Ernest Vandiver, Governor of Georgia
Author: Harold Paulk Henderson
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820330604
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Ernest Vandiver was elected governor of the state of Georgia in 1958 on a platform of fiscal conservatism and steadfast resistance to desegregation. Having vowed to defend Georgia’s segregated social system at all costs, Vandiver nevertheless concluded that the state could not close its schools to avoid desegregation. Because of his decision to reject the path taken by George Wallace in Alabama and Orval Faubus in Arkansas and to protect public education in the state by complying with federal court mandates, Vandiver was denounced by the state’s more vocal proponents of segregation. Using primary sources and extensive interviews with the governor and his contemporaries, Henderson tells the full story of Vandiver’s life as a transitional figure in the political history of the state. He portrays Vandiver as a man cast by circumstances into presiding over a crisis greater than any faced by a Georgia governor since the Civil War. Henderson also notes some of Vandiver’s less recognized accomplishments, including the involvement of state government in furthering tourism, foreign investment, and industry. Ernest Vandiver is here recognized for his significant achievements in guiding the state through a period of rapid transformation.

It Was What It Was: My Memoir
Author: Diane Haley Toney
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387266896
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
It Was What It Was is a charming and heartwarming autobiography of life growing up in the idyllic post-war era of the South during the 1950's. Relating tales of family, love, self-sacrifice, faith, and community, the author recounts life in small-town Lavonia, Georgia during an era of rapid social change. From tales of wartime sacrifice, to the Mayberry-esque quality of small town life, the booming economic growth in the post-war era, the heyday of the teenage social scene in the 1950s, and UFO encounters in the dark secluded countryside, this story has something for everyone. In relating her childhood experiences and teenage years during and after the conclusion of World War II, and ending with her professional contributions in public education, Mrs. Toney's life story is overlaid and interwoven with the history of the small southern town of Lavonia. In doing so, her story is Lavonia's story. Beautifully written and conveyed with warmth and much humor, this biography of times gone by is not to be missed!
