This is a story about two men; one from the North, one from the South, one from humble beginnings and one from a prominent family. Both would shape the city of Atlanta at its infancy, changing the ways it’s citizens traveled and lived. Both names dot the streets and parks of Atlanta and one is rumored to be the inspiration for the infamous Rhett Butler. Listen this week to find out who they were!

The Neighborhood Union
Friday Jul 19, 2019
Friday Jul 19, 2019
The Neighborhood Union was the first, female-led black social work organization in the city. Atlanta women led the charge to educate children, find them safe places to play, schools to learn in and ways to ensure everyone’s health and safety was a priority, so that they could then focus on lifting themselves and their neighborhoods out of poverty. AND this in an era of strict Victorian societal rules, racism and sexism. Their legacy in Atlanta still lives on, both in organizations and even a physical building...which I will tell you about in this episode!
