-nuclear weapons development between their two programs. The South Africans offering, often times the resources and capital and the Israelis offering up the technical expertise. That really deserves an entire video that end of itself, though.

But because they invoked BLM, the one that I really want to settle on is the "Deadly Exchange."" For those of you that don't know, um hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the country, especially since 2001, have been actively trained and sometimes have traded tech and tactics with Israeli occupational forces.

There's a lot of examples to this that I can go into, the one that I really want to touch on is that American police officers visited Jerusalem and saw the 400 cameras that were blanketing the Old City in an effort to surveil Palestinians. In following visits to Israel by the Atlanta Police Department, their department created a Video Interrogation Center, collecting and monitoring footage from the city's thousands public and private 24-hour surveillance cameras. The Atlanta Police Department reported that the center is modeled after the command and control center in the Old City of Jerusalem and mimics Israeli methods to proactively monitor crime.

And Atlanta is far from the only city, uh if you're in a major city in the United States, there is a very good likelihood that your local police department has at some point been trained, advised, or you know, traded tech and tactics with Israeli Occupational Forces.

Which makes this headline, just fucking crazy contextually. Like, how are you, as an Israeli, as a settler in a settler-colonial project that is maintaining actively apartied structures, comparing your situation to that of Black Americans facing police brutality? That is fucking insane. Also, the whole "We Can't Breathe Either" line rings really hollow when Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are actively being bombed with white phosphorus. Which, if you didn't know, makes it kinda hard to fucking breathe.

Like, Zionists are fucking desperate, man. I... Wow. Uh, but, yeah. Something to think on. As always, free Palestine and have a great day.

#blm #black lives matter #i stand with palestine 🇵🇸#free palestine 🇵🇸#gaza under attack #free gaza #🍉#long live palestine #🇵🇸#from the river to the sea 🇵🇸

From Atlanta to the Bay

Stop Police Militarization in our Communities

Sat Sep 30 @ 3pm

Kennedy Plaza in San Pablo, California (23rd St & Brookside Dr)

The City of San Pablo plans to build a $43 million police training center and shooting range for cops around the Bay Area. The people of San Pablo and the Bay Area oppose this expansion of police power because of cops long history of harassing, abusing, incarcerating, and killing Black and Brown people.

Show up and march with us against the construction. We need healthy communities not police! Together we can stop Cop Campus!

Check their shoes and look for mud!” shouted one Atlanta police department officer to another. The sun was setting against a tree line growing greener daily due to recent balmy, spring-like weather in Atlanta, but the bucolic setting of a Sunday in the sun at a free music festival abruptly became panic and chaos. Dozens of law enforcement officers, many with automatic weapons, swarmed into a forest of hundreds of acres, seeking to find any of the 200 or so activists who had set fire to a bulldozer, trailer and other infrastructure used for construction on “Cop City”, a $90m, 85-acre police and fire department training center, about an hour earlier. The clash was just the latest dramatic chapter to hit the Cop City project, which has already seen one environmental activist shot dead by police – the first incident of its kind in the US – and drawn national and international attention to the fight to save the Georgia forest where the giant project is planned. The one officer’s frenzied order about dirty footwear seemed as absurd as any part of the Sunday night operation, since Georgia rains had left muddy patches all over the forest, and at least 600 people were lying on the grass, or camped among the trees, or entering the forest to catch an evening’s music under the stars or leaving – thus many had mud on their shoes. But such was the situation on Sunday night, on the second night of the fifth “week of action” by activists over the last year dedicated to protecting the land called South River forest on municipal maps and Weelaunee forest by activists – using the Muscogee (Creek) word for “brown water”. The scene included police running through trees, arresting a legal observer from the National Lawyers Guild, sending a negotiator to agree on terms with five randomly chosen individuals for letting about a hundred music festival audience members safely leave the forest, and detaining journalists for questioning on “what they were there to cover”. The first two days had included free music, herbal workshops and a peaceful march through neighborhoods surrounding the forest south-east of Atlanta. Then, around 5.30 on Sunday evening, about 200 activists, most in balaclavas and camouflage clothing, began lining up to the right of the stage. They marched around three sides of the audience, chanting “Viva Tortuguita” – a reference to Manuel Paez Terán, a 26-year-old activist who was camping several hundred feet away from that spot on 18 January when police shot and killed him in another raid. It was the first time police killed an environmental activist while protesting in US history. Authorities said that Paez Terán fired first. After several hours of chaos on Sunday night, 23 people – including a legal observer with the National Lawyers Guild – had been arrested and charged with “domestic terrorism” under state law, adding to the 18 defendants facing the same unprecedented charges who have been arrested in recent months.

Bell Building is being turned into a new GSU Student Success Center

Darin Givens | March 21, 2024

Exterior work is well underway on an adaptive-reuse project that will convert the Bell Building into a new Student Success Center for GSU! This is exciting to see. You can find information on the successful effort to preserve this structure at the https://savethebell.org site.

This has been a nice victory for historic preservation and for the urbanism of Downtown Atlanta!

In 2015, Georgia State University announced it was going to raze historic Bell Building and replace it with surface parking lots. This struck me and other preservation-minded advocates as a horrible thing that needed to be fought -- especially since the demolition was going to be funded with a donation from the Woodruff Foundation, which also funds preservation work.

We went to work by creating the Save the Bell website & social media channels, by talking to media outlets, reaching out to GSU administration and the Board of Regents, and talking to local city leaders. We were even involved in co-writing a City Council resolution to establish this as a landmark structure, which would have protected it from demolition.

Luckily it worked! And within a year or two, GSU backed away from the demolition plan.

Then in 2021 the good news came: GSU would use a different Woodruff grant to help preserve the Bell and reuse it as a new student success building.

For some background on the history of the Bell, check out this page on the Save the Bell website. It's actually two buildings fused together, both built as a telephone exchange by the Southern Bell company in two stages, in 1907 and 1922.

I'm very grateful to have been part of this effort to prevent the demolition of a structure that was clearly a viable candidate for adaptive reuse. It's a shame that GSU leadership ever wanted to raze it, but I congratulate them on doing the right thing in the end.

And huge kudos to all the local preservation advocates who spoke up in 2015-16 about the need to save the Bell, and to all the local journalists who covered our cause. This will now stand as a reminder of a great group effort, and of the fact that minds can be changed when it comes to the way we treat our urban fabric.

Walter Franklin Anderson

The grandson of formerly enslaved people, Walter Franklin Anderson, classical pianist, organist, composer, jazz musician, community activist, and academician, was born on May 12, 1915, in segregated Zanesville, Ohio. Walter was the sixth of nine children of humble beginnings.

Information regarding his parents is not available. Anderson, a child prodigy, began piano studies at age seven, and by 12, he was playing piano and organ professionally while still in elementary school. He was the only Black student to graduate from William D. Lash High School in Zanesville in 1932. Although a talented musician, Anderson was not a member of any of the school’s music ensembles, including the Glee Club or orchestra. Afterward, he enrolled in the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Ohio, 100 miles north of his hometown, and received a Bachelor of Music in piano and organ in 1936. Anderson continued his studies at Berkshire (Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra) and the Cleveland Institute of Music in Cleveland, Ohio.

From 1939 to 1942, Anderson taught Applied Piano, Voice Pedagogy, and music theory at the Kentucky State College for Negroes (now Kentucky State University) in Frankfort. In 1943, Anderson married Dorothy Eleanor Ross (Cheeks) from Atlanta, Georgia. They parented two children, Sandra Elaine Anderson Mastin and David Ross Anderson, before the marriage ended in a divorce in 1945.

In 1946, Anderson was appointed the head of the music department at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, thus becoming the first African American named to chair a department outside of the nation’s historically black colleges. Two years later, Anderson was a Rosenwald Fellow in composition from 1948 to 1949, where his variations on the Negro Spiritual, “Lord, Lord, Lord,” was performed by the Cleveland Orchestra. Moreover, John Sebastian, the conductor of the Orchestra, commissioned him to write “Concerto for Harmonica and Orchestra” for a performance with the same orchestra. In 1950, Anderson’s composition, “D-Day Prayer Cantata,” for the sixth anniversary of the World War II invasion, was performed on a national CBS telecast. In 1952, Anderson received the equivalent of a doctoral degree as a fellow of the American Guild of Organists. He left his administrative post at Antioch College in 1965.

In 1969, Anderson was named director of music programs at the National Endowment for the Arts, where he created model funding guidelines and pioneered the concept of the challenge grant. In addition, he spearheaded numerous projects and developed ideas at the then-new agency for supporting music creation and performance, specifically for orchestras, operas, jazz, and choral ensembles and conservatories.

Anderson was the recipient of four honorary doctorates in music over his professional career, including one from Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, in 1970. He retired from NEA in 1983. During this period, he became a presidential fellow at the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies and a recipient of the Cleveland Arts Prize for Distinguished Service to the Arts. In 1993, the American Symphony Orchestra League recognized Anderson as one of 50 people whose talents and efforts significantly touched the lives of numerous musicians and orchestras. He was also a member of the Advisory Council to the Institute of the Black World at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Center.

Rosa Ingram and her teen sons were sentenced to death in 1948 after they murdered a white neighbor who attempted to sexually assault their mother. Thanks to civil rights activists the story gained national press. They were later released on parole for being "model prisoners."

—In 1948 Rosa Lee Ingram, a sharecropper and widowed Mother of four boys, was the center of one of the most-explosive capital punishment cases in history. In 1948 in a one-day trial, Ingram and two of her teenage boys were sentenced to die by electric chair, after an altercation with a White landowner in the state of Georgia. On November 4, 1947, the landowner reportedly confronted Ingram and three of her sons over livestock entering his land near the small town of Ellaville. John Stratford was armed with a shotgun and pocket knife when he went to have his word with Ingram. Three of Ingram’s boys overheard their mother yelling then rushed over to her armed with farm instruments.

Later, the 64-year-old man was found dead by way of blows to the head according to the investigation. In several accounts and most notably in author Janus Adams‘ “Sister Days: 365 Inspired Moments in African-American Women’s History,” it was said that Stratford struck Ingram in the head with the butt of his rifle after threatening to shoot her mules that allegedly invaded his cornfield. Other historical accounts state that according to later testimony, though, Stratford threatened Ingram with sexual assault before striking her.

Either way, Ingram and her sons, Wallace, 16, and Sammy, 14, were all convicted by an all-White jury to death; Charles, 17, was at the scene but not charged due to lack of evidence. Although there was an investigation at the scene of the murder, it has been suggested that many who responded to the incident were not officially mandated to do so. As a result, civil rights activists from NAACP branches around the nation leaped in to action to assist Ingram and her boys. Court-appointed White lawyer S. Hawkins Dykes was aided by the the Civil Rights Congress (CRC) and their fund-raising efforts.

Although this move caused some tension with the NAACP, Ingram and her sons were able to get an appeal and their sentences were reduced to life in prison. National Committee to Free the Ingram Family, led by Mary Church Terrell, was instrumental in continuing to fight on behalf of the Ingram family and worked alongside the CRC and NAACP to ensure their freedom.

Working across class and color lines, the case was a rallying cry for women activists and attracted the attention of the media in the North. These organizations worked tirelessly to keep Ingram’s case alive in the minds of the public, even appealing to President Harry Truman to intervene at one point.

Finally in 1959, the Ingrams were granted parole and released. The case placed a highlight on the racist and divisive Jim Crow laws of the South and also galvanized African-American women to participate in civil rights activism. Ms. Ingram lived in Atlanta from the time of her release in prison until her passing in 1980.

Today We Honor Emory Douglas

Born in 1943 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Emory Douglas has been a resident of the Bay Area since 1951. He became the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party in 1967, a role he held until the party disbanded in the early 1980s. During the Party’s active years he served as the art director overseeing the design and layout of the Black Panther, the Party’s weekly newspaper. Douglas was trained as a commercial artist at City College of San Francisco and has been the subject of several solo exhibitions.

His work has also been in numerous exhibitions about the history of the Black Panther Party, including shows at the Arts & Culture Conference of the Black Panther Party in Atlanta, GA in 2008 and “The Black Panther Rank and File” at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco in 2006. Most recently his work was the subject of a solo exhibition at Urbis, Manchester, UK in 2008-2009.

In 2007, artist Sam Durant curated a solo exhibition of Douglas’ work at the MOCA Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, “Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas,” which is the inspiration for the presentation at the New Museum.

The same year, Rizzoli published a book with the same title that included essays and interviews about Douglas’s work and his relationship to the Black Panther Party. Douglas’s work has also been presented at the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, Australia; the African American Art & Cultural Complex, San Francisco; Richmond Art Center, CA; and the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston. via gclass.org | CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #carter #cartermagazine #emorydouglas #blackpanther #blackpantherparty #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke
