🏛️ Georgia-Pacific Funds Restoration of Historic Prince Hall Masonic Temple
Georgia-Pacific, in partnership with the Trust for Public Land, has provided funding and in-kind support to restore the Prince Hall Masonic Temple and Lodge on Auburn Avenue — a building constructed between 1937 and 1941 that stands as a cornerstone of Atlanta's African American heritage. The restored 16,000-square-foot multi-use space will become part of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, with programming to be provided by the National Park Service. The temple was developed by John Wesley Dobbs, whose grandson Maynard Jackson Jr. later became Atlanta's first Black mayor and the first Black mayor of a major Southern city. The building also once housed WERD, the first radio station owned and operated by Black Americans in the United States — a legacy that underscores Auburn Avenue's unparalleled significance to civil rights history.
