The City of Atlanta and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights are launching a series of talks looking at the history of the Chattahoochee Brick Company site.
In 2022, the city bought land the old brick factory stood on, following years of community efforts to block industrial development of the property. Atlanta plans to build a memorial and a park at the location, which is situated along the Chattahoochee River.
Now, Atlanta, along with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights is beginning a long-term community engagement project around the future of the property.
Those community efforts begin with a series of talks at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum:
