Civil Rights activism in Atlanta would reach an unprecedented peak in the 1960s, but Black civic organizations of the 1930s and 1940s had already made significant strides in voting rights and social justice. South-View’s historical legacy celebrates the lives and accomplishments of cemetery residents who fought against racism and segregation during the Civil Rights Era.

This tour is presented in partnership with Reimagine the Legacy. Reimagine the Legacy: Honoring Congressman John Lewis is an annual memorial initiative led by Central Atlanta Progress that encourages reflection, learning, celebration, and action, all centered around the life and legacy of the late Congressman. Program activities take place across the city between the period of July 17th and July 30th, commemorating the days Lewis passed away and was laid to rest in 2020.
