The Temple Art
Atlanta, Georgia Art
The Temple (formally, the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation) is a Jewish center in Atlanta, Georgia. The oldest Jewish congregation in Atlanta, the Hebrew Benevolent Society, was established in 1860 to serve the needs of German-Jewishimmigrants. The Temple, designed by Philip Trammell Shutze in a Neoclassical style, was completed in 1931.
During the 1950s and 1960s The Temple became a center for civil rights advocacy. In response, white supremacists bombed The Temple on October 12, 1958, with no injuries. While arrests were made, there were no convictions. Atlanta Journal-Constitution editor Ralph McGill's outraged front-page column on the Temple bombing won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing. The Temple (location) as well as the bombing event was used as a central theme in the Academy Award-winning Best Picture "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989).
