The Civil Rights Movement in Atlanta: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
Overview
Crafted by a professional actor and local guide, this immersive audio tour unearths the profound legacy of a neighborhood once celebrated as the center of Black wealth and enterprise.
While large bus tours are restricted to main thoroughfares, this journey leads you through the intimate, narrow side streets of Sweet Auburn that hold the true spirit of the Civil Rights Movement.
The stories take you through the hallowed grounds of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the childhood home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the historic APEX Museum.
Using smart GPS technology, the immersive audio triggers automatically as you walk, creating a moving podcast that works entirely offline to preserve your data.
As you pass the vibrant Curb Market and stand before the King Center, the cinematic storytelling transforms these landmarks into a living history.
By the end of this walk, you will feel a deep, insider connection to the heroes who changed the course of American history.
