Just Us Neighbors began as the “Fountain Drive-Morris
Brown Drive Community Club” in the late 1940s,
and evolved into its present name today during the early
1950s. It was established as the first black owned,
constructed sub-division in the city of Atlanta—comprised
of a College President, College Professors, Bishops,
Clergy, School Principals, Teachers, an Architect, US
Mail Supervisors and Carriers, and entrepreneurs.
But most of all, the JUNs neighborhood was on the tour
of the Dogwood Trail as a beautiful horticultural display
of the city of Atlanta, as well as on the tour route
of the city of Atlanta’s scenic Christmas array
of lights. The neighborhood’s renown was
followed with two Triangular Parks, I and II, with Park
I dedicated to its first JUNs President, Margaret Davis
Bowen, and Park II, dedicated to the Late President,
John F. Kennedy, with an eternal gas light flame that
captured the Imagination and the attention of
the Nation, as well as a plaque dedicated to Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
