International Cotton Exposition

Friday May 29, 2020
1880 Atlanta is a city of 40,000 people, 15 years out of the Civil War, and full force into Henry Grady's "New South". Fairs and expositions were important tools for bringing business and industry and the 1881 International Cotton Exposition would bring 200,000 visitors to the Gate City. To quote the Constitution, “no city in the south has ever before had such an opportunity to enlarge its business connections, display its advantages, and add to its reputation."

Chinese Community

Friday May 22, 2020
This week, we're covering the history of Atlanta’s earliest Chinese citizens. In 1890, the entire state of Georgia had only 1.78% of residents with foreign patronage, so I wondered what brought Chinese men to Atlanta in the 1880s? What work did they do? What were their names? How did the South embrace them? Today, we’re covering all those questions and more.

This week, we're talking about school in Atlanta, from the period between 1869 - 1965. When did public school begin? Who was it for? What were it's issues? From day one, public schools dealt with over-crowding, segregation, teaching students with disabilities and even debates about prayer in school.

DeFoor Murders
Friday May 01, 2020
Friday May 01, 2020
This week is about a 141-year old, unsolved, double murder of Martin and Susan DeFoor, in what is today one of the fastest changing parts of Atlanta. This is a story of crime, race, the legal system, confessions and, of course, cemeteries. What I thought was a simple, short story, was really a 5 year-long mystery with no happy ending.
