South Georgia Civil Rights Oral History Collection

Oral histories with members of the Albany Movement's civil rights campaign in southwest Georgia document that time period
as well as the local politics and initiatives in its aftermath.
"In November 1961, residents of Albany, Georgia, launched an ambitious campaign to eliminate segregation in all facets of
local life. The movement captured national attention one month later when local leaders invited Martin Luther King, Jr. to
join the protest. Despite King's involvement, the movement failed to secure concessions from local officials and was consequently
deemed unsuccessful by many observers. Subsequent appraisals, however, have identified the movement as a formative learning
experience for King and other civil rights organizers, and credited it with hastening the ultimate desegregation of Albany's
facilities, which occurred only one year following the movement's conclusion in August 1962." -- Civil Rights Digital Library

Ronny Yeomans Longleaf Pine Tree Catface Section
|
Requires cookie* |
|
Creator: |
Ronny, Yeomans |
|
|
Dates: |
circa 1920 |
|
|
Contents: |
This longleaf pine catface was removed from a farm in Lexsy, Emanuel County, GA started by Jordan Clinton Yeomans.
Pine resin is collected from a tree by removing the surface bark with a series of diagonal hack marks. As the tree releases
resin to seal the de-barked area, the direction of the hack marks channel the resin into a container fixed to the tree. The
term "catface," used to describe a section of a tree that has been used for resin harvesting, derives from the resemblance
of the hack marks to the whiskers of a cat.
