Description

Encyclopedia article about the Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network. After the U.S. Congress passed the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966, sites associated with Georgia's African American heritage were listed in the National Register of Historic Places through the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). Such places as the Camilla-Zach Community Center Historic District in Hancock County, the Atlanta University Center, the Laurel Grove-South Cemetery in Savannah, the Morton Building and Theatre in Athens, and the Nicholsonville Baptist Church in Chatham County were included in these listings, and federal preservation grants assisted the rehabilitation of some properties.
