A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C.

I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

Bearing Witness

#44 March 6, 2025BEARING WITNESS... “Instead of asking whether anyone should be locked up or go free, why don’t we think about why we solve problems by repeating the kind of behavior that brought us this problem in the first place?” —Ruth Wilson Gilmore“If it takes a village to raise a child, it certainly takes a movement to undo an occupation.” —Ruth Wilson Gilmore“Racism enshrines the inequalities that capitalism requires.” —Jodi MelamedGood Thursday evening everyone, Ruth Wilson Gilmore is the director of Center for Race, Culture and Politics at CUNY. She is also a co-founder, along with Angela Y. Davis, of Critical Resistance, which almost 30 years ago called for the abolition of the Prison Industrial Complex.
