This week’s mini episode is about the history of Georgia’s white-only primary. White primaries were primary elections held in the South in which only white voters could participate and they were established by the Democratic Party and/or state legislatures in South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Georgia. Atlanta first established their white primary in 1892, and by 1900 almost every city in the state had followed their lead.
