Dear Susan,

We’re officially one month away from the Golden Jubilee Weekend, and we hope you’ll join us in Atlanta as we celebrate the Southern Center for Human Rights’ 50th anniversary.

For five decades, SCHR has fought alongside communities across the Deep South, challenging injustice and working toward a more just future. This milestone weekend is a chance to come together, reflect on that legacy, and be in community with the people who continue to move this work forward.

From April 30 through May 2, we’ll gather for a full weekend of events: 

Welcome Reception | April 30 | SCHR Office

Visit our office space, join us for a welcome drink, light bites, and brief remarks about the power of 50 years.

Decriminalizing Race and Poverty Symposium | May 1 | GSU College of Law

Hear from keynote speakers Steve Bright and Isabel Wilkerson, as well as SCHR leaders, about the challenges to justice and how we can work together to drive stronger results.

Justice Taking Root | May 1 | The Foundry at Puritan Mill

Join us for dinner, drinks, and dancing as we celebrate 50 years of impact and raise much-needed funds to support SCHR’s mission.

Golden Jubilee Festival | May 2 | Magnolia Hall at Piedmont Park

Bring the family and celebrate with a day for justice advocates to come together in community, reflect, and build joyful connection. Tickets start at just $25 (free for children) for games, music, food, and celebration.

Whether you plan to attend one event or the full weekend, we would love to see you there. There’s still time to register and be part of everything.

We hope you’ll celebrate with us in Atlanta.

With gratitude,
