Black History Month Celebration

On Saturday, February 11th, GMAC members and families visited the Atlanta History Center in honor of Black History Month. During the tour curated by La’Neice Littleton, PhD, we learned that Buckhead was originally home to thousands of African Americans who were displaced to the areas where many of us live in southwest Atlanta. We also toured exhibits dedicated to the significance of the Atlanta University Center, Atlanta’s first black Mayor, Maynard Jackson, whose daughter in law Wendy Eley Jackson is a GMAC Charter Member, and an exhibit with stylish fashions designed by our favorite Second Wind Dreams elder, Ms. Annie Moore! The tour ended with a visit to the Smith Farm where the children were able to pet the chickens and sheep.
