Mt. Zion Exhibit

Listen here

The Dekalb History Center is showing an exhibit featuring Atlanta’s Mt. Zion community—a neighborhood whose history stretches back to the 1800s, when it was founded by emancipated slaves. Their descendants continue to live and attend church on the land their ancestors owned, farmed, and passed on.

The students of Arbor Montessori School, which neighbors Mt. Zion, collected oral histories and studied primary documents from DeKalb County’s archives in order to put the exhibit together. You can see some of their research at their own website.

WABE’s Myke Johns went to the Old Courthouse for the opening reception and has this report.
