Transcript
The Sweet Auburn Historic District is a historic AfricanAmerican neighborhood along and surrounding Auburn Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia. Sweet Auburn was one of the earliest centers of African-American enterprise in the country and was dubbed the “richest Negro street in the world.” It was in Sweet Auburn that many African Americans established businesses, congregations, and social organizations. It is also the place where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born, raised, lived, worked and worshiped, and where he is buried. Today, it reflects the history, heritage and achievements of Atlanta’s African Americans. Sweet Auburn is home to historic buildings, local businesses and cultural institutions.
