Thank you for your continued support @Dustin4Atlanta and @FeliciaAMoore This land should be turned into a park and memorial. Who knows, maybe even a national museum. #savechattbrick @tpl_org @SavingPlaces @WorldMonuments

In District 9 lies the site of the former Chattahoochee Brick Company. The factory was founded to help rebuild #Atlanta following the Civil War and subjected hundreds of African Americans to work conditions similar to those experienced during antebellum slavery #BlackHistoryMonth
