Follow Lift Every Voice: Georgia Ave./Pleasant Plains Heritage Trail to meet those responsible for the birth and growth of the country’s first African American liberal arts college, the stars and the star-struck of Seventh and T, the revelers at Schuetzen Park, and the corner grocers, barbers, poets, and bootleggers of Georgia Avenue.
