Our small towns have always been laboratories of democracy. This is where hope and creativity emerge. Bravo Macon.

Important story - people are hungry for activism. I can hope that other cities showed the same.

All politics, as they say, is political.

Good article. Reminds me of my past growing up in foster homes: enslaved, robbed & abused.

Thanks for the compliment. I regret that you had that awful experience growing up.

Thank you for documenting this. We need more of these stories. I like the fact it was concrete and not vague.

Thank you for reading this piece. There was a great deal of energy in the famous Douglass Theatre where I saw James Brown and Otis Redding perform, and watched Lone Ranger movies.

You hit the nail on the proverbial head. Democracy is built one community at a time.
