    Georgia State Lottery Mar 11, 2022
    Show notes

    This week, we're talking about the Georgia State Lottery. If you ask Google when it began, it will tell you 1991...but the truth is that is formed in 1866, and the story is rife with drama.

    Westside Park Mar 04, 2022
    Show notes

    Westside Park is the largest greenspace in the city, at 280 acres, with a 350-foot reservoir that holds 2.4 billion gallons of emergency water reserves. As Atlanta celebrates this new park, I think it’s incredibly valuable to understand the history of the land and what led to it becoming what it is today. One part is the story of a working class Black community from the turn of the 20th century that was displaced by urban renewal and the other, the story of one of Atlanta's numerous stone quarries and the prison labor that was sent to mine it.

    White Primary (Mini) Feb 18, 2022
    Show notes

    This week’s mini episode is about the history of Georgia’s white-only primary. White primaries were primary elections held in the South in which only white voters could participate and they were established by the Democratic Party and/or state legislatures in South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Georgia. Atlanta first established their white primary in 1892, and by 1900 almost every city in the state had followed their lead.

    Washerwomen Strike - REPLAY Feb 11, 2022
    Show notes

    In 1881, not even two decades out of slavery, a group of Atlanta's African American washerwomen started the "Washing Society" and launched the fight for higher wages, respect and acknowledgement of Black women's important role in the New South economy. One of best lesser-known 'herstories' of the city.

    Ida Elliott (Mini) Jan 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Ida Elliott was a young working class girl from Bellwood, today the area along Marietta Street, from 8th North Avenues. Mule-drawn trolleys came to the area in 1882, electric streetcars in 1894 and was annexed into Atlanta in 1897.

    In 1896, a sensational news story landed the neighborhood on the front page of the local papers. Since so much of our history is always about the successful, the rich, the prominent, and it’s not often that we know about the lives of the poor, or working class, or just regular everyday people from Atlanta’s past.

    Fernbank Forest is a 65-acre, old-growth forest with white oaks, tulip poplars, loblolly pines, American beech, different oaks, hickory and maples, some that are several hundred years old.
