Seeds in the Wind: Atlanta

This morning’s family media club discussion focused on a special episode of High on the Hog, “Defiance”, that features my hometown of Atlanta. 

Public history is always personal history. In this case, the episode highlighted places and people near and dear to my heart: the West End, AU Center, Paschal’s, Fourth Ward, and so much more. 

Of course it sparked a conversation about my dear Great Aunt Yvonne who was arrested as a Spelman student at a civil rights sit-in during the sixties. She later found meaning in the Peace Corps in the Philippines before traveling around the world connecting with folks wherever she went. Here’s to those extraordinary people planting seeds!

Here’s more information on these pivotal times.
