Debates about race in America often generate more heat than light — but the data deserves a serious look.
According to the Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, the median White family held $285,000 in wealth, compared to just $44,900 for Black families and $61,600 for Hispanic families.
While Black and Hispanic wealth did grow between 2019 and 2022, the actual dollar gap still widened — because they started from a much smaller base.
The disparities don't stop there. The U.S. Sentencing Commission found Black males received federal sentences 13.4% longer than White males under similar circumstances.
The CDC reports that Black women died from pregnancy-related causes at more than three times the rate of White women in 2024 — 44.8 versus 14.2 deaths per 100,000 live births.
Numbers alone can't explain every disparity — but they can tell us when something demands a closer look. Read More... |
Besharat Gallery invites art lovers to experience its distinctive blend of fine art and atmosphere across two remarkable locations. In Atlanta, the gallery anchors the historic Castleberry Hill art district, filling a turn-of-the-century building — complete with exposed brick and stone — with paintings, photography, and sculpture from around the world. Across the Atlantic, the gallery's Barbizon outpost occupies a 19th-century villa in one of France's most storied pre-Impressionist villages, showcasing celebrated contemporary artists alongside emerging talent. A sculpture-lined garden path invites visitors into a peaceful immersion of art and nature. |

Serenbe is a one-of-a-kind intentional community designed for residents of every generation — from young families to retirees — built around connection, culture, and the natural world. Life there revolves around outdoor performances, seasonal festivals, live music, film screenings, and a thriving artist-in-residence program that brings classes, dinners, and talks to neighbors throughout the year. Fresh food is woven into the fabric of the community, anchored by a 25-acre organic farm growing over 300 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers — with edible landscaping and blueberry bushes lining the neighborhood paths. |

A major healthcare milestone is coming to South and West Atlanta. Morehouse School of Medicine and Atrium Health have received approval to build a new teaching hospital at 675 Metropolitan Parkway SW, with Atrium Health committing more than $700 million in capital and clinical investment.
The move directly addresses a gap left when Atlanta Medical Center and Atlanta Medical Center South both closed in 2022, forcing residents to travel farther for emergency care. The planned hospital will open with roughly 50 beds — expandable to over 700 — and include a Level III trauma center, obstetrics, critical care, and a broader network of primary, urgent, and specialty clinics across Central and South Fulton County.
Beyond healthcare, the project is projected to support around 5,400 construction jobs and nearly 4,800 permanent positions, with an estimated annual economic impact of $1.25 billion once fully operational. The City of Atlanta is expected to contribute more than $115 million toward site preparation and infrastructure. |

Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta is giving visitors more reasons to dive in this season. The aquarium is currently offering a buy-one-get-one deal on general admission for kids ages 3–12, plus a combo ticket with the nearby World of Coca-Cola at over 15% off. Beyond the exhibits — which include dolphin, penguin, beluga, and sea otter encounters — the aquarium's Aqua Vino fundraising event returns for its 20th year, supporting ocean research and conservation. On the science side, the aquarium has been spotlighting mission-driven work, from rescuing beluga whales to tracking the secret migrations of giant tiger sharks. |

Canoe is one of America's most acclaimed dining destinations — and it's hiding in plain sight along the Chattahoochee River in the Atlanta community of Vinings, Georgia.
Inducted into Nation's Restaurant News' Fine Dining Hall of Fame and celebrated by outlets like Bon Appétit, The Wine Spectator, and The New York Times, Canoe pairs culinary excellence with stunning natural surroundings — think colorful gardens, a tranquil waterfront, and meandering walkways.
Beyond dinner, the restaurant hosts weddings and corporate events beneath crisp white tents overlooking the river. Tucked away, but absolutely worth finding. |

Tua Tagovailoa is heading into a new chapter — and a new city. The Atlanta Falcons have named him their Week 1 starting quarterback against the Pittsburgh Steelers, capping a training camp competition with Michael Penix Jr., who is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last November. Tagovailoa, who signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in March after six seasons with the Miami Dolphins, showed flashes in the preseason — going 7 of 8 for 95 yards against his former team. Meanwhile, Miami remains on the hook for over $99 million tied to his previous contract extension. |
