Event Background
On November 16, 1983 a benefit was held for the Atlanta Gay Center. AIDS was beginning to take a toll on the gay community and many prominent gay personalities, entertainers, and patrons came together to raise as much money as possible to help the center with their new mission. The Atlanta Gay Center offered free AIDS testing, information, and support groups.

The AGC Story
The Atlanta Gay Center was a community center that served the gay community in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1976, the center was one of the oldest gay community centers in the United States. It has since closed and been replaced by the Atlanta Gay and Lesbian Community Center.
When the center closed, all of their operating files, news release files, and all other related historical documentation were given to the Atlanta History Center on West Paces Ferry Road and is available for research purposes.
My Charlie. 😢 I miss the good old days. I met Charlie in Pensacola Florida. He called me Nellie boy. And I loved her. Xo
I was probably there in the audience. I saw her many times at Illusions, and other places in Atlanta back then. The shows at illusions were legend.
Charlie Brown still performs in Atlanta. She's a fabulous long-lived star.
Charlie Brown sadly passed recently. 😢
