Sweet Auburn Green & Equitable
Published March 23, 2023
Sweet Auburn is one of the country’s most historically significant neighborhoods – the childhood home of Martin Luther King Jr and the location of Ebenezer Baptist Church where he ministered with his father until his assassination in 1968.
Sweet Auburn Green & Equitable (SAGE) is an ambitious planning and investment strategy that connects economic development to neighborhood residents through community-led advocacy and investment to promote shared prosperity, sustainability, and Black cultural preservation in the Sweet Auburn district. It is designed to overcome the systemic inequality perpetuated when historically Black neighborhoods are redeveloped without regard to the legacy residents, businesses, and culture.
