From restaurant and shop openings to music and film festivals, there’s no shortage of Black cultural events taking place in Atlanta on any given day or night. That’s why every Wednesday UATL publishes a curated list of Black culture event recommendations to help you sift through the variety of options happening week to week.
In this edition, we’ll tell you about a concert with legends of golden-era hip-hop, ZuCot Gallery’s new exhibit, and Grant Park’s big annual house music dance party.
