Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame
Founded in 2021, the walk of fame, which sits at Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Northside Drive in Atlanta, adjacent to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, inducted its inaugural class in June.
2022 inductees
The 2022 inductees will include Black artists and music moguls whose work spans generations, including Tyson, Charles, Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Prince, Ms. Lauryn Hill, TLC, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Lionel Richie. Entertainment visionary Tyler Perry will also be inducted.
“We came to the conclusion to make sure that we were preserving history on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive by putting it in front of the Mercedes Benz Stadium,” GEC co-founder Erica Thomas told The Atlanta Voice. “Georgia and Atlanta are the Black Mecca. We couldn’t go anywhere else to start this Walk of Fame off. When they called Atlanta’ Black Hollywood’, we really had to take that metaphor and really engage and indulge in it.”
Congratulations to the Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame inductees.
