Luther Judson Price (April 24, 1856 – July 3, 1936) was a businessman and civil rights activist who served as the postmaster in South Atlanta from 1889. His home is being renovated and restored.[1][2] A high school in Atlanta was named for him.[3]

He belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church.[4] He was assistant treasurer of the Epworth League.[5] He married and had five children.[6]

Luther Judson Price High School was established in the mid-1950s by the Atlanta Public School System, the fifth high school for Black students in Atlanta. In 1987 the school changed from a high school to a middle school.[7] After enrollment dropped it was converted to Luther J. Price Middle School.[8]

In 2022, the Price home was the subject of Season 44 of This Old House.[9][10]
