African American History Walking Tour

Did you know that there are slave cemeteries in Buckhead? How about streets named after former slaves? Do you know what happened to the once prosperous African American communities that were located in Buckhead?

Learn about this and more by joining Black Mecca of the South Tours on a fascinating exploration - a walking tour of Macedonia Community (formerly one of the oldest Black communities in Buckhead), including Mt. Olive Cemetery. Students of all ages are welcome (Free for children 12 and under). RSVP at blackmeccatours@yahoo.com
