The Atlanta Chapter is working on a project to revamp the home of the original 1949 WERD Dial 860 facility on the second floor in the Masonic Lodge building at 330 Auburn Avenue; one floor up from where Dr. Martin Luther King's Office was located and his first floor office is soon to be restored by the National Park Service.

Included with this project the facility will house a historical National Black Radio History Museum recognizing the community heroes in radio broadcasting; who, would otherwise not get recognized. Included will be a historical database of individuals who were a part of Black Radio, from Jack Cooper in 1929 to present day terrestrial and internet announcers, promoters and staff.
