You know Atlanta as the southern metropolis, the roots of the civil rights movement, home to hip hop and a blossoming entertainment industry…

From June 1–4 Breakout will explore the Cultural Capital of the South with the people and projects empowering the marginalized, championing economic inclusivity, strengthening the political voice of our generation, and creating the world we want to live in.

Ambassador Andrew Young & Dr. Martin Luther King

We’ll learn Atlanta’s story by way of experiences with some of its most influential leaders and organizations, including…

A walk through history with Civil Rights luminary Andrew Young, moderated by his daughter, activist and ACLU Executive Director Andrea Young.

A conversation with the business geniuses behind ATL’s top hip hop legends; Grace Miguel, Shanti Das, and Mali Hunter.

An open dialogue about economic, racial and gender dynamics with the team behind the critically acclaimed Netflix documentary “Audrie & Daisy” and middle school of viral fame, Ron Clark Academy.

We’ll also dive into the cultural allure of ATL with a private hip hop concert, a public soccer tournament with Soccer in the Streets, a massive Shabbat feast, Navy Seal workouts, an inspirational session with The Big Quiet at the historic Fox Theatre, barber shop talks, a cycle through the city with father of the Beltline Ryan Gravel, and intimate private dinners in some of our favorite Atlantan’s homes.

#COOL

We have a whirlwind of an experience in store and we cannot wait to share it with you.

See you in ATL.
