I want to thank all of you for participating in this year’s MLK Day of Service. I commend all of you who decided  not to relax on this day but  to use the time to do work for others.  This  year our service project was located at Price Middle School in Atlanta and all seemed to have a wonderful time. Our task was to prepare a space for activity for the students by cleaning a once abandoned space and painting stripes for hopscotch and four square courts. We had both young and old working  together to complete a space where the Price Middle School students will definitely enjoy. Mrs Marcia Brown of Hands on Atlanta told me that they had no idea how they where going to layout four square and hopscotch courts  but  when she heard that NOMA was getting involved, her  mind  was at ease.

Not only did we complete the job,but we were also able to build a relationship with Hands on Atlanta and Price Middles School.  There is talk of  doing future projects so stay tuned.

But, in that short time span, the city around it and, indeed, the world around it has transformed.

Now, the time has come for the Atlanta History Museum to make its own leap forward. The Atlanta History Center is seeking architects and architectural team to help transform its museum.

This is your chance to reshape history.
