Why We Started
We started the sites because Atlanta is a city rich in Black excellence, but we noticed that it can sometimes be challenging to find trusted sources highlighting the events and experiences specifically meaningful to African Americans. We launched Best of Black Atlanta to bridge this gap, creating a community-driven space where people can come together, explore, and celebrate Atlanta’s unique Black culture.
Whether you’re here to find events, explore local businesses, or connect with others in the community, we’re thrilled to be a part of your Atlanta journey. We’re here to make sure that you get the most out of the city, while supporting and uplifting the people and places that make Atlanta truly unforgettable.
We started in year 2002 as BlackLanta.com. (We still own that site). While it was catchy, it was hard to spell. We then purchased the domain name BlackAtlanta.com and in 2003, redirected BlackLanta to BlackAtlanta.com. Image source: https://web.archive.org/web/20030328000657/http://www.blacklanta.com/
