One of the most exciting weeks in memory at The Wren’s Nest is finally reaching the screen as the National Geographic series “Genius: MLK/X” premieres on Feb. 1, with streaming the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. The series, following the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, was filmed a year ago around Atlanta sites — including The Wren’s Nest.

We started 2024 on a bright note thanks to Hands On Atlanta!

The Wren’s Nest is grateful to receive grant support from Fulton County Arts & Culture for its 2023 cultural programming.
