Centennial Olympic Park is a 21-acre public park in downtown Atlanta, built for the 1996 Summer Olympics. A glass marker there carries the Centennial Olympics emblem and a quote from Andrew Young, the former Atlanta mayor and United Nations ambassador who helped lead the city's bid for the Games, contrasting Olympic coverage with news of "war and tragedy."
