The COVID-19 vaccine was developed at record speeds, which is causing some hesitation amongst people while many others are lining up to take it.

#TBT to one of our favorite community activation initiatives, ArtSwap ATL. Through a partnership with the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, our team at @sparkcorps collaborated with students at Cristo Rey Atlanta and @georgiastateuniversity to co-create a solution that would increase youth community engagement with Atlanta's Woodruff Park. ArtSwap ATL was born through this process, an art sharing/gift art program. Local artists were selected to paint mailboxes to house the art safely in the park. This mailbox was painted by @70dot . We hope to see more ArtSwap-ping this spring and summer on the hashtag #artswapatl #communityactivation #woodruffpark #adid #atl #fafatl #giftart #freeart

Out earn $$$ 2. Outlearn ... 3.Outrun My blackness. I used to look down my nose at other black people. I hated myself. I’d internalized white racism. But no more, black is beautiful. Colorblindness is bs. Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud." -Storyteller # 423 Visit @what_isyourstory to learn more! #whatisyourstory #wiys #storytelling #diversity

REPOST: @atlantahistorycenter : "In the fall of 1918, residents of Atlanta were instructed to quarantine as a flu pandemic ravaged the country. After just two weeks of isolation, Mayor Asa Candler reopened the city. A record number of new cases emerged as the pandemic's second wave hit, devastating our city. Learn more about the 1918 influenza epidemic in Atlanta at the link in our bio." We have shared this link in our bio as well to amplify this story, thank you Atlanta History Center.#atlantahistorycenter #ATLstrong #makehistory #togetherwecan #yourstorymatters #publichealth #publichealthhistory #1918 #1918pandemic #1918flu #nationalarchives #atlantahistory
