Liberty Plaza, with the Georgia State Capitol in the background. (2015)

Liberty Plaza is a public plaza in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, adjacent to the Georgia State Capitol. Completed in 2015, the 2.2 acre plaza is capable of holding over 3,000 people and has hosted numerous political demonstrations in Atlanta.

History

The idea of a public greenspace near the Georgia State Capitol dates back to 1910, when a tree-lined boulevard approaching the capitol was proposed.[1] Prior to the construction of the plaza, most political demonstrations on the Capitol grounds were held near the western entrance of the Capitol on Washington Street, which often caused the road to be closed.[2] The plaza itself was approved in the Fall of 2013 by the Georgia Building Authority, with a cost of $4.4 million that was raised through the selling of unneeded government buildings.[1] With designs by architectural firm Stevens & Wilkinson, construction of the plaza began in 2014 on the site of a 60-year old parking garage, which was demolished to make way for the plaza.[1][3] Completed in 2015, the 2.2 acre public plaza includes an 8,000 square foot grass lawn and is capable of holding over 3,000 people.[1][4][5] The first major event held at the plaza occurred on January 12, 2015, when Governor Nathan Deal held his inauguration at the newly constructed plaza.[6][7] Several days later on January 16, Deal officially dedicated the plaza.[3][8] Deal also pledged that a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. would be constructed on the plaza.[3][9]

The plaza houses model reproductions of the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty that were previously held elsewhere on the Capitol grounds.[8][10] The plaza also hosts a statue of Thomas E. Watson, which had previously been located at the Capitol steps.[11] In 2017, a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. overlooking the plaza was unveiled.[12][13] Notable demonstrations that have occurred at the plaza include the March for Our Lives in 2018, a climate strike in September 2019, and the 2020 Georgia March for Life.[14][15][16][17] In 2018, the ACLU of Georgia sent a latter to the Georgia Building Authority (which operates the plaza) urging them to amend their policies regarding permits for holding political rallies and protests at the location.[18]
