Georgia is a state in the southern portion of the United States, and was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that rebelled against Great Britain during the American Revolution.

Quotes

  • Other arms reach out to me
    Other eyes smile tenderly
    Still in peaceful dreams I see
    The road leads back to you.
    Georgia, oh Georgia, no peace I find...
    Just an old sweet song
    Keeps Georgia on my mind.

Selected article

The Culture of Georgia is a subculture of the Southern United States, which is in itself a subculture of the United States that has come from blending heavy amounts of rural Scots-Irish culture with the culture of African slaves and Native Americans. Georgians share a unique history with the other Southern States which includes the institution of slavery, the American Civil War and Reconstruction, the Great Depression, segregation and the Civil Rights Movement.

Selected biography

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968), was one of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. A Baptist minister by training, King became a civil rights activist early in his career, leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helping to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, raising public consciousness of the civil rights movement and establishing King as one of the greatest orators in American history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.

King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. Martin Luther King Day was established as a national holiday in the United States in 1986. In 2004, King was posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.[1]
