Guided Auburn Avenue African-American Heritage Tour

See the streets that sparked a civil rights revolution with a fascinating 4-hour tour of Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn Historic District. Led by an in-the-know local, you’ll find out all about this history-packed African-American neighbourhood, birthplace and home of Martin Luther King Jr.

Stroll down Auburn Avenue with your expert guide and you’ll hear how this part of the city became famous for its firsts. You’ll visit Atlanta's first black public high school and America's first African-American City Park. Then, in Martin Luther King National Park, you’ll see the boyhood home and final resting place of Dr King, following his tragic assassination in 1968.

There’ll also be visits to the APEX and Madame C.J Walker museums, too. The APEX highlights African-American contributions to American culture, while the C.J Walker museum celebrates the life and times of America’s first black, female entrepreneur, philanthropist and political activist.
