No two names are more associated with its emergence than William Tecumseh Sherman and Henry W. Grady: Sherman the destroyer and Grady the New South's principal architect. Henry Grady advocated for a more urban South but had a vision for improved farm life as well. Remembered as the "great reconciler" between North and South, his famous "New South" speech echoes through the ages. William Sherman financially supported Grady's efforts in organizing the Piedmont Exposition of 1887, a step toward opening markets on a wider scale for Atlanta and Georgia. Though Grady died young at age 39 in 1889, one cannot go far in Atlanta today without coming across his name on streets and public buildings. Grady energized progressive thought about the future of the South. Hosts of journalists and writers from Joel Chandler Harris to Ralph McGill and Lilian Smith considered themselves in the Grady tradition. Grady's legacy is also segregation, and this book is filled with the horrors of that system from the Supreme Court's Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896 to Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, the latter taking the South fully fifty years to implement"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g pt. 3 $t Legacy. $g pt. 2 $t The New South -- $g pt. 3 $t Legacy. 600 10 $a Grady, Henry Woodfin, $d 1850-1889. 600 10 $a Grady, Henry Woodfin, $d 1850-1889 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Sherman, William T. $q (William Tecumseh), $d 1820-1891. 600 17 $a Grady, Henry Woodfin, $d 1850-1889. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00012632 600 17 $a Sherman, William T. $q (William Tecumseh), $d 1820-1891. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00049712 650 0 $a Journalists $z Georgia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Agriculture $z Georgia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Urbanization $z Georgia $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $z Georgia $x History. 651 0 $a Atlanta (Ga.) $x History. 651 0 $a Georgia $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Intellectual life. 650 7 $a Agriculture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801355 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Urbanization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162722 651 7 $a Georgia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204622 651 7 $a Georgia $z Atlanta. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204627 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=850E85448FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
