The City of Atlanta accepted the donation of an easement from Morehouse College, Inc. for the purpose of installing a historic marker on the campus. The marker will commemorate a significant meeting on February 5, 1960, where fifteen Atlanta University Center (AUC) students met in the Sale Hall Annex of Morehouse College to organize a movement demanding an end to segregation in Atlanta. Morehouse College donated the easement at no cost to the City. The ordinance authorizes the Mayor or his designee to execute the easement agreement and the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works to install the marker once the agreement is fully executed.
