2023/10/27

For Halloween, Liz Clappin (Tomb With A View) and I are talking about the history of cremation and why Atlanta did not get its first crematorium until the 1980s, which is a century behind the rest of the United States. It’s a story of race, religion, class and tradition and you don’t want to miss it. Follow Tomb With A View on IG Want to support this podcast?

This week, I have collected the stories of Emily Battey, Isma Dooly and Mildred Seydell into Part II of my Women of Atlanta series. The three women we’re talking about today are all white, all upper class but they all share the same profession - albeit decades apart - and were writers and journalists and way ahead of their time.

2023/09/22

Today marks the 117th anniversary of the Atlanta Race Massacre, so I am replaying my episode from last year with Ann Hill-Bond. I did an Episode 19 WAY back in the beginning of this journey that is titled 1906 Race Riot, but this episode with Ann was so important because we discussed her efforts to change the name, we included the stories of Brownsville and East Point and really got into the details about the financial impact and the role of the Black press. So without further ado, hope you enjoy

German Community

Archive Atlanta ·

2023/09/01

This week, we’re talking about Atlanta’s small, but fascinating German community - who they were, when they arrived and how they left their culture and legacies around the city. In 1890, the entire state of Georgia had only 1.78% of residents with foreign patronage and Atlanta’s immigration story is really one that occurs post-1965 Immigration Act, but all that being said, there were small racial and ethnic communities from the founding of Atlanta in the 1840s. The very first Germans in Atlanta also

This week, I am sharing an interview I did last week with Hannah Palmer, talking about everything she does in Atlanta, from her book Flight Path to the recent Ghost Pools exhibit, presented by Flux Projects. I learned a lot about the history of public swimming places, spring-fed pools, the switch to what we think of today as a swimming pool and how these public spaces were battlegrounds in the Civil Rights Movement.

This week, we’re talking about Candler Warehouse, today, The MET.

The story of the "Miss Atlanta" pageant coincides with the growth of Atlantic City's "Miss America". Like all things Atlanta in the 1920s, this contest and the choosing of a ‘representative’ of our city, was tied with the marketing of and push to sell the Gate City to the rest of the country.
