The Hero Walk is envisioned to weave together the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail and John Lewis Freedom Parkway with Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park and Historic Oakland Cemetery along with the emerging Memorial Drive Greenway and less activated parts of Atlanta's urban core, all while telling a compelling story of Atlanta's Black heroes past and present.The walk is only 1.1 miles from the Jackson Street Bridge to Historic Oakland Cemetery, and along the way will pay homage the many great spiritual, civic, and political leaders whose legacies lie in Sweet Auburn.The Hero Walk is an opportunity to experience the Sweet Auburn Historic District as a living monument, lifting up stories of the community through activating the existing built environment with strategies including historic markers and wayfinding, temporary and permanent installations, and more.
