It’s sometimes easy to fool yourself into thinking that slavery was so long ago. It’s easy to forget just how recent it actually was, especially since people and history books like throwing around 400 years as the benchmark. However, when you really look at the timeline of damaging, dangerous, and deadly incidents like race riots, massacres, and lynchings, you realize that there are people who are still walking this earth who grew up during those times. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on the 1921 Murder Farm Massacre that gutted a rural community in Georgia.

Regardless of the circumstances, we have refused to allow our spirits to be broken and have carried on the good fight for centuries. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on the 1970 Augusta Riot, an uprising that shook a Georgia community and led to lasting change.
