THE HUNGRY CLUB FORUM – CELEBRATING OVER 60 YEARS OF
“FOOD FOR TASTE AND FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THOSE WHO HUNGER FOR INFORMATION AND ASSOCIATION”
-o0o-
In 1945, Butler Street YMCA leadership initiated The Hungry Club Forum, which began as a secret organization and then became an openly recognized and extremely effective forum between Black and White leaders. Atlanta’s first city wide forum was made up of leadership from the black community, had weekly speakers of civic interest and was one of the earliest integrated meeting places at the beginning of the civil rights movement.
