Being a part of the NCCHR Teaching Fellowship has become a sense of community for me in my educational journey. The staff is very knowledgeable and well connected. The presenters that have graced us have been top-notch. We should be paying for the knowledge we receive, but it is all for free.

    The 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre & The Truth of History

    • on demand

    In September 1906, a mob of 5,000 white people killed 25 African Americans over a four-day killing spree that began in the Five Points neighborhood of downtown Atlanta. Though it is a defining moment in Atlanta’s history, the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre is largely unknown and unrecognized today. A coalition of Atlanta organizations is working to change that. The Center covers what happened in 1906 and how you can help tell the full story of Atlanta’s history as a way to create a more equitable future.
