Book Description:
Filled with remarkable vintage photographs, Black America: Augusta, Georgia captures the essence of the African-American heritage in this historic Southern community. The Garden City has produced a wide variety of intellectual and political pioneers, including a handful of educators who were instrumental in the pivotal Brown versus Board of Education case. Within the pages of this volume, their stories unfold.
Author Bio: Local authors Sean Joiner and Gerald J. Smith pay homage to the people-past and present-who have played an instrumental role in the achievements of the African-American community of Augusta. Joiner, a local cultural enthusiast, and Smith, a retired English professor at Paine College, are proud to present this pictorial celebration of history and heritage.
