Growing up in Liberty County, Ralph Quarterman was a name people would hear often. He is usually referred to as the charter president of the Liberty County Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the first Black man in the state of Georgia to own and operate a sawmill. However, his legacy extends far beyond those two roles.
New attention has been brought to his name because of a statue being built to honor Ralph Quarterman at the Liberty County Historic Courthouse. Once completed, this will be the first African-American statue on a county courthouse lawn in the state of Georgia, and perhaps the first in the South.

A small group of people gathered at the steps of the Liberty County Justice Center Jan. 16, as the Liberty County Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) installed their new officers.
Newly elected Liberty Branch President Eric Hollis said hosting the installation ceremony in an open format was important.
“The reason this moment is significant is because it gives the community the opportunity to see the officers and let the citizens of this community know who they can call on,” he said. “These officers have been charged to follow our by-laws and to support and defend equality and justice for everyone in Liberty County.”
