Amongst the murals that dot the city, Atlanta’s civil rights legacy is anchored by King’s huge shadow. But it is also the home of some of America’s leading historical Black colleges, as well as Black museums like the APEX and the Herndon Home, and newer institutions like the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
Donald Byrd, chief operating officer for the NCCHR, said the popular downtown destination has seen about a 5% increase in attendance over the last several weeks. The last few Saturdays saw the highest visitation numbers since it reopened last September.
The center is currently open just four days a week, Thursday through Sunday, but Byrd said it is exploring expanding to “five or six days a week,” with expanded capacity as early as July.

Some patrons, he said, are still reeling from last year’s elections and protests against racial violence and are looking for answers.
“With all of the things happening, people wanted to have a conversation,” said Byrd.
From one of the newest attractions in the city to one of the oldest, the APEX Museum on Auburn Avenue has also seen a boom in attendance since it reopened, although the hours have been cut to 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays.
“Last year was the best year we have ever had in 42 years,” said Dan Moore, the founder and president of the museum. “We are launching a lot of new projects and people are really interested in learning about our history and culture.”

At the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Park, which is part of the National Park Service, the grounds are open, but visitors are still not allowed in some of the city’s most sought-after attractions.
The King Birth Home, Fire House and historic Ebenezer Baptist Church are still off-limits. The King Center, which is on the grounds of the park, is also closed, except for the bookstore.
“We are anxious to get back, but we are being very careful,” to ensure public health safety, said Judy Forte, the park superintendent.
Other national parks around the country, as well as across the state, have opened. But the King District is one of the country’s most unique as it is urban and relies heavily on indoor attractions.

Forte noted that throughout the pandemic, the park still had virtual educational programs, weekly tours and brisk foot traffic through the outdoor exhibits.
She has not pinned down an exact date to reopen indoor facilities. She said staff are assessing when to open based on local and state trends, as well as monitoring Georgia’s vaccination rate.
Some 38% of Georgia residents are fully vaccinated, compared with 47% nationally, according to government estimates.
Houck, who is restarting his tours on Saturday, said he will require passengers to wear masks on the bus.

Houck estimates that he has lost between $250,000 and $300,000 since the coronavirus shut down the family reunions, sporting events and convention business that he desperately relied on.
But he is one of the lucky ones. Last August, Atlanta Movie Tours, one of the most popular tour companies in the city, shut down permanently.
When Houck’s tours resume two Saturdays from now at 11 a.m., the starting point will be familiar: Coretta and Martin Luther King Jr.’s crypt on Auburn Avenue in the Historic District.
From there, the 30-passenger bus will wind its way through Atlanta’s history of Black progress and civil rights.
The home where King was born in 1929 and the later home where he died in 1968. The Atlanta University Center and the offices of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the SNCC Freedom House, as well as other stops.
But Houck said that so much has changed since the last tour on March 4, 2020, that the tour had to be updated.
New statues and civil rights monuments now line Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The stop at South View Cemetery, where King’s parents are buried, will now offer a tribute to Congressman John Lewis, who died last July.
And with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks killings last summer, the tour will focus on the 1906 Atlanta Race Riots along Edgewood Avenue and Decatur Streets.
“A lot has changed since this pandemic shut everything down,” Houck said.

Wisconsin Ave. The vision of businessman Guido Pfister and his son, Charles, this iconic building dating to 1893 is itself a work of art, houses the Pfisters’ vast collection of Victorian pieces and hosts an artist-in-residence program. Just walking into the lobby — soaring ceiling, ornate chandeliers and sculpted lions, Dick and Harry — is an experience. My first visit, I stayed in the original part of the hotel, a grand and gracious section with broad hallways accessible either by elevator or the hotel’s stately staircase. The second time I stayed in the newer tower portion, added in the 1960s. This room was smaller but had a nice view of Lake Michigan a few blocks away. The hotel’s Lobby Lounge is a great place for cocktails and a snack. (It may remind you of the clubby former Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead, which has been replaced by The Whitley). Blu, on the 23rd floor of the hotel’s tower, offers a soaring panorama of the lake and downtown. The Mason Street Grill serves an excellent steak and seafood menu with an impressive wine list.

A chance to see the sumptuous interior, which includes many original furnishings, was reason enough for a return visit. After the Pabsts’ deaths, the home was sold in 1908 and, for nearly 70 years, served as the archbishop’s residence and the center of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee. It faced demolition in the wrecking ball-happy 1970s. Like Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, it was spared the fate of becoming rubble and was instead added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The Fox joined that list a year later. You can take a guided or self-guided tour, a “Blue Ribbon Happy Hour” tour or a Sunday mimosa tour. Even if you opt for the self-guided tour, the effervescent docents will answer any question you may have. One of them said I looked “so familiar.” Maybe we crossed paths last year?

It was acquired by the Milwaukee School of Engineering in 2005 and reconfigured to house the collection of Dr. Eckhart Grohmann and his wife, Ischi Grohmann. Start with the rooftop sculpture garden and work your way down through more than 1,400 paintings, sculptures and works on paper from 1580 to the present day, augmented with some enthralling video presentations. (Have you ever seen a glassblower or highway surveyor at work? It’s mesmerizing). The collection depicts vocations through the ages from alchemy, farming, mining, barbering and constructing the Tower of Babel to the practice of law and medicine to that most noble of professions, delivering the newspaper. Bonus: did you know the Cyclorama (now housed at the Atlanta History Center) was constructed in Milwaukee?
