New City Seal with Motto
Current City Seal
Proposed City Seal
Though the City of South Fulton is 92 percent African American, 0 percent of current City Seal contains any reference to African or African American culture.
In 2018, then-Councilmen khalid & Mark Baker proposed a City Seal with minor revisions.
The bird & Acropolis – which take up the majority of space on both seal – are a reference the Greek roots of western democracy. However, historical research reveals that Greece's first philosophers studied at universities in Alexandria, Egypt.
In the New Seal, Ankhs have been added to represent western democracy's true, African origins.
Read the Resolution
The City of South Fulton currently has no city motto. Dissatisfied with the way our community was being managed by County Commissioners who lived on the "other side of town," South Fulton's founders fought for cityhood to gain local control of our tax dollars & economic development — so we could determine our own destiny. In recognition of this founding principle of "self-determination," and South Fulton's 92 percent African American population, khalid & Baker chose the Swahili word
Kujichagulia
- which literally means "self-determination."
The
Resolution
calls for a gradual phasing out of the current City Seal to eliminate any financial impact to the City to replace the Seal.

RENAMING OLD NATIONAL
As we consider re-branding South Fulton, conversations have begun to rename streets like Old National & Stonewall Tell — names which celebrate the Confederacy, in which a majority of South Fulton's current citizens would have been slaves.
One popular suggestion is renaming Old National in honor of America's first Black President in an effort to attract minority-owned business to the area.
Councilman khalid has been a proponent of names that reclaim the street name from its racist history while paying homage to African American history.
Keeping suffix National Highway honors the centuries-old African American tradition of naming Black-led organizations "National" (e.g. NAACP, NABJ, NUL, NACME) and gives a nod to the organic marketing of contemporary urban music artists whose popular songs brought "Old Nat," "The Nat" and "Nat Way" international recognition.
Please share your feedback on the following names:
