Honoring Black History with HBCUs & Divine Nine

Saturday, Feb. 21, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Free continuous shuttle loop

Presented by See Clayton County, GA, this cultural celebration invites you to spend a full day immersed in the stories, artistry, and heritage that define our community.

Enjoy free admission to four meaningful stops: the Hattie McDaniel Legacy Experience at the Road to Tara Museum, where you can explore the life and legacy of a trailblazing Oscar winner; the historic Jonesboro Rosenwald School, a rare surviving landmark of early 20th‑century black education; and the vibrant Stitching Our Story: A Celebration of Black History Quilt Show, showcasing powerful narratives told through color, craft, and creativity.

At Arts Clayton Gallery, visitors can experience Aunt Maddie’s Peoples, a solo exhibit by artist Marie Thomas. At the Jonesboro Rosenwald School, enjoy a one‑day showcase of the R&M African American Museum’s African American Doll Collection. Visitors can also join a scavenger hunt for a chance to win a prize package.

Move at your own pace as you explore each site, connect with local history and experience the people and places that continue to inspire Clayton County today.

A free, continuous shuttle will loop through all four locations throughout the day, making it easy to enjoy the full experience. This event is open to everyone and offers a welcoming, enriching way to celebrate Black History Month.
