Picturesque walking and biking trails wind around town, and the crystal blue waters of Radium Springs Gardens (once truly considered a natural wonder) glisten in the sun.

Or perhaps Albany is best known for the momentous history made in these very streets. Streets where rhythm and blues master Ray Charles was born, where the railroad system once transported people to Savannah and where Ms. Rutha Mae Harris and her Freedom Singers still perform their inspiring anthems from the Albany Movement

The Past

Over the years, Albany has been many things: a trading hub, a rail center and the birthplace of a civil rights movement. Today, it’s a bustling hometown, holding tightly to the remnants of the past while laying the stones of a brighter future.

Looking Back

Early 1800s

The Creek Indians resided along the riverbank of the now Flint River, calling their home “Thronateeska,” meaning “The place where flint is picked up.”

Civil Rights Institute

This museum is a prized jewel when it comes to the preservation of Southern Civil Rights movements. Housed in the restored 1906 Old Mount Zion Church, this exhibition shares the trials and triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement as they happened in Albany. Visitors can relive stories from the movement through first-hand accounts, photographs, documents and artifacts.

Mount Zion Baptist Church: The church that houses the institute is the most important artifact of the collection. It’s where crowds once gathered to listen to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s moving words.

1836

Albany is founded by businessman Nelson Tift, who hoped the area would become a prosperous trading center like that of Albany, New York.

1912

Union Station is built to serve passenger trains of the Albany and Northern Atlantic Coast Line, Central Georgia, Georgia Northern and Seaboard Air Line railroads.

8

Bridge House

Want to get the most out of your Albany visit? Make the Welcome Center at The Bridge House your first stop. We’ll welcome you to town and help plan your visit, all in the restored, historic site that’s held many titles since its inception in 1857.

Shiloh Baptist Church

Birthplace of the 1961 Albany Civil Rights Movement, Shiloh Baptist Church has earned a spot on the Georgia Historical Society Civil Rights Trail. Led by Civil Rights leader Rev. H.C. Boyd up until 2016, the church still holds service every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

Thronateeska Heritage Center

This site of Albany’s heritage dates back to its days as a rail community. The 1913 Union Station Depot, a legendary landmark, has been restored to house the History Museum today. Starting at Heritage Plaza, embark on a journey of the mind as you see stars at the Wetherbee Planetarium, make discoveries at the Science Museum and see one of the city’s original rail cars at the History Museum.

1961

The Albany Movement, the first mass movement in the Civil Rights era to have desegregation as its goal, begins.

1961

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. arrives in Albany and speaks at Shiloh Baptist Church.

1962

The Albany Movement ends, jailing more than 1,000 African Americans in rural Southern communities.

1962

The Freedom Singers formed a quartet in the home of Slater King, revitalizing the movement through song. Flip the page to learn more!

9

R E M E M B E R The Movement

The Albany Movement was the first mass movement in the Civil Rights era to have total desegregation as its goal. For less than a year, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. marched alongside hundreds of black and white protesters, calling for justice. After Dr. King's departure, Charles Sherrod, other SNCC Field Secretaries, and local leaders continued. In the spring of 1963, Albany officially took segregation out of its statues, desegregating the city.

The Freedom Singers

Just like MLK’s fight continued in Birmingham, so did the fight for freedom in Albany. The Freedom Singers, a quartet of activists from Albany SNCC, rose from the ashes of The Albany Movement. The group toured across the U.S. performing in YMCAs, schools, Carnegie Hall and the March on Washington. Songs like “We Shall Overcome” and “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round” became anthems of the Civil Rights Movement.

Today, Ms. Rutha Mae Harris, a member of the original group, still resides in Albany, performing the movement’s soul-stirring ballads alongside a new generation of African-American women.

Historic Performances

The Freedom Singers have performed at sites all over Albany throughout the years. These are some of the most notable:

Mount Zion Baptist Church

Bridge House

Albany State University

Shiloh Baptist Church

Albany Municipal Auditorium

Albany Civic Center

The Resora Experience

Resora exists to preserve thousands of acres of untouched beauty and the region's complex history. Wander this magnificent site of heritage, agriculture and environmental preservation. Relax in an elegantly furnished lodge, a guest house or a studio bunkhouse nestled on the peaceful banks of Resora’s 85-acre lake.

R E L A X

On a Piece of Music History

The captivating life-sized sculpture in the center of downtown’s Ray Charles Plaza is impossible to miss. If the twirling piano surrounded by painted piano key benches isn’t enough to draw your attention, the harmonious melodies that seem to drift right out of the piano surely will. This astonishing public artwork pays homage to the beloved pioneer of soul music, singer, songwriter and pianist Ray Charles, who was born in Albany. If you can’t get enough of Albany’s music scene, take a seat on a piano key and enjoy the show!
