Grave Robbing (Interview w/ Liz Clappin)
Friday Oct 30, 2020
Friday Oct 30, 2020
In the spirit of Halloween, I interviewed Liz Clappin, friend and host of the podcast Tomb With A View. We talk about the earliest history of body snatching in the United States (riots in NY), through the start of it here in Georgia (Augusta's medical college purchases an enslaved man to do that work) and some incidents of it here in Atlanta and Decatur.

This week, we're learning about the overall garment, what is symbolized, where they were made in Atlanta and what Overall Clubs were.

Friday Oct 09, 2020
With Election Day under a month away, and the recent 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, there is no better time to discover the history of women's suffrage in Atlanta. Things went a little differently down South, and Georgia women did not vote until 1922, two years after the constitutional amendment. We'll talk about why, and the groups that fought for the women's vote and those that fought against it.
