@ATL311, please send traffic support officers to downtown Atlanta. It’s gridlocked, due to the Publix Marathon, and there are not clear detours.
It would be great for downtown residents to get more notice of large events.
Yesterday remembered 58 years since 3 students were killed at another 28 injured in the campus of South Carolina State University. The history books call it the Orangeburg Massacre. My father was one of the ones shot, but also the only one imprisoned (wrongfully) as a result of that nights violence.
Our history was not that long ago…
Viola Ford Fletcher, oldest survivor of Tulsa Race Massacre, has died at age 111. She testified at a 2021 congressional hearing and recounted her experiences living through the Tulsa Race Massacre.
