There is street named for him and a giant bust on Auburn Avenue...but do you really know what he's done? From a rough childhood to railway mail clerk, Grandmaster Mason, husband, father and voting rights activist. He's left a long legacy in the city and especially on the street he loved so much - Auburn Avenue.

Atlanta Crackers

Friday Feb 15, 2019
The Crackers may sound familiar, but what about the Osceolas, Atlantans, Firecrackers, Windjammers, Deppens, Cubs and Panthers? This week, I’m talking about the parallel worlds of white and black baseball in Atlanta, all of the club iterations, and where these games were played.

Washerwomen Strike
Friday Feb 08, 2019
Friday Feb 08, 2019
In 1881, not even two decades out of slavery, a group of Atlanta's African American washerwomen started the "Washing Society" and launched the fight for higher wages, respect and acknowledgement of black women's important role in the New South economy. One of best lesser-known 'herstories' of the city.

Westview Cemetery is one of the largest in the Southeast, opening in 1884. Today I get to share how it got started, what that big tower is all about, and why I think everyone should visit this weekend! I barely scratched the surface, so please read Jeff Clemmon's book:
