This September 22nd marks the 116th anniversary of the Atlanta Race Massacre. If you’re a long time listener, you may remember I covered this in Episode 19. But what you may also remember, is that I called it the 1906 Race Riot. That has been the accepted nomenclature since the event happened in 1906, but today, I want to revisit the story, add more history and detail and share the updated language and why it’s so important.
To do that, I have a very special guest, Ann Hill Bond. She talks about the Change the Name Campaign, how the massacre reached South Atlanta and East Point, the often overlooked financial impact and the role of Black Press.

Now this conversation is truly inspiring! We know it to be true already - but this just adds credence for why history as written is so very incomplete! “The hand that holds the pen writes history.” Thank you for your strivings to elevate the voices of the harmed to this important, horrific history.
