Black History Month Beacon Walking Tour

As we celebrate the 2026 Black History Month theme, “One Hundred Years of Black History Commemorations,” we invite you to join us for a powerful journey through Beacon (also known as Beacon Hill or the Bottom), once a thriving and tight‑knit Black neighborhood in downtown Decatur. Guided by former residents, descendants, and youth‑scholars, participants will visit and mark important sites throughout the neighborhood, including former homes, schools, churches, and local businesses. The tour will center stories that illuminate Beacon Hill’s enduring legacy and the ongoing efforts to preserve the land and its history. This event is open to all ages. Food will be provided.
