About this episode
This episode discusses the Georgia Black History Trail and its significance in connecting communities through Black history landmarks.
In this episode of Pine Mountain, Then and Now , I talk with Cindy Bowden and Whitney Ligon about an exciting new initiative—the Georgia Black History Trail. Their goal is to unite all 159 counties in Georgia through a statewide trail that connects significant Black history landmarks and stories, creating a valuable resource for citizens to explore and better understand our shared history. It’s a meaningful conversation about preserving the past, strengthening communities, and honoring the people and places that shaped Georgia.
