Theater:
Despite its history as a slave state, Georgia not only housed more African American theaters than anywhere else in the country during the early 20th century, but the first theater in the country to be built, owned, and operated by an African American. Many of these historic theaters are open to the public for tours, and some even host live performances to this day. More...

In the rap and r&b scene, Usher and Ludacris both hail from Atlanta, while rock bands R.E.M. and the B-52's rose to fame from the happening music scene in Athens.
