The Atlanta University Center (AUC) consists of four historically black colleges and universities: Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Spelman College.
Dr. King attended Morehouse College, one of the institutions within the AUC, where he graduated with a degree in sociology in 1948.
The Robert W. Woodruff Library serves as a central resource for students and faculty across the AUC institutions, providing access to a vast collection of academic resources.
Students and faculty from the AUC were actively involved in protests and sit-ins during the 1960s, contributing to the fight for civil rights and social justice.
Founded in 1881, Spelman College has a long history of empowering African American women through education and leadership.
The AUC Art Collective and various cultural events hosted by the colleges showcase the rich artistic talents of students and faculty.
Located at Morehouse College, the chapel is a significant landmark that honors Dr. King's legacy and hosts various cultural and religious events.
