The City of Atlanta is working to document historic LGBTQ+ places and spaces throughout the city.
Through a collaborative effort, the City of Atlanta’s Department of City Planning Historic Preservation Studio and Historic Atlanta is creating a document called the “Historic Context Statement,” a document that can be used to identify and locate places that matter to Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ community.
On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Anthony Knight, the City of Atlanta’s first African American Heritage Coordinator, spoke about the goal of the Historic Context Statement Project and how the city is working to capture the voice of AUC students through an informational session at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library.
