The Rush Memorial Congregational Church Historical Marker is a significant site located near Clark Atlanta University. It served as the headquarters for the Atlanta Student Movement, a pivotal moment in the civil rights era. The marker in front of the church commemorates its role in supporting student activists, particularly when campus facilities were unavailable for meetings. Rev. Joseph E. Boone, a notable civil rights leader, provided essential support by offering office space and resources to the students.
