The grand opening of the new exhibit honoring Liberty County-born Susie King Taylor will open on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at the Liberty County Historical Society in Downtown Hinesville. The month of April is significant for the Susie King Taylor Women s Institute and Ecology Center. Annually, we celebrate April 13th as Freedom Day because it is the day that fourteen year old Susie King Taylor escaped from plantation slavery on Isle of Wight (now Midway) in Liberty County, Georgia during the Civil War. She became a nurse and the first federally funded African American teacher in the state of Georgia.

Legacy of Quarterman felt in Liberty

More By allowing ads to appear on this site, you support the local businesses who, in turn, support great journalism. Legacy of Quarterman felt in Liberty 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.
