Jeff Hullinger explores the lives of two “outsiders” who impacted many Georgians. Xernona Clayton came to help Martin Luther King, Jr. in his quest for civil rights, but became a TV trail blazer. And Poet Laureate Robert Frost accepted an invitation to teach a class at Agnes Scott College that started a decades long relationship, influencing a generation in their love of language and poetry.
