Community Partnerships

Atlanta History Center invites you to explore the compelling story of Atlanta’s Oakland City and Bush Mountain communities.

Stories of the everyday individuals and experiences that make up the Latinx community of Atlanta.

Through our Neighborhood Initiative, Atlanta History Center is working with local community partners to bring this history to life in new, innovative ways.

Collaboratively, we develop historically accurate, culturally relevant, and provocative programs, exhibitions, theatrical productions, lectures, author panels, videos, and a host of other experiences.

We’re proud to partner with stellar institutions throughout Atlanta and beyond to offer unique, impactful programming that looks not just to the past, but also to the next generation of history-makers.

Performance based interpretation is one of our primary tools to introduce our visitors to important historical events, narratives, and individuals that have impacted the world in which we live.

For the first time since our founding nearly a century ago, Atlanta History Center served as an early voting location and a polling place on November 3, 2020.

To mark the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trailblazing woman who carved out her place in history, we’re sharing this op-ed created as part of the My Wish For US initiative facilitated by Made By Us.

Black soldiers have served this country since the Revolutionary War and their stories are vital in creating a more complete, more accurate picture of America’s past.

This is a landmark year for American democracy—2020 marks both the centennial of women’s suffrage as well as the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. The right to vote was hard-won by our forebearers.

As a community-based organization with a dedication to connecting people, history, and culture, Atlanta History Center is committed to showing up and serving the city of Atlanta with the resources we have available.

We are losing a generation who brought about sweeping social change as teenagers in the 1960s. Constance “Connie” Curry, Congressman John Lewis, and Rev. C.T. Vivian are just three towering Atlantans who have recently died. Often, as they go, so do their stories.

The deaths of Atlanta’s own Constance “Connie” Curry, Congressman John Lewis, and Reverend C.T. Vivian signal the ongoing passage of responsibility to those of us who are making history today. The legacies of these three key figures of the Civil Rights Movement live on in the works of contemporary Atlantans.
