SUMMARY:Black Magnolias
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This guided walking tour explores the history\, lives\, and labors of Atlanta’s African American women.  \nHistorically\, many African American women worked as maids\, child nurses\, cooks\, and laundresses—all while managing their own households. As educational opportunities became available following the Civil War and emancipation\, African American women aspired to occupations beyond domestic service. Many sought jobs as educators and nurses. Others with access to advanced education became lawyers and physicians. With increasing economic stability\, more African American women became stay-at-home mothers\, focusing their efforts on homemaking and children. Many African American women also considered it their duty to serve their communities and churches\, and they did so in both professional and volunteer positions. This guided walking tour moves beyond historical stereotypes to explore the history\, lives\, and labors of Atlanta’s African American women.  \nThis tour starts at the Main Gate (main entrance at Oakland Avenue and MLK Jr. Drive) at 10:30 a.m. Please arrive a few minutes early to check in at the volunteer desk inside the Visitor Center (located in the parking lot) before meeting at the Main Gate.  \nSpaces are limited\, so we recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]Get Tickets [/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Historic Oakland Foundation Members  \nHistoric Oakland Foundation memberships include free tickets for special topic tours.
