This event is part of WAWA’s “month of programming highlighting people of the historic Bush Mountain, Richland Hills neighborhoods, Black environmentalists and their cultural connections to stewarding the earth.”
From WAWA:
“Join us on the "Red Moore Legacy Walk", a journey through history that honors James “Red” Moore, a Bush Mountain native, and his profound contributions to Atlanta’s Black history and sports heritage. As a player for the Atlanta Black Crackers, Moore transformed the old-growth forests of Bush Mountain into his practice field, merging his athletic brilliance with the natural beauty of the community he called home.
This walking tour retraces Moore’s steps to the Atlanta Black Crackers’ practice grounds, celebrating his legacy while immersing participants in the rich history of Bush Mountain. By sharing his story, we ensure future generations recognize the intersection of culture, sport, and the environment that shaped Moore’s legacy.”
