Ep 241: Surprise! It’s Racism - Lake Lanier

About this episode

The episode discusses the dark history of Lake Lanier, including the forced removal of indigenous people and the expulsion of Black citizens, suggesting the presence of angry ghosts beneath the water.

A man made lake over a lot of man made problems. Specifically problems made by white men. From the forced removal of the indigenous Cherokee to the expulsion of all the Black citizens, there are possibly a ton of very angry ghosts underneath 160 feet of water. Also maybe a ghost stick?
