Elbert County, Georgia

From Elbert Colored High School to Blackwell Memorial Cultural Center, this book brings to life Elbert County's African American history.
Elbert County, the granite capital of the world, is nestled in the northeast corner of Georgia, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The educational and political journey of many African Americans in this county began at Elbert Colored High School. African Americans in Elbert County helped shape their community and their country through sheer determination and faith, in the face of slavery and laws biased against them.
