Sweet Auburn Then to Now

Sweet Auburn Curb Market has put up a small exhibition of articles from the Atlanta Constitution and The AJC. Located in the food court seating area near GrindHouse this is a great concept, but like most of Atlanta it has left out much of the racial history of Sweet Auburn Curb Market. This digital exhibition tells many of the stories that are left behind in this small exhibition at Sweet Auburn Curb Market. Below is a quick timeline of the Curb Market, scrolling further through the pages is more detailed history. Leon Eplan, the Commissioner of Budget and Planning said in 1985, “There are virtually no major decisions that are made in the city of Atlanta that do not have a racial factor built into it.” For all sources click here!
