Macedonia/Bagley Park
Friday Jul 31, 2020
Friday Jul 31, 2020
The story of Macedonia Park (later called Bagley Park, and today renamed Frankie Allen Park), is vital to understanding how institutional and structural racism works and what the long-term effects are. On the heels of the Inman Park story, it highlights the dichotomy of life in Atlanta for those who were not white and not rich. How one neighborhood still exists today, beautifully restored, and how the other has been wiped from existence, with it’s only physical remnant in a state of disrepair. Today, hundreds of Buckhead residents visit this public park space, but few understand what was done to create it.

Inman Park - Part II
Friday Jul 24, 2020
Friday Jul 24, 2020
This week, we're covering the second half of Inman Park's story - from 1895, through the present day. A neighborhood that began for the wealthy, white, Atlanta elite, it's residents fought hard to keep it that way in the 1900's. By mid-century, the area was slated for demolition to build I-485, until new residents fought for it's revitalization.

Inman Park - Part I
Friday Jul 17, 2020
Friday Jul 17, 2020
Built as the first planned suburb for Atlanta’s white elite, it spurred the creation of Edgewood Avenue, the first electric streetcar and sadly, demolished worker housing to do so. It also gave us some of the most iconic homes in the city was a who's who of Atlanta’s businessmen and influential families. In Part I, we're talking about the earliest land owners and the idea and inspiration behind it's development, stopping just before the Panic of 1893.

Interracial Marriage
Friday Jul 10, 2020
Friday Jul 10, 2020
This week, we’re talking about interracial marriages, once more commonly referred to as miscegenation. While I always focus on Atlanta, there were also stories from cities across Georgia and even national events that impacted the lives of people in this city. Laws policing interracial relationships date back to colonial times and last through the 1960s, and it’s actually considered one of the longest lasting forms of legal discrimination in the US.

Podcast break is over! My first Listener Q&A episode includes amazing questions, like: “Why do you think Atlanta has such a hard time keeping its historic buildings?”, “How does Atlanta’s Civil Rights history factor into the BLM movement today?” and "How did Atlanta keep more tree coverage than any other city?" among many others.
