Historic Athens Hot Corner Heritage Walk

Description

Join artist and activist Broderick Flanigan for a walk through Hot Corner, the historic heart of Black entrepreneurship and culture in downtown Athens. Centered around the intersection of Hull and Washington Streets, Hot Corner thrived in the early 20th century with Black-owned businesses, including barbershops, mortuaries, pharmacies, dental offices, restaurants, and the iconic Morton Theatre.? Broderick brings a deep personal connection and creative lens to this walk. He has been instrumental in preserving and celebrating Hot Corner's legacy, contributing to projects like the "Hot Corner: An Athens Legacy" mural and co-producing the six-part audio documentary podcast, Hot Corner, which digs into the area's history and ongoing significance. ?
