Summer 2010

Woody Woodall sent this overview of the site.

The summer of 2010 saw improvement in facilities. A loop road was completed to allow folks to get down the hill on a one lane road. The Howerton Media Studio has been completed to create our first studio for visual artists.

Lillian E Smith

If you missed the opportunity this morning to screen two documentary films on Lillian E. Smith, hear from renowned scholars, and tour the writers home place. . . .well, you missed something special! As a reminder, you still have an opportunity to tour the home and view the films tomorrow (Sunday) morning at the Lillian E. Smith Center in Clayton. If you have not had an opportunity to see the special exhibit at the Rabun County Historical Society, please do! And if you have not read the works of Lillian E. Smith, you can find her books at Prater’s Main Street Books and Coffee Nook in Clayton.
I've also set up a blog, with links to The Lillian E. Smith Foundation and Southern Literary Trail : www.lillianesmith.blogspot.com

"I began to see racism and its rituals of segregation as a symptom of a grave illness," Smith wrote. "When people think more of their skin color than of their souls, something has happened to them."
