There was so much to learn here but my biggest takeaway as a GA mother of 3 is how to continue the conversation around race with my kids. Excellent podcast!

If the City of Augusta is to ever realize it’s community vision of “One Augusta”, that “celebrates geographic, socio-economic and racial diversity” the full history of this city’s past has to be told. Not just to illuminate the local story of the area majority, but to speak truth to their experience. As noted by Dr. John Henrik Clarke, “History is a clock that people use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are, but more importantly, what they must be.” I so... more

I live in the area and had never heard of this incident. I appreciate that the children at Jessye Norman were able to participate in the production of this series, yet I am also sadden that they had to realize the [recent] history of the town. Well done podcast series.
Apple Podcasts5BrowniesecoUnited States4 years ago - Excellent reporting
I was 14 and a 9th grade student at Langford JR High School during the riot. I vividly recall the troops camped out at my elementary school next door. My parents did not discuss the cause of the riots. Several years ago, I contacted the Augusta Museum to find information about the riots and the cause. I only got a newspaper article in response to my request. With the 50th anniversary, I have found more information on the anniversary website and by “googling”. Thank you for bringing the facts to ... more
