athens anti-discrimination movement

The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement was created as a means to elevate minority voices in 2015 and has since then become a staple in the Athens community.

The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement’s recent documentary film aims to mobilize the community to join the organization’s long term investment in their wide variety of social justice efforts.

The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement held a vigil and libation ceremony at the University of Georgia’s Baldwin Hall on May 4 to honor the enslaved people buried in unmarked graves beneath them and celebrate the Athens Day of Jubilee. During a reconstruction project, it was discovered that Baldwin Hall was built over top African-American remains from the Jackson Street Cemetery.

In response to recent anti-Asian attacks, Athens organizations such as the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement and SOUL are working to support Asian-Americans.
