Legends, leaders on hand for civil rights center groundbreaking
From the post:
The equivalent of Atlanta royalty—members of civil rights dynasties like the Kings, the Farrises, the Youngs, and the Lowerys; top city officials, including Mayors Reed, Franklin, and Massell; and c-level executives from The Coca-Cola Company, Delta, and Georgia-Pacific—all turned out Wednesday for the official groundbreaking of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights (NCCHR) at Pemberton Place. In fact, the generally unflappable Monica Pearson, who served as MC, was in trouble once she strayed from her script and started inviting individual VIPs to get up from their seats on the lawn and join the centerstage groundbreaking photo op.
