  • Henry Ossian Flipper defied the odds and made history. Born into slavery in Thomasville, Georgia, in 1856, he pursued education with an unshakable determination. From humble beginnings in a woodshop to studying at missionary schools and Atlanta University, his ultimate dream was to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. No African American had ever graduated from West Point, but that did not stop him. Writing to Congressman James C. Freeman, he sought an appointment—and he got it. Among five African American cadets who entered, Henry was the only one to graduate. In 1877, he became the first African American to graduate from West Point and the first Black man commissioned in the United States Army.

  • March 21, 1965, marked a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights. Led by Martin Luther King, Jr., 3,200 brave demonstrators set out on a historic 54-mile journey from Selma to Montgomery, demanding justice and the right to vote. Just weeks after the violence of "Bloody Sunday," this march became a powerful symbol of perseverance, growing to 25,000 strong by its final day. Through rain, exhaustion, and resistance, their voices carried a message that still echoes today: equality cannot wait. #SelmaToMontgomery #CivilRights #MLK #VotingRights #HistoryMatters #OnThisDay

American Black Film Festival Honors: Celebrating Black Excellence in Film with Giancarlo Esposito, Keke Palmer, and More!

Atlanta City Council proudly commemorates the historic contributions of the U.S. Army 555th Parachute Infantry, famously known as the "Triple Nickles." During World War II, this courageous airborne unit was pivotal in "Operation Firefly," bravely tackling fires ignited by Japanese bombs on the U.S. West Coast. Their unparalleled dedication not only safeguarded lives and landscapes but also set the stage for a transformative era, paving the way for the desegregation of U.S. Army combat units post-war. This honor acknowledges their valor and the lasting impact of their service on military integration and civil rights. Join in celebrating their legacy and learn more about their fascinating history and contributions.

Atlanta City Council Honors U.S. Army 555th Parachute Infantry for Their Historic Service and Impact on Desegregation!

The Atlanta City Council proudly acknowledged a monumental chapter in history by recognizing the Montford Point Marines, the pioneering African American men who broke barriers in the United States Marine Corps. Established in 1942, the Montford Point Training Camp in Jacksonville, North Carolina, was the historic site where 20,000 African American men enlisted, ultimately leading to the desegregation of the Marine Corps after World War II. Today, we honor not only their bravery and dedication but also celebrate two distinguished members, Mr. James Pack and Ambassador Theodore R. Britton, Jr., for their service and profound impact on our nation's history. #MontfordPointMarines #AtlantaCityCouncil #BreakingBarriers #MilitaryHistory #WWIIHeroes #AfricanAmericanHistory #HonoringHistory #Trailblazers #MilitaryLegacy
