Beyond campus, explore the living history of Atlanta

Georgia Tech students live in the birthplace of the civil rights movement and have so much history at their fingertips. Check out this amazing video of GT’s Global Leadership and I-House Living Learning Community students exploring some of Atlanta’s most historic sites via an engaging civil rights bike tour.

On this three-hour tour, students visited Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthplace and burial site, Sweet Auburn, Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, Oakland Cemetery, the Georgia State Capitol, and much more. Students learned about Atlanta’s Antebellum past and the events and emerging leaders that led to Atlanta becoming the heart of the civil rights movement. The tour also highlighted the civil rights work that continues to be done in Atlanta today, advancing the work of UN SDG #10 (Reduced Inequalities).

The tour kept the students active, advancing UN SDG #3 (Good Health and Well-Being). Cycling also helps make Atlanta more safe and sustainable, which allowed the students to support UN SDG #11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
