I think the likelihood of that happening is very low but they are trying to do that. Yes, sir. My question is who profited from the construction of the camp . Was their money involved . Competitive bids and all that sort of thing . It was a camp and owned by the federal government as a place for Migrant Workers to come. It was already in the government control.

I still get chills when i see the stage and think about the people who walked across it and performed here. We use it as the community. You can see anything from art house films on the big screen when they bring it down to local talent shows today with our rising stars. It is a beautiful piece of history of macon. Probably one of my favorite parts is if you look at the paintings on the wall, the chain stenciling represents the bondage of slavery but in the end the chains are broken representing the freedom.
