Tours of the new Atlanta Public Schools Archives Museum will begin Monday, with exhibits featuring high school yearbooks, a manual school bell and the principal’s counter where the parents of Martin Luther King Jr. registered for school.
The museum, located in the school district’s downtown headquarters, is designed to highlight both innovations and controversies during its 141-year history.
“This museum will not be a neutral place,” said Atlanta Board of Education Executive Director Howard Grant. “It should invoke the same kind of zeal that empowered and motivated the founders of APS.”
Information about the museum is available by calling 404-802-2200 or 404-802-3500.
