    Extractions: Athens, Rome, and Tifton Historic preservation is good business. Through the use of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's research model, The Economic Benefits of Preserving Community Character: A Practical Methodology , the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has explored the financial impact of preservation on three communities. The project was conducted with the cooperation of the Athens-Clarke County Planning Department with support from the Downtown Development Offices of Rome and Tifton Case studies for the three cities, which examine construction activity in historic districts, property values, and tourism, illustrate how preservation is helping cities and towns throughout Georgia. The project goal was to measure the effects of preservation efforts on three local economies. The National Trust methodology calls for analysis of three types of economic activity. Construction and rehabilitation contribute to the economy through the number of projects undertaken and the dollar amount spent on these endeavors. Property tax assessments and sales figures indicate how historic properties values perform over time. Commercial activity reflects the dollars spent in a community, as well as the number of jobs created as a result of preservation tourism. Physical parameters of the study were set by choosing three communities whose economic outcomes which would be representative of many cities and towns throughout the state. Savannah, Macon, and Atlanta were eliminated from the study because of their large size, unique preservation programs, and inclusion in many previous studies. Towns greatly impacted by their proximity to state borders, or with single-industry economies, were similarly discounted.

    Extractions: GEORGIA – A Mini Unit Study This mini unit on GEORGIA uses the cross curricular approach to education. There are several activities from different academics subjects for you to choose from. One of the most important things is to have fun! Georgia is the fourth state in the union. It has come a long way in handling its long term racial problems. Two great leaders contributed much to the integration – the late Martin Luther King Jr., and Andrew Young, Jr., Ambassador to the United Nations in 1977. Being an agrarian state, Georgia is now dominated by service industries (wholesale and retail trade). Farming is still important as it is a leading producer of tobacco, peaches and peanuts. The state’s most famous peanut farmer is Jimmy Carter – former President of the United States. Below are some activities to help you study GEORGIA. You may choose to do all, some, or none of the activities. You can also alter the activities to better suit your individual child’s needs. Some of these activities overlap each other, choose the one you think that you and the children will enjoy most. The main point of this unit is to make learning about GEORGIA and enjoyable for all who are participating. Georgia’s State Flag On a blue field the Georgia flag showcases the state seal, a ribbon expresses Georgia's flag history and the words "In God We Trust". Thirteen stars surrounding the seal denotes Georgia's position as one of the original thirteen colonies. On the seal three pillars supporting an arch represent the three branches of government; legislative, judicial and executive. A man with sword drawn is defending the Constitution, whose principles are wisdom, justice and moderation. The date 1776 represents the signing of the Declaration of Independence. A ribbon displays the thirteen star U.S. flag (1777-1795), Georgia's first flag (1879), Georgia's 1920-1956 flag, Georgia's 1956 flag and the 50 star U.S. flag. Flag adopted January 30, 2001.

    Extractions: William L. Waugh, Jr. and Lloyd G. Nigro Georgia State University Using the fears of workplace violence expressed by public employees as a reference point, this analysis examines the responses of city and county governments in the State of Georgia to the threat of external and internal violence. As a preliminary assessment of the responsiveness of city and county governments to the problem of workplace violence, officials in Georgia local governments with populations of 50,000 or higher were asked about both their perceptions of the threat and the specific actions taken by their governments to address it. While personal concerns and preparations were described, few officials indicated that their governments have formulated policies and implemented programs to address the problem. High percentages of officials, however, indicated that they expect more violence on a scale similar to the Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City and that public employees are at greater risk than private sector employees. Workplace violence is a growing hazard in public and private organizations in the U.S. or, at least, that is the perception of public employers and their employees. While the general perception is that the risk is increasing, the extent of the problem is difficult to gauge

Learning Objectives: Understand the need for surveillance of local government legislation for tobacco Abstract: Problem/Objective: While the coverage of Georgia state laws on tobacco is well known and relatively limited, corresponding laws at the local level have not been studied as a whole. The goal of the Georgia tobacco ordinance study is to complete a survey of city and county ordinances and describe their contents. Methods: All tobacco ordinances enacted by counties or by cities with a population of at least 500 people were collected. A comprehensive instrument was developed to extract the contents of a city or county’s ordinances related to smoke-free indoor air policies, youth access, licensure, advertising, and any restrictions inherent to the ordinance. The unit of analysis is the government, rather than individual ordinances. Results: Of the 159 counties in Georgia, 59 (37%) county governments have tobacco–related ordinances. Of the 532 cities in Georgia, 63 (12%) city governments have tobacco-related ordinances. Ordinances vary widely in scope, from simple proscriptions against smoking in city hall, often with no specific penalties attached, to comprehensive ordinances covering a range of public and private locations.

As the highest navigable point on the Ocmulgee River , Macon was laid out in 1823 and became a major cotton port. Downtown is no longer the commercial center it once was, particularly following the arrival of the huge Macon Mall near the intersection of the two freeways, but there are signs, everywhere, of an imminent urban renaissance. Chief among these is the excellent Georgia Sports Hall of Fame at 301 Cherry St (Mon-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 1-5pm; $6; tel 478/752-1585), a handsome, state-of-the-art facility where you'll find an interactive Paralympics exhibit alongside a celebration of the long-standing football rivalry between the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES STRATEGIES To introduce the importance of the selection of a specific site for the Georgia Capitol, share the information in Teacher Resource 2.1, "The Site of the Atlanta Capitol," with students. Next, show students a transparency of Study Print 2.1, "Photograph of the State Government Complex, 1997." Ask students if they can identify any of the buildings. Teacher Resource 2.2, "Select Capitol Hill Buildings," provides additional information about many of the buildings in the state government complex. Next, distribute Handout 2.2, "Map of the State Government Complex, 1997." Ask students to again identify buildings, this time using the map key to locate buildings in the photograph. Help students orient both the map and the photograph to the north. Determining the west front of the Capitol with its broad plaza is an simple way to position the documents for easy comparison. Explain that cities, like people, change their appearance over time. Sanborn maps can be used to learn interesting information about the past and how places change. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Company sent surveyors throughout Georgia to map cities. These useful maps indicated if buildings were made of wood or brick, and where nearby fire stations and sources of water were located. These maps illustrate each building by shape, location, and purpose. The maps were updated every few years, so a series of these maps shows how cities changed over time.

    Extractions: African Americans have played a vital role in the history and culture of their country since its founding. An important part of the curriculum at the Institute for African American Studies is devoted to creative research on the lives and work of prominent African Americans and to placing them within their cultural context. On this page you will find brief biographical sketches of several key figures in African American history. Benjamin Banneker's Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia Almanack and Epheremis, published during the years 1792-1797. He retired from tobacco farming to concentrate wholly upon his studies. He corresponded with Thomas Jefferson and urged Jefferson to work for the abolition of slavery. Sojourner Truth, a nationally known speaker on human rights for slaves and women, was born Isabella Baumfree, a slave in Hurley, New York, and spoke only Dutch during her childhood. Sold and resold, denied her choice in husband, and treated cruelly by her masters, Truth ran away in 1826, leaving all but one of her children behind. After her freedom was bought for $25, she moved to New York City in 1829 and became a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. In 1853, she helped form a utopian community called "The Kingdom," at Sing Sing, New York, which was soon disbanded following the death and possible murder of its leader. Truth was implicated in the scandal but courageously fought the falsehoods aimed at her. After the death of her son, she took the name Sojourner Truth to signify her new role as traveler telling the truth about slavery. She set out on June 1, 1843, walking for miles in a northeasterly direction with 25 cents in her pocket, and rested only when she found lodging offered by either rich or poor. First she attended religious meetings, then began to hold meetings herself that would bring audience members to tears. As she logged mile after mile, her fame grew and her reputation preceded her. Truth's popularity was enhanced by her biography written by the abolitionist Olive Gilbert, with a preface written by William Lloyd Garrison. In 1864, she was invited to the White House, where President Abraham Lincoln personally received her. Later she served as a counselor for the National Freedman's Relief Association, retiring in 1875 to Battle Creek, Michigan.

Between that time and the modern era, a number of ethnic groups invaded or migrated into the region, merging with numerous indigenous tribes to form the ethnic base of the modern Georgian people. Throughout history the territory comprising the Georgian state varied considerably in size as foreign forces occupied some regions and as centrally ruled federations controlled others" (Unless stated otherwise, the following quotes come from the Library of Congress Country StudyGeorgia).

After the Roman Empire completed its conquest of the Caucasus region in 66 B.C., the kingdom was a Roman client state and ally for some 400 years."
