The name of this building conveys the one of the most important aspect of human race.

My visit to the center gave me a profound learning how the American Civil Rights evolve and how it won their rights to the society and to the world. For me, it is one of the best places to visit Atlanta. The photo is part of Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum Visit Photo Collection November 2015.

Name Of The Place : Peachtree Street

Name Of The Place (Post#38) : Peachtree Street

Checking which places to see in Atlanta, I found the common address has Peachtree Street. But then later, I realized that the city itself has too many names with the keyword “Peachtree”. Then I checked what’s the reason behind the name. From my research, the site were Atlanta grew where the major village is called Standing Peachtree (has dispute if its Standing Pitch tree, which later altered to “peach”). The said site has known to have lots of Pine trees which also called as “pitch” trees due to their sap. A remarkable origin of the name.
