the railroad emanating from atlanta. the georgia railroad going to augusta. the macon and weston down to macon and eventually savannah. the atlanta and west point eventually to montgomery. cut the railroads. and his plan was succeeding. david evans of athens, georgia, has written the book on sherman's cavalry in the atlanta campaign. he reminds us that rousseau had cut the line to montgomery in mid-july cutting fully 26 miles or so of that line. it was knocked out of operation for at least a month. moreover, when sherman was throwing his cavalry and mcpherson's army east of atlanta, they descended upon the railroad to augusta at stone mountain and started marching in tearing up more railroad on july 18th and more on the 19th, 20th as mcpherson was coming toward the city from the east. hood, on his first full day of command faced this situation with at least four of thomas' 14th, 14th, 21st, 4th divisions and corps south of the teapeache creek. schofield coming in from the northeast. as i see, mcpherson's army of the tenn

and the black calhouns of atlanta. who are the black calhouns? they were an extended atypical african-american family for through 1865 to 1965, north and south, they're all so typically america in their dreams and aspirations. they were typically america because the founding brother, cal hup, he believed in the american dream. although he was a slave until he was 35 he was lucky because despite laws mandating literary for blacks, he had been educated by his owner. the first man to sign georgia's article of succession and the cousin that cool hewn was a powerful literal butler. moses was geographically lucky because he lived there. >> it gave him everything he needed for luck and freedom. bee site the 13th amendment which made him truly free. the 14th gave him equality under the law and the 15th gave him the vote. he was therefore an american citizen with all the rights of every other american citizen. as an enterprising an and intelligent man, moses took advantage of everything that reconstruction had to offer. i don't know what would have happen

by 1973 the thety of atlanta -- the city of atlanta, the city that famously became too busy to hate, had a black mayor, and former students of the atlanta university manifesto were now in charge of the municipality. although the 1970s were personally mournful years for lena who lost her father and husband and son between 1971 and 1972, the 1980s saw another extraordinary change in the career of moses calhoun's great granddaughter. she opened in a one-woman broadway show that brought her every honor and accolade known in the theater. the 1980s were a decade of horns for black calhouns north and south. in march 1981, the same month that saw lena's triumphant broadway return, dr. homer nash, the great grandson of moses' sister, died at the age of 94. in the words of the atlanta constitution, dr. ohio her nash's -- ho her gnash's death ends in error. he was the longest practicing black doctor in georgia and the longest practicing doctor of any race in atlanta. you could call the black calhouns lucky, but they were never selfish achievers. they shared their bountiful gifts and achievement

i went to college in atlanta. i still have alfreds in my life, and it doesn't really change how people view me in the streets anyway. >> trevor: yeah. >> like, it's amazing if i put on a polo and a gold chain, and then i go up to them speaking the king's english, they're like, "wait, wait, wait. hold on! aren't you supposed to be like this? shouldn't you be that way?" "no, it's what you sometimes put on me." i like wearing lids and throwing on something different eye like to throw off people's expectations of what they think i am >> trevor: that's really what "atlanta" is. for people who haven't watched it, when you started watching "atlanta," you think this is just a show about hip-hop. i remember when "atlanta" was being previewed, when they were doing the previews for the agents and stuff, someone was in the room, and they were like, "oh, is that, that new black show?" "it's a black show." it was talked about as donald glover's "black show." it actually is. >> they were actually right, this time. it's a black-a

six of them were from the civil rights community in atlanta. for people from the kings center, and a rabbi from the temple in atlanta. and then the other six members were wiped from forsyth county and the chair of that side was a tellingly a local real estate title attorney. the big anxiety was about land. this is the thing that stirs up incredible anxiety. the issued a report after your working together, it's very telling the report they issued, there's a lot of info in the committee was convened to be finished up almost a year late and nobody was paying much attention when it finally issued their findings. went i got hold of the report i was astonished because it contains to report for a white report and the black report. so they been working together for your and they could not, they came up with two separate documents. the white report said that black citizens had quote allegedly been driven out of the county, in their estimation most of them involuntarily relocated. they blamed the boll weevil which the ball we will doesn't come to george

it felt a lot from atlanta. there were cow pastors and it felt much more of the appalichian foothills than sa bush bean -- saburban atlanta. there were no black people anywhere. kids tole me what they heard from their parents and grandparents. a long time ago they said, this white girl got raped and killed by a black man and her body was found in the woods just a few miles from the house where i grew up. this why it was all white and according to my classmates, it always would be. is that up to me? hey. yes, you may. the world learned that there was a place in north georgia where segregation was alive and well and white people lived like if there had been in brown versus education, no selma march, no montgomery busboy cot.boycott. it kept all country all white from 1912 to 1987. easy to forget now that the king day was actually rather controversial and a guy name chuck blackburn who had moved to the county from california and been shocked that none of his friends from north could visit him came up with a modest

it was a former insurance salesman from atlanta. he was it a light skinned son of equally light-skinned upper-middle-class atlanta parents and he personally investigates this quadruple lynching in 1918 by posing as a white man. most likely as they traveled as a cosmetic salesman . which is his entrance into the other side of the tracks. in 1942, world war ii when the two boys were lynched, you again have a story of labor mobility. that really drives the local white phrases and they really believe that the black cook was quitting because she has money coming in from a son in the service or a husband working in the shipyard at the coast and that this is some sort of insurrection and a harbinger of the end of white supremacy so labor mobility, black migration, black protests, another area where we would see an upsurge in black protests, all reflected in this horrible act of violence against two boys the same age as emmett till, 13 years before emmett till becomes emmett till. it's also the first fbi investigation of a lynching in histo

i still found this when i was looking at comments on the atlanta journal to leave us alone. there was a story where wright arguello, my elementary school is paying for this guide was the person of the bank of cummings. when there was an incident in 1968 he reported they would just leave us alone this would all be okay. he said at the 1968 having witnessed it -- witnessed it in 1812 and he said if you leave it alone it will all go away so that was the idea i was writing on. >> and everyone hear me? >> c-span they not be able to hear you. c-span rules. >> i thank you for documenting everything. what i wanted to ask you is your research and perhaps looking at census records do you find a date at which migration of african-americans began in forsyth? my understanding is there were student organizations of the kkk >> it wouldn't be surprised by the question is a good one and this is what my friends in new york say, how is it then that when did it and? there is not a day, there's a sociologist at the university named dave accel and he wrote an art when at the end he said, his conc

back to you. >> gabe gutierrez for us in atlanta. there's a bliz zard warning in effect for some upper midwest states. bonnie schneider is tracking that for us. what are we seeing, bonnie? >> right now, we're seeing airport delays in minneapolis, 45 minutes. not really surprising, weather related for that. the rest of the country doing okay. as you hurt from the previous reports, there will be a trickle down effect. the blizzard warning we have been watching has been in the northern plains where we had terrible, terrible travel conditions across north and south dakota with just blowing and drifting snow. wind gusts as high as 70 miles per hour. causing a complete white-out situation. that will improve as we go throughout the day. as the low works its way to the east, we'll be watching for more nasty weather. the rain coming in to pennsylvania, parts of upstate new york, we could see that change over to ice at times, so be careful driving. the winds will also pick up in this area. it's going to be a little treacherous for traveler. an

inhad the opportunity atlanta to participate in some of that training ourselves. i think it opened our eyes to the very difficult decisions that law enforcement officers have to make, and the good judgment they have to have. the more that training, the more we encourage law enforcement departments to get accreditation, all of these things are important. mr. conyers is also correct when he says we learn more about this as media has become more instantaneous, and information from the furthest corners of our nation becomes known to us, sometimes while the crimes are still going on. us butould concern should also open our eyes to the fact that this is a growing problem. and one that communities need to bring police chief's online. police officers, sheriffs, community leaders, and average citizens together so they can discuss this and understand how everything works so that, a, these are less likely to occur, b, when they do occur, they handled this swiftly, so people do not engage in violence as a way to solve a problem that should never be solved that way. susan: ms.
