This cornerstone exhibition weaves Atlanta’s stories and artifacts together to define the narrative for our past, present, and future.
"Thriving through Faith: Ebenezer Baptist Church"
Now on display, “Thriving through Faith: Ebenezer Baptist Church” is located inside of “Gatheround: Stories of Atlanta” exhibition.

Ann Moore Dress
Drawn to beautiful clothes and unique designs early in life, Moore pursued a career in couture fashion during a time when the profession, always competitive, was especially out of reach for African Americans. Her hard work and determination carried her from Atlanta to Detroit as well as to the most exclusive fashion locales in New York and Paris. Today, 30 of her pieces are housed in Atlanta History Museum’s extensive Fashion and Textile collections.
