Beacon Hill Black Alliance is an organization of committed Decatur residents challenging the racist structures in Decatur, Ga. As Black history is American history, the white-washed monuments and symbols in Decatur say otherwise as Black and indigenous peoples historical presence are rendered absent while their contemporary presence is continually threatened by Decatur as it stands. However, through Beacon Hill’s Art for the People work, educational initiatives, and advocacy, they attempt to tell the untold and model how everyday ordinary people have power to exercise that can create social change.
