The History Behind the History of The APEX Museum
Back in 1978, a noted filmmaker and visionary named Dan Moore was attending a banquet to honor a man by the name of Dr. Benjamin E. Mays. Dr. Mays was an African American minister, educator, scholar and was the president of Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. History books cite him as being among the most articulate critics of segregation before the modern civil rights movement in the USA. While Moor was attending the commemoration for Mays, he was inspired to build an American museum that would celebrate the achievements and untold history of African Americans. This museum was the African American Panoramic Experience (APEX) Museum.
The museum is one of the many tourist attractions in Atlanta and is open from Tuesday through Saturday from 10am-5pm, with limited hours on Sundays (depending on the month). You can contact the visitor’s center for more information on ticketing and pricing. The museum occasionally features guest speakers and offers interesting exhibits and tours.

If you’re thinking of planning a trip to Atlanta, Georgia, you had better get out a pen and paper because there are a lot of things to see and do. One of the main attractions in the Atlanta area is the 
When I first purchased my brand new Jeep Liberty back in the summer of 2007, I had no idea that not even a year later, the United States would be in the middle of a gas crisis. I even tried to sell it back, but despite the fact that it was still brand-spanking new (well-gently used let’s say), no one would touch it with a ten foot pole! My vehicle had officially been branded a “gas guzzler” and no one was looking for a vehicle that sucked up as much gas as mine did while gas prices were continuing to rise.
Everyone has that one horror story from renting a car. Once, when I rented a car, I was informed by the gentleman of the car rental agency (whose name I will not reveal) who was completing my paperwork, that I “didn’t have to worry about filling the gas tank back up upon returning the vehicle.” Supposedly, it was part of some special deal/incentive thing that they were having at the time (which I didn’t even know about). Now, when a car rental agency rents you a vehicle, a representative is supposed to verbally go over your contract with you to highlight certain key points because, let’s face it, who wants to sit there and spend an hour reading through the 10 page contract while there are other customers standing in line behind you? In any case, I returned the car with a half tank of gas. Of course, when I returned the vehicle, there was a different sales representative there who had no idea that this other representative had given me a “deal” and he tried to charge me for the gas tank not being filled up. When we examined the contract, it turned out that the rental car agency did have a policy about returning the vehicle with a full tank. However, due to the mix up, the sales representative (who by this time, got his manager involved) let it go.
