Ward System

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/11/01

The Old Fourth Ward is arguably the trendiest Atlanta neighborhood right now, but do you know how it's got its name? This week we’re covering the city's first five wards, the expansion of the ward system and honestly, what a ward even was. In order to understand Atlanta, it's important to see how the city was divided in its earliest days and what criteria was used to do so. https://biketoursatl.com/atlanta-street-art-bike-tour/ Enjoying the podcast

The Herndons

2019/10/25

So many Atlantans do not know the story of The Herndons - who they were, the careers and companies associated with them and most importantly, the lasting legacy on this city. This history isn’t just about a family - it’s about gender, race, slavery, entrepreneurship, modern women, sexuality and even the Civill Rights movement. They are my favorite historical family and I can’t wait to share this with you. http://www.herndonhome.org/ Enjoying the podcast

Reconstruction

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/10/18

This week, we’re talking about a period in Atlanta and Georgia’s history called Reconstruction. To put it simply, the period after the Civil War, our then-divided country has to figure out how to make themselves whole again. We're covering Presidential Reconstruction, Congressional Reconstruction, the role of Atlanta in this time and the story of the 33 expelled legislators. Enjoying the podcast

The Klan

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/10/11

This week, we’re covering a darker period in Atlanta’s history - the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan reigned terror throughout the United States, first in the period immediately after the Civil War and then again in the first decade of the new century. You will be blown away at how many homes, buildings, places and names in this city have ties to the organization. https://biketoursatl.com/atlanta-street-art-bike-tour/ Enjoying the podcast

The Temple

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/10/04

Did you know The Temple is the oldest synagogue? Starting off in rented halls with a borrowed Torah, it was during the first Jewish wedding in 1876, that the Rabbi calls for a formal congregation. They would see two world wars, the lynching of Leo Frank, the resurgence of the KKK, the Civil Rights movement and the infamous bombing that took out a 16-foot hole in their place of worship.

Listen to learn about how both Peachtree Road and Buckhead got their names, the oldest church, forgotten burials, erased neighborhoods and why Mayor Hartsfield pushed for annexation. https://biketoursatl.com/atlanta-street-art-bike-tour/ Enjoying the podcast

Boxing + Tiger Flowers

2019/09/13

From John Sullivan's visit to Atlanta in 1883 for a “scientific sparring exhibition” his second visit in 1893 and the governor sending the Volunteer Militia to chase out a boxing match in 1894...Atlanta has had a complicated relationship with boxing.

African American Newspapers

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/09/06

This week, we have a story about African American newspapers, but it’s so much more than paper and words. Behind each publication was a man with an agenda, with strong beliefs and usually a strong personality. By learning about black newspapers, we can learn about fascinating Atlantans. Throw in stories of editors being run out of the city and unsolved murders, and this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Enjoying the podcast

Carnegie Libraries

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/08/30

This week, I get to talk about my favorite thing in the whole world - books. Well, technically it’s about where we keep books...but it’s also a story of gender, power, race and access to information. Before the age of technology and the internet, books represented knowledge, and knowledge is power. Keeping that power away from people has been a tool used by the ruling party since the dawn of time. Libraries are a physical link to that power struggle and help us tell the story.

Whittier Mill Village

2019/08/23

If I gave you two words - Atlanta and mill town - and asked you the first thing that came to mind, I expect for most people it would be Cabbagetown. This week, I’m going to tell you about Atlanta’s other mill town. Tucked away at the edge of the city limits, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. This is a story of Northern business, women in power, southern labor and how preservation can give us insights into life over a century ago. Enjoying the podcast

Motorcycle Racing

2019/08/16

This week, I’m telling a love story - the love of two wheels with a motor, the love for risk and fear and the love that Atlantans had watching these men and their machines. It's a story of tracks, velodromes, motordromes and speedways, and the events that happened at these places. http://archivemoto.com/ Enjoying the podcast

Atlanta Churches - Part II

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/08/02

Many times, churches are the oldest or only surviving buildings in a community. By looking past their initial purpose, we can use location, building materials and even architecture to tell us more about the history of Atlanta and it's people. This week, I'm back to tackle Part II of Atlanta's churches. Stories not just about buildings, but also enslaved people, protesting nuns, church built by the Confederates, the owners of Stone Mountain and yes, even old yearbooks. Enjoying the podcast

Peters + Hurt

2019/07/26

This is a story about two men; one from the North, one from the South, one from humble beginnings and one from a prominent family. Both would shape the city of Atlanta at its infancy, changing the ways it’s citizens traveled and lived. Both names dot the streets and parks of Atlanta and one is rumored to be the inspiration for the infamous Rhett Butler. Listen this week to find out who they were! Enjoying the podcast?

The Neighborhood Union

Archive Atlanta ·

2019/07/19

The Neighborhood Union was the first, female-led black social work organization in the city. Atlanta women led the charge to educate children, find them safe places to play, schools to learn in and ways to ensure everyone’s health and safety was a priority, so that they could then focus on lifting themselves and their neighborhoods out of poverty. AND this in an era of strict Victorian societal rules, racism and sexism. Their legacy in Atlanta still lives on, both in organizations and even a

African American Hospitals

2019/06/21

In 1885, the death rate for black Atlantans was 2.5 times greater than whites. By 1900, the black death rate exceeded the white by 69%. African American deaths accounted for 50% of the city’s deaths, while only accounting for 40% of its population. Crawford Long, Piedmont, Emory University Hospital, Georgia Baptist, Egleston Hospital for Children, St. Joseph's Infirmary, and the Scottish Rite Hospital were only available for the white population of Atlanta, so hospitals for black Atlanta were a dire
