What is the Atlanta Justice Experience?

The Atlanta Justice Experience offers a day of exploration and reflection through key locations in Atlanta’s Civil Rights history. Our journey begins at the Woodruff Library at Emory University, where we explore Georgia’s Indigenous history, focusing on the displacement of the Cherokee, Muscogee Creek, and other Indigenous nations.

From there, we move to Stone Mountain Park, a site of painful racial history and the former gathering place for the Ku Klux Klan, where we’ll reflect on the ongoing impact of such symbols.

Next, we visit the Five Points neighborhood and walk along Auburn Avenue, home to many significant Black leaders and activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. This church served as the heart of his ministry and Civil Rights activism. Along the way, we will discuss the ongoing work of reconciliation in our communities, connecting these sacred sites to present-day efforts for justice and unity.

For those interested in a deeper experience, we offer an optional visit to the Atlanta Center for Civil and Human Rights, where participants can engage with exhibits on both the Civil Rights Movement and global human rights struggles. This addition provides a broader context to the journey, further deepening our commitment to justice and reconciliation.
