Events › Civil Sights Book Launch with Gene Kansas

Civil Sights by Gene Kansas shares the definitive story of Sweet Auburn - birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. More than a history, it reveals how one Atlanta neighborhood helped change America and positively impact the world, through the extraordinary people and places that came together to bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating this landmark book's launch. Experience a powerful blend of literature, jazz, and community as we honor Sweet Auburn's legacy and champion its preservation. With special guests, live music, and conversation that bridges past and present, this is more than a book launch - it's a celebration of Atlanta's National Treasure.

Books will be sold on site at the Auburn Avenue Research Library. But you can reserve a copy at this link:
