On Second Thought For Monday, September 26, 2016

In 1912, more than 1,000 black citizens were driven out of Forsyth County. Large tracts of land were seized and families were threatened with violence if they did not cooperate. Poet and author Patrick Phillips grew up in Forsyth County and documented the area’s complicated racial heritage in his new book, "Blood at the Root."

Plus, 2016 is the centennial year of the Pulitzer Prize. The honor has been awarded to dozens of people from or living in Georgia, and so we'll spend some time with past winners all year long in a new series we're calling, “Pulitzer Peaches.” In this month’s installment, we speak with journalist Randall Savage. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Specialized Reporting in 1985 for his investigation into academic-athletic abuses at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech.
