In Columbus it is past time to place a historic marker at a known site that I have written about in the past and whose history has been documented by the late Sam Kaye, Carolyn Kaye, Gary Lancaster and myself.
Sites from African American history are among the 10 'Places in Peril' named this year by the Georgia Trust For Historic Preservation. Mark McDonald, the trust's president and CEO, said that the list is meant to highlight sites around the state that have historic significance, face a real threat, or are representative of broader preservation issues.
