HISTORY

On November 21st of 2006, Atlanta Police executed a fraudulent search warrant on the home of 92 year old English Avenue resident, Kathryn Johnston. Ms. Johnston was shot and killed in this botched drug raid, and the three former police officers involved in the incident are now serving their prison sentences. Ms. Johnston's unjustified death illuminated the issues of poverty and crime in the English Avenue Community, located blocks away from major tourism such as Georgia Tech, the Georgia Dome, and Coca-Cola. Atlanta businessman, John Gordon, saw an opportunity to fill Ms. Johnston's life with lasting meaning. He teamed up with Reverend Anthony Motley, a minister in English Avenue for over 30 years, to provide resources and hope to a community in dire economic and social straights. Since the Friends of English Avenue, Inc. became incorporated in April of 2009, we have spearheaded beautification/clean-up, crime reduction, and green-space development initiatives that have significantly impacted English Avenue residents, and the community as a whole. Our mission is to make English Avenue a safer and better place to live, which affects the broader community of Atlanta
