Augusta, Georgia (Black America Series)

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.

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.
