He's served in many roles at the paper, including as White House correspondent, Rome bureau chief, restaurant critic and opinion writer. His new book, “The Beauty of Dusk,” is about how his life was transformed by a stroke that left him permanently blind in one eye. It is a piercing look at how he gained a new understanding of how to face our own traumas and afflictions. In struggling through the complications of his own loss, Bruni looked to inspiration from his late mother who also dealt with life-changing illness. "She decided that she was going to live as fully and as fearlessly with cancer as possible, because the alternative to that was to cheat herself out of whatever joys were left in the years that were left. That's a much more extreme situation than the one I encountered, but that example of choosing to be as resilient as possible of flexing your strength rather than contemplating your weakness, stretching to the limit of your remaining abilities rather than curtailing everything in your life, that example, that model was so important to me," Bruni said.

It’s been more than 150 years since Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Va., effectively ending the Civil War. But that conflict refuses to rest easily in history. To this day, some argue why the war was fought, while a larger battle rages over how the nation should honor those who led a rebellion against their own country. As a young boy, West Point professor of history Ty Seidule was taught stories about the glorious lost cause of the South. His childhood hero was Robert E. Lee. During a childhood spent in Alexandria, Va., and Walton County, Ga., Seidule writes, he lived in a bubble, unaware of the dark history of the horrific treatment of Black communities.

Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause, Department of Defense representative on Confederate Base Naming Commission Jim Galloway — Former lead political writer, The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionGPB DigitalMonday on Political Rewind: We revisit a conversation with professor, author Ty Seidule. It’s been more than 150 years since Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Va., effectively ending the Civil War. But that conflict refuses to rest easily in history. To this day, some argue why the war was fought, while a larger battle rages over how the nation should honor those who led a rebellion against their own country. As a young boy, West Point professor of history Ty Seidule was taught stories about the glorious lost cause of the South. His childhood hero was Robert E. Lee. During a childhood spent in Alexandria, Va., and Walton County, Ga., Seidule writes, he lived in a bubble, unaware of the dark history of the horrific treatment of Black communities.

DuBois." It is a big-hearted epic leading us through the generational history of an African American family with deep roots in Georgia. Jeffers, a National Book Award-nominated poet, tells the story through rich characters and their family ties; from Creek Indian ancestors, through the wrenching years of slavery and to their eventual emergence as members of the Black professional class. Influential Black intellectual W.E.B. DuBois is a constant presence throughout the novel. Jeffers said she wanted DuBois' love of Southern Black communities to be the glue binding the threads of her story together.  "I wanted that love to be the spine of the novel," Jeffers said, "So that when we move through different, very difficult moments — historical moments — you would always know that we will return to that love." It is a story filled with joy and sorrow, with Georgia at its center. The novel's vivid characters reflect on their ties to the South, with one character noting it is hard to believe one can ache for a place when it hurt you so badly. "I cried when I wrote those words, because I do ache for the South," Jeffers said. "There's a feeling that those of us who grew up in the South have, and we do ache for that place."

Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan were found guilty of murder charges on Wednesday. In February 2020, the three men chased Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, in pickup trucks as he jogged in a Coastal Georgia neighborhood. Travis McMichael shot and killed Arbery during the chase. Bryan filmed the killing on his cellphone. Travis, the shooter, was found guilty on all nine counts. His father, Greg McMichael, was convicted on eight of the nine. Bryan was convicted on six counts.  However, questions linger. This trial may never have happened, were it not for the shocking video that exposed the shooting and the failure of law enforcement to initially hold anyone accountable. Outside the courtroom following the verdict, the Rev. Al Sharpton told a crowd much work was left to be done. So what should we make of the outcome of the trial? Emory University professor Dr. Andra Gillespie said more consideration is needed of subtle examples of racism in society.

Attention is on the jury as it prepares to deliberate on the evidence, but it was one defense lawyer's disparaging description of Arbery's appearance that sparked outrage from his family and many observers. Emory political science professor Dr. Andra Gillespie said the description of Arbery ties into a larger theme seen throughout the trial. "It reinforces this idea that Ahmaud Arbery stood out because people were uncomfortable with the fact that he was a Black man running through this neighborhood," Gillespie said. "And that is the reason why he was targeted in this case in the way that other people aren't. And that's not Arbery's problem. That is the defendant's problem in this particular case. It is our problem as a society that we should be able to allow Black people to go take a jog through a white neighborhood without having to worry about their lives being endangered."

Meanwhile, the effort to create an independent city of Buckhead takes another step forward as state Sen. Brandon Beach filed legislation that, if passed, would give Buckhead residents the right to decide the issue in next November’s election.

William Cope Moyers is the son of journalist and presidential advisor Bill Moyers, and has memories from childhood of Air Force One and the White House. In the early '90s, Moyers followed his father’s path into a promising career at CNN in Atlanta. However, his life began to spiral out of control thanks to a substance addiction to alcohol, crack cocaine and more. In recounting his struggles, Moyer says he hit rock bottom in downtown Atlanta 25 years ago. But Moyers has sought to help others struggling with addiction by telling the story of his road to recovery over the decades. His candid discussion of substance abuse disorder spurred frank dialogue on the stigmatized topic of addiction. Addiction and recovery has been changed by the pandemic. Changes to day-to-day life since the onset of COVID-19 are exacerbating America's addiction problems, Moyer's said. "As we know, too often, people die when they can't get help," Moyers said. "And in the midst of this pandemic, people have been isolated. People have been under stress." New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released this week show a surge in deaths from overdoses in the past year — 100,000 Americans. In Georgia, more than 1,900 people died of drug-related causes in 2020, according to CDC data released in August. That is a 38.8% increase over data from the previous year.

Also, a controversial proposal to increase the size of the Gwinnett County Commission is off the table for now. However, the proposal's author, Republican state Sen. Clint Dixon, says it will be back when the regular session begins in January. Democrats claim Dixon wants to undermine the power of the currently all-Democratic commission by adding members.

A defense attorney in the case received criticism after complaining about the presence of Black pastors, including well-known names like Rev. Al Sharpton, in the courtroom. Emory professor of constitutional law Fred Smith said the attorney's comments are notable because they provide additional framing of the high-profile case within America's ongoing reckoning with racism. "Part of what we're seeing in this particular trial is that the subtext of race — which is often present in the American criminal legal system — the subtext is just the text,” Emory professor Fred Smith said. “There's also, built into that, a broader context in the criminal legal system, where many scholars like Paul Butler and others have written, about how when police see African Americans, they are viewed more as a threat and how that's kind of a thread throughout criminal legal system." Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is scheduled to sign the long-awaited infrastructure bill Monday. Every Republican member of Georgia congressional delegation voted against the measure.

Max Cleland. Cleland served in the army during the Vietnam War, before entering into the state General Assembly and then serving as the head of the Veterans Administration under President Jimmy Carter. Cleland would go on to serve as Georgia's secretary of state and then as a U.S. senator for two terms until 2003. The 79-year-old died last night from heart failure, according to reports. As a reporter, host Bill Nigut covered Cleland closely and said the representative had a remarkable zest for life. "He wore a Mickey Mouse watch everywhere he went and he told people that he wore it because he wanted to remind everyone that he shouldn't take life too seriously," Nigut said. "So he was a remarkable public servant." In redistricting news, Republican legislative leaders are facing pushback from some GOP voters who say they’re being denied the right to elect candidates of their own choice as proposed redistricting maps surface. Some conservative voters south of Atlanta worry that a proposed change could endanger Republican state Rep. Phillip Singleton. His current Coweta district is poised to extend into South Fulton, a Democratic stronghold, in the new maps.  University of Georgia political science professor Dr. Charles Bullock has extensively studied redistricting, and authored a book on the process. He believes that Republicans drawing the new lines are playing a long game. "I think what's driving the Republicans here is when you draw this map, you're not just drawing for 2022 or 2024," Bullock said. "You really are drawing a map you hope is going to work for your party for 10 years. And so you're anticipating what kind of changes may take place. That's hard to do." Meanwhile, new reporting from The New York Times shows Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis is preparing to pursue a special grand jury to determine if former President Donald Trump should face criminal charges for working to convince Georgia GOP officials to overturn the results of the presidential race.

Max Cleland. Cleland served in the army during the Vietnam War, before entering into the state General Assembly and then serving as the head of the Veterans Administration under President Jimmy Carter. Cleland would go on to serve as Georgia's secretary of state and then as a U.S. senator for two terms until 2003. The 79-year-old died last night from heart failure, according to reports. As a reporter, host Bill Nigut covered Cleland closely and said the representative had a remarkable zest for life. "He wore a Mickey Mouse watch everywhere he went and he told people that he wore it because he wanted to remind everyone that he shouldn't take life too seriously," Nigut said. "So he was a remarkable public servant." In redistricting news, Republican legislative leaders are facing pushback from some GOP voters who say they’re being denied the right to elect candidates of their own choice as proposed redistricting maps surface. Some conservative voters south of Atlanta worry that a proposed change could endanger Republican state Rep. Phillip Singleton. His current Coweta district is poised to extend into South Fulton, a Democratic stronghold, in the new maps.  University of Georgia political science professor Dr. Charles Bullock has extensively studied redistricting, and authored a book on the process. He believes that Republicans drawing the new lines are playing a long game. "I think what's driving the Republicans here is when you draw this map, you're not just drawing for 2022 or 2024," Bullock said. "You really are drawing a map you hope is going to work for your party for 10 years. And so you're anticipating what kind of changes may take place. That's hard to do."

Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr have expanded their legal battle against the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. They filed a new lawsuit even as Georgia passed 25,000 deaths from COVID-19. Axios political reporter Emma Hurt pointed out that Kemp's resistance to the vaccine mandate falls in line with his strategy throughout the pandemic, and his opposition to Biden. "He says, 'This is your choice,'" she said. "'You and your doctor should decide. I think it's a good idea, but I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm the government. You decide for yourself.' So it really fits in with that track record. And it also positions Kemp well. As you know, I think we've seen him do this repeatedly, going back to the good politics point, as kind of a foil on the national stage to Biden. We saw it with the voting law. And so it is it does make political sense as well beyond know the legal arguments that they are making." A federal appeals court has temporarily stayed the order calling for companies with more than 100 employees to require vaccines for their workers by early next year. Meanwhile, the state senate is moving quickly to pass new Georgia voting districts. The redistricting committee approved new senate districts on just the third day of the special session. Democrats say GOP legislators aren’t giving them or the public the time needed to weigh in on the new maps.

Gov. Geoff Duncan is viewed as an outsider by many in his own party. The Republican from Alpharetta, Ga., has been at odds with Republican leaders over the rhetoric of former President Donald Trump. Duncan publicly spoke out against the conspiracy theories and lies spread by Trump and his allies in the Republican party following defeats in the 2020 elections. In his new book, GOP 2.0: How the 2020 Election Can Lead to a Better Way Forward for America's Conservative Party, Duncan recalls the journey he took to becoming a pariah within the GOP and urges for a new direction forward for the Republican Party. He argues the Republican party needs to blend conservative policy with empathy and a respectful tone in order to stay relevant in future elections. The harsh, acidic rhetoric of the Trump presidency needs to be left behind. "I don't disagree with a majority of the policies that Donald Trump stood for," Duncan said. "He just literally forgot to remind 350 million Americans about those policies. He just wanted to pick on people for the last six months of this campaign cycle." In addition to the book, Duncan also launched a website for his movement, which he promises will bring "a fresh and reasoned approach to creating Republican majorities." He says his goal is to build enough support among voters and party officials to gain influence in the 2024 election cycle.  "We've got to convince tens of millions of folks that this is the direction, this is the path forward, for the party," he said. "And you know, we're going to take the next three years to do that." With appearances across the nation on his book tour and on cable news, some analysts say Duncan might be attempting to build a national brand that could help him to a presidential bid for office. On whether he would like to see his name considered for a future Republican presidential primary, Duncan said he be honored to be considered.

John Thune from South Dakota, an important figure in the Republican caucus, endorsed the Georgia Republican candidate earlier this week. Meanwhile, what can the important Virginia gubernatorial race tell us about where voters across the country stand in 2021? "Basically, its saying that the Virginia governor's race is nationalized and that local issues matter less," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Greg Bluestein said. "And, frankly, we saw that in the last one or two election cycles in Georgia, where Democrats used to try to run away from the national brand and [then] they embraced it, particularly in Senate races last year."

Although still in an early stage, the map reveals Republicans may target U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath’s 6th District seat for a Republican takeover. Meanwhile, the preliminary lines could strengthen Democratic control of the neighboring 7th District. Also, a new federal effort aims to protect thousands of residents brought to the United States at a young age. The White House released a plan they believe will overcome a federal judge’s ruling that determined the DACA program was created through an illegal process. Without DACA, many residents brought to the U.S. when they were young face the risk of deportation. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is facing fire from both sides of the aisle for what critics say has been the inhumane treatment of Haitian immigrants at the southern border. Thousands of Haitian refugees have sought asylum in the United States over the past several weeks, a situation lawmakers say underlines the need for comprehensive immigration reform. "I've been involved in immigration a long time and we've been seeking a modern 21st-century change to immigration law for 21 years," immigration attorney Chuck Kuck said. "And Congress fiddles while Rome burns. It's just extraordinarily frustrating."

The law, which would effectively outlaw abortion, has yet to go into effect because of a lower court's ruling. Our panel discussed the potential consequences of restrictive abortion law. Georgia's law is one of a number of legislation involving abortion access across the country that have become significant recently. A controversial law in Texas allows U.S. residents to sue anyone who might have helped facilitate an abortion after six weeks. And the Supreme Court will soon consider a Mississippi law drafted specifically to get the court to deliberate on the precedent set by the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. Meanwhile, Gov.

On Sept. 22, 1906, a white mob began a four-day rampage through Black communities in Atlanta. Twenty-five Black residents were murdered, hundreds more were terrorized, and buildings and businesses were destroyed. The mob's anger was stoked by segregationist politicians and sensationalist reporting from the city's two major newspapers at the time, The Atlanta Constitution and The Atlanta Journal. Despite its lasting damage, the Atlanta Race Massacre was largely ignored by city officials and many historians. It was not until 2006 that the city publicly recognized the event. The massacre was added to the Georgia's social studies curriculum in 2007. We looked back at this underreported history with the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Ernie Suggs, who recently wrote about the subject to mark its 115th anniversary. He said the violence that day was part of a racist system that held sway across the country in many forms. “These racial acts of violence are not simply isolated expressions of individual expressions of hatred and what have you," Suggs said. "In many cases, they are linked to systems of white supremacy that exist in the South, systems of white supremacy that link together many segments of the white community. And now you have Black people beginning to penetrate into these segments. The response to this Black progress is going to come from many directions.” In the news today, defiance of the ban on mask mandates on Georgia’s public university campuses is picking up steam. More than 50 faculty members at the University of Georgia said they will require students to wear masks in their classes. It is a move that could cost them their jobs.

DuBois is a big-hearted epic leading us through the generational history of an African American family with deep roots in Georgia. Author Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, a National Book Award-nominated poet, tells the story through rich characters and their family ties; from Creek Indian ancestors, through the wrenching years of slavery and to their eventual emergence as members of the Black professional class. Influential Black intellectual W.E.B. DuBois is present throughout the novel. Jeffers said she wanted Dubois' love of Southern Black communities to be the glue binding the threads of her story together.  "I wanted that love to be the spine of the novel," Jeffers said, "So that when we move through different, very difficult moments — historical moments — you would always know that we will return to that love." It is a story filled with joy and sorrow, with Georgia at its center. The novel's vivid characters reflect on their ties to the South, with one character noting it is hard to believe one can ache for a place when it hurt you so badly. "I cried when I wrote those words, because I do ache for the South," Jeffers said. "There's a feeling that those of us who grew up in the South have, and we do ache for that place."

DuBois is a big-hearted epic leading us through the generational history of an African American family with deep roots in Georgia. Author Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, a National Book Award-nominated poet, tells the story through rich characters and their family ties; from Creek Indian ancestors, through the wrenching years of slavery and to their eventual emergence as members of the Black professional class. Influential Black intellectual W.E.B. DuBois is present throughout the novel. Jeffers said she wanted Dubois' love of Southern Black communities to be the glue binding the threads of her story together.  "I wanted that love to be the spine of the novel," Jeffers said, "So that when we move through different, very difficult moments — historical moments — you would always know that we will return to that love." It is a story filled with joy and sorrow, with Georgia at its center. The novel's vivid characters reflect on their ties to the South, with one character noting it is hard to believe one can ache for a place when it hurt you so badly. "I cried when I wrote those words, because I do ache for the South," Jeffers said. "There's a feeling that those of us who grew up in the South have, and we do ache for that place."

The 11th Court of Appeals is scheduled next week to hold a hearing on Georgia's HB 481, which seeks to prevent abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. "What happens in Texas won't stay in Texas," state Rep. Beth Moore (D-Peachtree Corners) said during the virtual press conference of lawmakers and reproductive rights advocates. If the lower court's ruling is upheld, the case could then go before the Supreme Court. There, justices will review the law and the precedent of Roe v. Wade. In other news, Fulton County tapped Former Atlanta City Council President Cathy Woolard as its new elections chair Wednesday evening. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger opposes the appointment because of Woolard's past support for Stacey Abram's Fair Fight Action. He threatened to enact Georgia's new voting law to remove county elections board members in response.   Meanwhile, a rally scheduled in Washington, D.C., on Saturday will bring together support for those imprisoned on charges related to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Does the latest data tell us we’ve reached the peak in new cases of COVID-19 in the state? Are hospitals still facing a care crisis? How safe are people who are fully vaccinated? How long will their protection likely last and when might they need booster shots? If you are vaccinated, why should you wear a mask at the grocery store or a movie theater? The panel also discussed challenges faced by people behind the state's public health efforts. During a recent meeting of the state's public health board, Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey praised the resolve of health care and public health workers in the face of abuse and ridicule. Del Rio said he is noticing low morale among health care workers over a year into the pandemic. "At the beginning of this pandemic, people were applauding and they were cheering for health care workers and bringing food to hospitals," he said. "Right now, there's a protest outside hospitals. There's anger against health care workers. And many people are leaving the health care field as a result of that. And I think we need to really realize that this could have tremendous consequences, not just for COVID, but for many other diseases."

President Joe Biden announced the order last week. It would require federal employees and contractors to be fully vaccinated and create new OSHA guidelines requiring private companies with more than 100 workers to mandate vaccines for employees. The move is sparking a showdown on the political stage. Gov. Brian Kemp joined several other Republican governors in denouncing the order as an example of government overreach. They say they will sue to block the mandate.  Former Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Jim Galloway said Biden might have done Republican governors a favor by giving them an issue to galvanize their voters. "Kemp is now free to express himself as vociferously as he wants to about the overreach of federal power," Galloway said. "But if this mandate works, [Kemp] can sit there and claim victory. So, he gets to have his cake and eat it, too." Meanwhile, faculty and students at more than a dozen Georgia public universities are planning a series of demonstrations protesting the lack of mask mandates on university system campuses. Plus, a new poll suggests that the new Texas abortion law is sparking a backlash among Democratic women voters.

And while the fate of many of the desperate Afghans remains uncertain, some will find their way out of the country and become refugees in the United States and here in Georgia. In response to the crisis, President Joe Biden declared emergency procedures for processing special visas and expanding refugee limits to take in those fleeing Afghanistan. In Georgia, Gov.

We spoke to a member of the Georgia House Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Committee to hear what they learned from listening sessions across Georgia. During those sessions, the public shared how they like to see the process of drawing new maps unfold. Analysis from Georgia News Lab and GPB News showed a majority said they would like to see fairness employed when redrawing legislative districts. Two hundred eighty-nine people participated in 10 hearings across the state. The reapportionment committee held input sessions over the past several months. Benny Hand, a resident of Albany, Ga., said he did not want to see Dougherty County communities split up and their political power diluted. "I hope this process does not lend credence to the often-repeated statement that, 'My vote doesn't count because they will do what they want to do,'" Hand said during the July 27 committee meeting in Albany.

Nationwide, data revealed more Americans are moving into cities and suburbs while a decreasing number identified as white. In Georgia, the census data showed the percentages of Hispanic, Black and Asian-Americans Georgians grew by double digits. Georgians identifying as white stands at 50.1% of the state’s population, down from around 60% in the 2010 census report. The metro Atlanta area saw rapid changes over the past decade. In the 29 counties of the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area, covering much of north Georgia, the percentage of residents identifying as white was around 44% in 2020, down from 51% in the 2010 census. "I think it's the type of trend that will continue to build on itself when communities are now known as being majority-minority and are attracting minority families for the schools, for the lower cost housing and are a diverse community that is successful," Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Patricia Murphy said. A lack of economic opportunity could be one of the major forces pushing Georgians out of rural areas. Former state Attorney General Sam Olens said the movement of people to urban areas has been happening for decades and could be counteracted by state and federal investment in rural infrastructure. "This isn't a brand-new phenomenon," Olens said. "The most promising news for rural Georgia would be the new emphasis on broadband. It is really hard to get the quality businesses they want and to keep the young people they want to retain without broadband." The demographic trends suggest a major shift in political power could be underway. During this fall's consequential redistricting process, lawmakers will redraw the lines of legislative districts in Georgia using the new census data.

Many residents expected a sense of normalcy to return, but now Georgia and the rest of the country is confronted with a new surge, with public health guidance that feels like yesterday’s news. Dean of Georgia State University's Public Health School Dr. Rodney Lyn said vaccinations against COVID-19 remain a clear way of protecting health and curbing the virus' spread. "The most effective strategy is to increase vaccination rates," he said. "We've known for many months that was the priority and that remains the priority." Instances of breakthrough infection of COVID-19, where vaccinated individuals become sick, are being reported. But public health officials, including Emory University professor of epidemiology Dr. Jodie Guest, say the data shows vaccines remain effective at keeping people from getting infected by COVID, and keep symptoms mild if they do get sick. "The breakthrough cases are not common, and so we want to make sure we understand the data," Guest said. "So, out of over 4 million fully vaccinated people in our state, 4,908 have had a breakthrough case since January of 2021. That is 0.12 percent." The news can seem scary and confusing.

Throughout his tour of monuments and landmarks, he offers an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history, and the way we view our own identities. "The thing about symbols and iconography and names is that they're not just symbols," Smith said. "They are reflective of the stories that people tell, and those stories shape the narratives that communities carry. And those narratives shape public policy and public policy shapes the material conditions of people's lives." Smith takes us to Juneteenth celebrations in Galveston, Texas, the old Manhattan slave port of New York City and Confederate army graveyards in Virginia.

Addressing the public yesterday, he warned rates of transmission are rising around Savannah and in neighboring counties. "Chatham County is now considered high and highly likely to increase during the coming days and weeks," the mayor said. Johnson was the first to impose a mask order as the pandemic took hold last year. His action now could spark other communities to assess their own measures for stopping a major coronavirus surge But first, voting rights advocates remain concerned Republican legislators are angling to use Georgia’s new voting law to take over Fulton county’s elections. However, critics of past chaos in the county’s elections say change is needed. Our panel weighed in. Panelists: Rep.

Her newest novel, False Witness, incorporates many timely issues into its narrative. Set in Atlanta during the pandemic, Slaughter tells the story of an up-and-coming attorney in Atlanta balancing single parenting with the responsibilities of a demanding job. Meanwhile, an important court case involving a powerful man accused of sexual assault places this story in the all-too-familiar context of the #MeToo era. Slaughter spoke to us about weaving real-world issues into her narratives. When writing about violence against women, she has sought to depart from troubling patterns in the depiction of misogyny in fiction. "I want to tell women's stories and I don't want to do what I had been seeing in a lot of crime novels, which is sort of sexualizing violence and making it titillating," Slaughter said. "I wanted to write about it in a frank way and to talk about what it leaves behind." Published in 120 countries with more than 40 million copies sold across the globe, Slaughter’s novels include Cop Town and Pretty Girls, The Good Daughter, and Pieces of Her.3b844dc0-ee25-11eb-8854-5506f7c0f42600:50:59Mon, 26 Jul 2021 11:22:04 -0400digital@gpb.org (GPB Digital)noMonday on Political Rewind: We were joined by New York Times and internationally bestselling author Karin Slaughter.

MLB moved the game in response to the state's new election law, which league officials insist discriminates against minority voters. Gov. Brian Kemp is showcasing the move in his kickoff for reelection, calling it a damaging example of “cancel culture.” Meanwhile, research by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and GPB News suggests that the limited availability of ballot drop boxes written into the new law may have a disproportionate impact on likely Democratic voters.

MLB moved the game in response to the state's new election law, which league officials insist discriminates against minority voters. Gov. Brian Kemp is showcasing the move in his kickoff for reelection, calling it a damaging example of “cancel culture.” Meanwhile, research by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and GPB News suggests that the limited availability of ballot drop boxes written into the new law may have a disproportionate impact on likely Democratic voters. Data reveals that in the 2020 election, far more absentee voters in metro Atlanta used drop boxes than in rural communities across the state.

And a new Georgia law opens the door for the state’s political leaders to rake in even more cash. We took a look at the latest fundraising reports and the powerful impact of money in politics with our panel. But first: A GPB News joint report with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution crunched the numbers to see how many Georgians filed their absentee ballots in 2020 — a number that will be heavily affected by the new Georgia election law both codifying drop boxes and constraining their use. Meanwhile, after releasing his first campaign ad late last week, Gov. Brian Kemp traveled to Perry, Ga., over the weekend to launch his bid for reelection in front of an enthusiastic crowd. While Kemp faces an initial primary challenge, he is already taking steady aim at his presumed opponent, prominent Democrat and former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Plus, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary at a party in Plains, Ga., on Saturday. The former president shared his recipe for a successful marriage.

Her visit is designed to encourage younger Georgians to become vaccinated against COVID-19. The Georgia Department of Public Health reports that only 6% of those between ages 12 and 15 have been fully vaccinated, even as the new school year approaches at the end of the summer break. Compared to other states, overall rates of immunization remain low in Georgia. Only 39% of residents are fully vaccinated, according to health department data. Low vaccination rates continue to be a concern as epidemiologists consider how best to contain the virus.  "This is really a pandemic of unvaccinated people," journalist Keren Landmen said. "The more spread we have among unvaccinated people — it's not just that there are consequences for [the unvaccinated], but there are also consequences for the virus. It gets more fit and more able to evade the defenses that vaccinated people have." Overall, the pandemic’s grip on the state has loosened. New cases and hospitalizations have fallen to new lows, and deaths from the virus have become far more rare. As a result, Gov. Brian Kemp lifted the restrictions he had imposed more than a year ago. But because Georgia remains in the lower tier of states for putting shots in arms, especially in rural areas, how should public health officials respond to this latest stage of the pandemic?

The attention came after trustees of the University of North Carolina system initially denied tenure to journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter widely known for her work on the New York Times' 1619 Project. The initiative, led by Hannah-Jones, sought to study the lasting legacy of slavery in U.S. society. On June 30, the university's trustees voted to give tenure to the reporter after mounting pressure to reconsider their decision. In Georgia, Sonny Perdue is seeking the top position over the state's system of public universities and colleges. The former Georgia governor and Agricultural Secretary under President Donald Trump told reporters he would bring "stability" during a period of "cultural revolution" to Georgia's public institutions of higher education. Perdue also said he would like to promote conservative values if chosen to be chancellor. Perdue's comments, and the debate over tenure for Hannah-Jones, is spurring debate about academic freedom over education curriculum. In related news, Perdue finds himself under scrutiny for potential ethics violations. Calls for an ethics investigation from leading Democratic senators could threaten Perdue's chances of gaining the chancellorship. The move comes following an investigation by the Washington Post.

State Republicans have joined a chorus of conservatives voices demanding an end to the inclusion of so-called "critical race theory" in school curriculum, though few of its critics can provide a clear definition of what it is. At issue is how we discuss the atrocities committed through the history of our country. Conservatives say teaching about the lingering tendrils of systemic racism in U.S. society creates a distorted picture of American history. But racial violence, Jim Crow laws and other violent measures against marginalized populations did occur. So, what are the consequences of downplaying or ignoring our past? Stan Deaton, senior historian at the Georgia Historic Society, said part of the debate centers on how society understands its collective history. "For many people, particularly many white Americans, history is something that should celebrate past and should instill patriotism," Deaton said. "That it should be, quite frankly, a happy place; a place where you go and celebrate our American founders or what is unique about the American republic. Obviously, for a lot of Americans, history is not a happy place." Other countries have confronted their own dark histories in different ways. Germany teaches the horror of the Holocaust through expansive monuments and public works of art. South Africa confronted its apartheid through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. What can we learn from those efforts?

Stan Deaton, senior historian at the Georgia Historic Society, said part of the debate centers on how society understands its collective history. "For many people, particularly many white Americans, history is something that should celebrate past and should instill patriotism," Deaton said. "That it should be, quite frankly, a happy place; a place where you go and celebrate our American founders or what is unique about the American republic. Obviously, for a lot of Americans, history is not a happy place." Other countries have confronted their own dark histories in different ways. Germany teaches the horror of the Holocaust through expansive monuments and public works of art. South Africa confronted its apartheid through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. What can we learn from those efforts?

State Republicans have joined a chorus of conservatives voices demanding an end to the inclusion of so-called "critical race theory" in school curriculum, though few of its critics can provide a clear definition of what it is. At issue is how we discuss the atrocities committed through the history of our country.

Compared to its recent iterations, the march was a small event. At the time, homosexuality was illegal under Georgia law and members of the LGTBQ community typically lived lives in the shadows. But on June 27, 1971, they congregated in Atlanta to publicly demand an end to persecution. The years since have seen a slow but dramatic transformation in laws and societal understanding of the LGBTQ community in Georgia and across the country, though obstacles to true equality still remain.

Georgia Tech student Alex Ames told the committee that districts drawn to split up colleges and universities leave students with less of a say over important issues in their communities, such as public safety and development. “What does it teach our students when we draw their maps so that even when they do vote, their voter efficacy is stifled?" she said. "We're teaching young people to distrust and disengage in our democracy by gerrymandering them.” Many of the speakers, which included several elected representatives, urged redistricting leaders to draw political districts without regard to partisan gain. There will be 10 more similar hearings schedules across the state. The next hearing is scheduled for June 28 in Atlanta, with future hearings in Cummings, Dalton, Columbus, Brunswick and other cities. The chair of the Senate Redistricting Committee, Sen. John Kennedy (R-Macon), joined us today to discuss the process. In other news, the initial outcome of two special elections for the state House shows the ongoing partisan divide between metro Atlanta and rural Georgia. While a Democrat and Republican won slots in a runoff for a Cobb County House seat, two Republicans will face off in a runoff for a seat in south Georgia. Panelists: Sen.

In response, millions took to the streets to demand an end to systemic racism, police brutality and injustice in American society. Meanwhile, corporations, universities and other institutions began evaluating internal practices that perpetuate discrimination against people of color in hiring and promotion. But as the summer of 2021 begins, it is time to ask whether there has been real progress in achieving the promises made by big businesses and other institutions. Subha Barry, CEO of Seramount, joined us to discuss her organization's recent report tracking employee perception and corporate action on social justice issues. She said a new generation of white-collar workers are looking for a reflection of their values in their workplace. "Young people are doing something that the generation before them did not do, and they are voting with their feet," Barry said. "They walk out of companies and they go seek other organizations whose values are aligned with theirs." Kyle Stapleton is a co-founder and board member of The A Pledge, a commitment by Atlanta marketing and advertising agencies to match the makeup of their teams to the diversity of Atlanta by 2030. He said the leaders of corporate America, in Atlanta and elsewhere, have an obligation to address workplace inequity. "Frankly, any good leader worth their stripes should see a moment, meet the moment and and do the right thing to be a leader in the moment," Stapleton said.

They said they will use Georgia’s new election laws as proof that congress must pass federal legislation removing barriers they say limit access to the vote for minority communities. Meanwhile, congressional Democrats are facing resistance from Republicans to pass any election reform measure, including a bill named for the late Georgia U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

Going to the movies has long been one of America's favorite pastimes. 2018 saw 1.3 billion movie theater admissions in North America, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners. That was a 5.3% gain in admissions over the previous year. So it should be no surprise that film plays an influential role in animating our national mythology, and shaping our perceptions of what is fair, just and good. As New York Times chief film critic A.O. Scott writes in his recent piece, “What I Learned About Democracy From the Movies,” he received as much of his education about American life from what he saw on the big screen as he did from teachers and parents. But in the past several years, through the 2020 election and its tumultuous aftermath, Scott says he struggled to make sense of the chaos around him. So Scott turned to the movies and wrote about seven films he believes reveal something about our nation’s intrinsic ideals. The list includes "Thelma & Louise," "Sullivan’s Travels," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "A Face In The Crowd." Scott joined us to discuss those films, and what they tell us about the values ingrained in popular culture. Panelists: A.O.

President Joe Biden marked the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in Oklahoma yesterday. It has been a century since white Tulsans attacked Black residents of the Greenwood neighborhood in that city. The type of widespread, targeted violence seen in Tulsa in 1921 was neither unique to that year nor that city. Georgians do not have to look far to find similar events in our own histories. Atlanta, Forsyth County and Augusta were just some of the places that saw eruptions of violence against Black communities in the decades following the Civil War. A nationwide awareness of the events in Tulsa has reinvigorated a conversation on tackling longstanding inequity that reverberates from historic violence against Black communities.

Ralston, a top leader of Republican lawmakers in the General Assembly, said he was interested in the role representing Georgia in the U.S. Congress, but had not made a decision yet. "Decision-making is a process, not an event," the Blue Ridge Republican told us. "And so we're kind of taking a look and seeing how it feels." Ralston has served in the state House of Representatives since 2002 and represents House District 7, which includes Fannin and Gilmer counties and a portion of Dawson County in north Georgia. He is the 73rd Speaker of the Georgia House, a position he has held since 2010. Ralston said he loves his current job working with state lawmakers, but said his concerns about the direction of the country were part of the reason he is interested in a Senate run. "The thought of making a difference and giving the majority back to the Republicans in the Senate would certainly have some appeal," he said. In other news, Gov. Brian Kemp is preparing an executive order to ban school districts from issuing mask mandates. With cases of the coronavirus dropping dramatically, Kemp told reporters he believes the time for mandates is over.

We discussed the possibilities with our panel.  Meanwhile, conservative leaders across Georgia are focusing their attention on a new issue: critical race theory in state curriculum. Gov. Brian Kemp yesterday urged the state board of education to take steps to assure that the “dangerous ideology” will not take root in state standards and curriculum. But is this a problem in search of a solution?  In Cherokee County, the superintendent of schools insisted critical race theory will not be taught in county classrooms as a school board meeting attracted hundreds of people angry about any effort to teach students that there is systemic racism built into American institutions.

While 35 Republican House members voted in favor of the commission, the proposal was opposed by all of the Republicans in Georgia’s congressional delegation. Every member of the GOP delegation also voted against a resolution condemning the violence that took the lives of eight people killed in the massage parlor shooting spree in Atlanta and Cherokee County.

Brian Kemp signed multiple bills in the past several days, including legislation Friday forbidding local governments from making sharp reductions to their police department budgets. The governor used hyper-partisan language in a statement following the signing. Kemp said the new law prevents Democratic officials from passing "radical" defunding measures that would endanger law enforcement officers. House Bill 286 bars cities and municipalities from decreasing police budgets by more than 5 percent. The Republican-led bill was overwhelmingly opposed by Democrats. Critics say the legislation takes important budget decisions out of the hands of local leaders.

Brian Kemp signed multiple bills in the past several days, including legislation Friday forbidding local governments from making sharp reductions to their police department budgets. The governor used hyper-partisan language in a statement following the signing. Kemp said the new law prevents Democratic officials from passing "radical" defunding measures that would endanger law enforcement officers. House Bill 286 bars cities and municipalities from decreasing police budgets by more than 5 percent. The Republican-led bill was overwhelmingly opposed by Democrats. Critics say the legislation takes important budget decisions out of the hands of local leaders.

Washington, and the 4,978 Schools That Changed America. The books tells the story of the unique partnership between business executive Julius Rosenwald and educator and public intellectual Booker T. Washington. Together, the pair would help build enduring institutions of public education in Black communities across the South. Rosenwald grew up in a Jewish family and became the leader of one of the largest retailer in the world at the time, Sears, Roebuck & Company. A friendship and partnership with Booker T. Washington led the pair to raise money and support for the building of almost 5,000 schools for African American children between 1917 and 1937. Of the original 4,978 Rosenwald Schools across fifteen southern and border states, only about 500 survive. While some have been repurposed and a handful remain active schools, many remain unrestored and at risk of collapse. To tell this story visually, Andrew Feiler drove more than twenty-five thousand miles, photographed 105 schools, and interviewed dozens of former students, teachers, preservationists, and community leaders in all fifteen of the program states. Feiler, a fifth-generation Georgian, tells the stories of some of the students who went to the schools, including John Lewis and Maya Angelou.62fc7bf0-a6a7-11eb-ab8c-255452af139f00:50:56Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:52:21 -0400digital@gpb.org (GPB Digital)noMonday on Political Rewind, a conversation with author and photographer Andrew Feiler about his new book, A Better Life for Their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T.

It’s a position that makes him a lightning rod for controversy, such as election measures passed in the just-ended session. But during his tenure, Ralston has also earned praise for his efforts to bat down bills opponents have sometimes called extreme and anti-democratic. As the 2021 session came to an end, he pointed with pride to the overhaul of the citizens arrest law and increasing funds for the state’s mental health budget. He also squashed efforts to expand Georgia gun laws and rejected an effort to punish Delta Air Lines for the company’s condemnation of the election law. It is the election law that will likely be the legacy of the 2021 session. That’s just one of the issues the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Patricia Murphy and I discussed with Ralston.

The killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Atlanta’s Rayshard Brooks at the hands of police served as stark examples of a concerning trend of violence. Now, the killing of Daunte Wright amid the ongoing trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin spurs renewed demands for structural change. In Washington D.C., President Joe Biden declared he wants a federal investigation of Wright's shooting. Meanwhile, Democrats in the U.S. House continued their push for a bill establishing national standards for police conduct.

Brian Kemp faces more criticism from former President Donald Trump. Trump blasted Georgia's governor again over the weekend. During a GOP donor event in Florida, Trump again accused Kemp of failing to root out unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. The criticism comes as Kemp manages fallout from Georgia's controversial new election law, which has brought national attention to the state. With a reelection campaign looming on the horizon, will Kemp’s aggressive push to defend the Republican-crafted changes be enough to return him to the good graces of his party’s base? Also: As we look ahead to the 2022 election, what role will the unfolding battle between GOP leaders and Georgia-based corporations play? Both state and national leaders in the GOP are grappling with sustained pushback from business leaders who criticize the changes in SB 202. Meanwhile, others in Georgia politics consider their futures. An aide to Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says he is unlikely to seek a second-term next year. But former state Rep.

The pandemic dramatically shifted many lives in our state. More than 16,000 Georgian died of coronavirus-related illness, while  around one million people were infected by COVID-19. But can we see the light at the end of the tunnel? Yesterday, eligibility for COVID-19 vaccine appointments were expanded to include a majority of Georgia adults. Residents 55 and older are now eligible for shots, as are adults with a wide range of serious illness. In rural Georgia, meanwhile, the demand for vaccine is more muted. In response, Gov. Brian Kemp says supplies of COVID vaccinations may be shifted to larger population centers to meet demand. Our panel looked at the effectiveness of the state’s vaccine rollout so far. The state's handling of COVID-19 vaccinations received criticism after the Center for Disease Control listed Georgia among the least effective states for getting shots into arms. Health journalist Keren Landman said the faulty rollout is the result of power public health infrastructure. "It's not bad people doing work badly; It is an underfunded system being underfunded," Landman said. "This is what happens when you do not fund an infrastructure for public health. I hope this will provoke Georgia and Georgians and to really prioritize funding a good public health program throughout the state in the future." And finally, our panel discussed the impact a year of social distancing and isolation has had on the mental health of children and adults.

Brian Kemp says supplies of COVID vaccinations may be shifted to larger population centers to meet demand. Our panel looked at the effectiveness of the state’s vaccine rollout so far. The state's handling of COVID-19 vaccinations received criticism after the Center for Disease Control listed Georgia among the least effective states for getting shots into arms. Health journalist Keren Landman said the faulty rollout is the result of power public health infrastructure. "It's not bad people doing work badly; It is an underfunded system being underfunded," Landman said. "This is what happens when you do not fund an infrastructure for public health. I hope this will provoke Georgia and Georgians and to really prioritize funding a good public health program throughout the state in the future." And finally, our panel discussed the impact a year of social distancing and isolation has had on the mental health of children and adults.

Kenny Leon is a Tony award-winning director of Broadway theater, filmmaker and a director of several prime time television shows. His work often illuminates the social issues of our day, and seeks to bring us together across racial, religious and political divides. Leon recently directed a series called Amend, featuring Will Smith, about the transformational power of the 14th Amendment. The show is now streaming on Netflix. For his latest project, Leon directs a biopic on the life of the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. Robin Roberts Presents: The Mahalia Jackson Story follows the rise of one of the most influential voices in American music. The film follows Jackon's life, struggles and achievements through a tumultuous period in U.S. history. Leon said he sought to avoid an unrealistic portrayal of the singer, played by Danielle Brooks, and instead focus on Jackson's resilience in the face of adversity. "The story we're telling is not about a person who is anointed with a great voice and who is perfect," Leon said. "We're telling a story of a woman who was knocked down 10 times but got up 11 times."

Brian Kemp issued guidelines yesterday to expand eligibility for COVID-19 vaccinations to more than three million additional Georgians. The move lowers the age threshold to 55 and covers those with a broad range of health conditions. The announcement follows recent criticism of Georgia's vaccine rollout. A Centers for Disease Control report ranked Georgia poorly among U.S. states for its administration of the COVID-19 vaccinations. Kemp announced his intention to further expand the guidelines to include all Georgia adults by early April. Some public health officials fear infrastructure and supply may not be able to accommodate the increased demand as eligibility continues to expand. Meanwhile, the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package is nearing President Joe Biden’s desk. Republicans argue the massive spending bill is swollen with spending that has little to do with coronavirus-related matters. Democrats are celebrating the measure, describing it as one of the broadest expansions of the social safety net in modern history.

One example is the severe economic and personal toll coronavirus has had on women — both at work and at home. Data that has emerged during the COVID-19 crisis underlines a stark economic reality for women. Since the beginning of the economic shutdown last year, 2.1 million women have dropped out of the workforce in the United States. According to the National Women's Law Center, women accounted for 55% of U.S. jobs lost in the last year. That jeopardizes the economic and societal progress women have made, particularly in the working world, while the pay gap between men and women grows. These hardships are even more pronounced for women of color, who were already disadvantaged compared to their white counterparts long before the pandemic began. Taifa Smith Butler, president of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, said women entrepreneurs face unique challenges in the current economy and receive a disproportionate lack of support from efforts to aid small business. "We have seen entrepreneurs' doors close and not have access to capital or support with the payment protection programs," Butler said. "Looking at women entrepreneurs, will they be able to maintain and sustain their economic growth and their businesses through this pandemic?" Some experts say it could be years before women recover from the economic setbacks dealt by the virus.  These financial and professional hardships are in addition to the mental and emotional stress working mothers, and women overall, face while trying to balance family and home responsibilities with their jobs. Subha Barry, president of Working Mother Media, pointed to the concept of the "third shift," otherwise known as the "mental workload" of managing a household. "Long before this pandemic started, women were actually always working a third shift — and that is whether or not you had children," Barry said. "You still work the third shift. If you think of the first shift as work, second shift as home, the third shift was planning for everything — from the birthday parties to remembering to send out the gifts and cards, to organizing everything, to making sure there's, you know, the grocery lists are made even if somebody else did the grocery shopping.

Experts say the legislation is one of the most significant enhancements of federal voting protections since the 1960s. If enacted, the legislation would weaken state-imposed voter ID laws, mandate automatic voter registration and restore voting enfranchisement to people previously incarcerated in prison. Former Sen. David Perdue used his first interview since leaving office to criticize the bill and its Democratic supporters in Congress. During his appearance on Fox News earlier this week, Perdue again raised unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud and did not offer any evidence to support his claims.

Experts say the legislation is one of the most significant enhancements of federal voting protections since the 1960s. If enacted, the legislation would weaken state-imposed voter ID laws, mandate automatic voter registration and restore voting enfranchisement to people previously incarcerated in prison. Former Sen.

Brian Kemp’s proposal to replace Georgia’s citizen’s arrest law, which became the center of public outrage in the aftermath of the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery. "I am really glad the governor is pushing for this. This is an outdated law that has allowed a lot of racists to take the law into their own hands and arrest black and brown people," Democratic strategist and former candidate for Congress Nabilah Islam said. "Its hard to believe that was a year ago, but we are definitely moving in the right direction." Also, the debate over whether to open Georgia schools for in-person classes continues to cause friction among teachers, parents, school administrators and policy makers. Teachers fear that without access to vaccines, they are vulnerable to COVID-19. Finally, candidates have already begun to line up for the next election cycle.

President Donald Trump had approved Kemp’s plan, which ties expanding Medicaid to a work requirement, but now the Biden administration says the requirement is unfeasible during a pandemic. This leaves the opportunity for Georgia's Democratic party to push again for a full expansion of Medicaid in the state. Former Sen.

Our panel discussed the political motive behind the push to reform the law. State Senator Rev. Kim Jackson said while she was glad to see progress on this issue, there is still a long way to go in reforming criminal justice. “Here's the truth about the situation; this is really low-hanging fruit," Jackson said. "From a progressive standpoint, there is so much more around criminal justice issues that we need to address and actually make real change [to] protect significantly more Black lives than this bill does." Also, the Fulton County district attorney and the Georgia secretary of state's office each launch investigations into the actions of former President Trump. The investigations look into Trump’s alleged efforts to coerce Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Kemp and others to overturn the results of Georgia’s presidential election.

In DeKalb County, local leaders announce plans to protect renters and landlords hit hard by the pandemic.

Michael Thurmond, DeKalb County CEO, joins our panel to discuss the latest. Leaders across the state are also grappling with the vaccine rollout. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control shows distribution hindered by social inequity and limited supply. Meanwhile in the state Capitol, Republican legislators released a list of recommendations they say are designed to assure future elections will be free of fraud. Among the changes, ending automatic registration and removing voting software from Dominion Voting Systems. The proposal also includes a call to take oversight of elections away from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. "This is the theme we have seen in the legislature and in Georgia politics since the early 2000s," Jim Galloway said on the show. "There is a portion of the Republican Party that think voting is so important that you ought to have the energy to meet a certain amount of obstacles to cast the ballot." Democrats plan to fight the recommended changes, which they insist are efforts at voter suppression. But the proposals are also sparking further division among Republicans. "There are probably about two recommendation there I think are a good idea," former Georgia attorney general Sam Olens said. "There is a bunch in the document that me and Mike Thurmond would respond in the same way to.

The measures end no-excuse mail in voting and eliminate ballot drop boxes. In addition, the package calls for an end to automatic voter registration, a tool which has dramatically expanded voter eligibility in the state. The bills are expected to trigger fierce opposition from Democrats. More than 752,000 people who voted in the November general election did not come back to cast ballots in the Jan. 5 runoffs. Data show the most severe drops in voter turnout occurred in conservative-leaning areas of the state, suggesting President Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud may have contributed to a lower Republican voter turnout in an election that ended up sending Democratic Sens.

While the task force numbers indicate a slight improvement in recent weeks, 821 Georgians died from the virus in just the seven-day period ending last Friday. The staggering toll comes even as the state faces a dwindling supply of vaccines as well as confusion about rollout.  However, with his first full day in office, President Joe Biden is kicking his COVID-19 plan into action. The administration has unveiled a new 21-page plan, which leans on executive authority to create a multifaceted national strategy to combat the pandemic. The response is organized around seven main goals, including efforts to protect workers and students, provide reliable information and communication, advance racial equity in the coronavirus response, and deal with supply shortages by ramping up the production of necessities like test kits, protective equipment and, of course, vaccines.  Our panel of experts discuss the state of coronavirus in Georgia and the nation, the challenges ahead, and what Biden's pandemic plans could mean for Georgians — including those now eligible for a vaccine.  Panelists: Dr. Keren Landman — Physician, epidemiologist and journalist Dr. Rodney Lyn — Interim Dean, Georgia State University School of Public Health Scott Trubey — Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution8279e2e0-5c08-11eb-99bd-cb32fc679a9100:51:04Thu, 21 Jan 2021 11:48:38 -0500digital@gpb.org (GPB Digital)noThursday on Political Rewind: Georgia once again finds itself among the worst states in the nation for new COVID-19 cases and deaths, according to state data and a recent report from the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

And while 2020 may be exceptional, author Bruce Feiler argues that life's disruptions are not out-of-the-ordinary events. In fact, he has written a new book which comes along at just the right time. It’s called Life is in the Transitions, which reframes how we approach life’s upheavals — or, as Feiler calls them, “lifequakes.” For this book, he interviewed hundreds of people to learn how they had coped with major life changes, like losing a job, getting a divorce, or any other number of destabilizing events. His book tells their stories and offers us insight into how we can utilize skills and tools to emerge on the other side of a transition.
