October 30, 2020 Grave Robbing (Interview w/ Liz Clappin)
In the spirit of Halloween, I interviewed Liz Clappin, friend and host of the podcast Tomb With A View. We talk about the earliest history of body snatching in the United States (riots in NY), through the start of it here in Georgia (Augusta's medical college purchases an enslaved man to do that work) and some incidents of it here in Atlanta and Decatur.

With Election Day under a month away, and the recent 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, there is no better time to discover the history of women's suffrage in Atlanta. Things went a little differently down South, and Georgia women did not vote until 1922, two years after the constitutional amendment.
