“I moved to GA in 2001 and immediately took a college class to try and understand the SW GA people and places that were to be my own, my professor at the time was excellent but time, and possibly caution, didn’t leave us enough time to really delve deep into the dirty XX century history the way it would have needed to be addressed—at least for me—to truly wrap my head around and understand the ‘parkway divide’ that I travelled daily.
Please, please, please, consider making your podcast a continued recount of the history that made America, hence not just the South, the country of disparities that it still is today: as you so aptly put it, “to understand who we are today, we need to understand who we were”.
In times of “history cleansing” such as our current times, voices like yours and your students’ are essential to give a voice to those that are once again being silenced.”
