Georgia History

Saturday on The Local Take, I speak with Brenda Lynne Roberts, a former educator in Savannah who serves on The Weeping Time Commemoration Committee.  I talk with Ms. Roberts about Senate Bill 90 (SB90), which will create a Georgia Commission on African American History and Culture.

This week on WCLK's The Local Take I asked historian Hermina Glass Hill to share with us information about HB 906 which will allow the sale of a portion of historic Butler Island to investors who want to open a brewery. 

This week on The Local Take I speak with Mary Frances Early, the first African-American graduate of the University of Georgia.  Ms. Early graduated with a Master's Degree from UGA in 1962, after earning her bachelor's degree at what was then called Clark College.
