Updating Georgia’s redistricting process; Sparta residents in land dispute with rail company; New CEO discusses leading foundation started by Rep. John Lewis
Following a court order, Georgia lawmakers are currently in a special session to redraw the district lines for several state legislature and congressional seats. WABE politics Rahul Bali discusses the latest.
Plus, a hearing is being held to determine if Sandersville Railroad Company can legally condemn property in Sparta, Georgia to build a 4.5-mile rail line. It would reportedly transform parts of the rural and predominately Black neighborhood into a rock quarry and asphalt plant. Rose talks with property owners Janet and Mark Smith, whose descendants purchased 600 acres in the area in 1926. The Smiths discuss what they are doing to protect their land.
Lastly, Detria Austin Everson was recently named the CEO of the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation. The veteran nonprofit leader talks with Rose about her background in philanthropy, commitment to social justice and her top goals as the leader of the foundation.
