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.
