This week, I get to talk about my favorite thing in the whole world - books. Well, technically it’s about where we keep books...but it’s also a story of gender, power, race and access to information. Before the age of technology and the internet, books represented knowledge, and knowledge is power. Keeping that power away from people has been a tool used by the ruling party since the dawn of time. Libraries are a physical link to that power struggle and help us tell the story.

Whittier Mill Village

If I gave you two words - Atlanta and mill town - and asked you the first thing that came to mind, I expect for most people it would be Cabbagetown. This week, I’m going to tell you about Atlanta’s other mill town. Tucked away at the edge of the city limits, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. This is a story of Northern business, women in power, southern labor and how preservation can give us insights into life over a century ago.

This week, I’m telling a love story - the love of two wheels with a motor, the love for risk and fear and the love that Atlantans had watching these men and their machines. It's a story of tracks, velodromes, motordromes and speedways, and the events that happened at these places.

Atlanta Churches - Part II
Friday Aug 02, 2019
Friday Aug 02, 2019
Many times, churches are the oldest or only surviving buildings in a community. By looking past their initial purpose, we can use location, building materials and even architecture to tell us more about the history of Atlanta and it's people. This week, I'm back to tackle Part II of Atlanta's churches. Stories not just about buildings, but also enslaved people, protesting nuns, church built by the Confederates, the owners of Stone Mountain and yes, even old yearbooks.
