Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

    OH Vandiver 01C Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr. interviewed by Mel Steeley and Ted Fitzsimmons Date: 6/25/86 Cassettes #439 (56 minutes) COPY OF ORIGINAL INTERVIEW ORIGINAL AT WEST GEORGIA UNIVERSITY Side One Fitzsimmons: Governor, we were talking about the integration of the university, and you said in making a decision you talked to a number of people, and among them Senator [Richard Brevard, Jr.] Russell. What was his advice? Vandiver: Well, I think you probably know what his situation was. He had fought these battles in the Senate for many, many years. And, of course, he knew from his practice of law and his familiarity with the law that I had no choice except to follow the law. That I couldn't, if I had defied the court, then I had no choice except to try to get the state of Georgia to secede again from the Union. And we'd tried that once and hadn't done too well that time. And so he knew that I had no choice. One thing that Betty [Sybil Elizabeth] Vandiver and I have talked about a great deal was her father was a federal judge; he was a judge of the northern district of Georgia. And he never had to deal with this situation. He knew it was probably coming, but he became ill with cancer, and he died in 1955 before this situation ever came before his court. And we've thought about it many times, that the Lord was kind to him. He would have had to rule in such a way that it would have been extremely difficult for him.

Good afternoon, Governor Busbee. Busbee: Good day. Henderson: Thank you very much for granting me this interview. Busbee: I'm delighted. Henderson: You served in the state House of Representatives the last two years of the [Samuel] Marvin Griffin [Sr.] administration and you served all four years of [Samuel] Ernest Vandiver's [Jr.] administration. Let me begin by asking you: what was your impression of the Marvin Griffin administration? Busbee: Well, of course, if you had to choose sides Marvin wouldn't have said that I was in his camp. I will say, however, that I was reminiscing with some people that served in the legislature with me back then and have served since I was governor, and we don't think it's as much fun as it used to be. I think he was a very colorful character and we had a great time, but I think that was former days for Georgia; that's not the era that we're in now. Henderson: Okay. How would you describe the relationship between Lieutenant Governor Vandiver and Governor Marvin Griffin? 2 Busbee: Well, the first real bitter fight that I became engaged in as a legislator was during the time that I was there [and] Marvin Griffin was governor, and we had the rural roads fight.

    Carl Sanders: a Conversation Closed Captioning Script

    CARL SANDERS: A CONVERSATION CLOSED CAPTIONING SCRIPT MUSIC Hoffman: He was Georgia’s new south governor and he guided the state through an era of great change. Carl Edward Sanders, Senior was born in Augusta in 1925. Smart and athletic he won a football scholarship to UGA. When World War II interrupted his studies, Sanders enlisted in the Army Air Force and he trained as a B-17 bomber pilot. After the War he returned to UGA and while in law school there he met Betty Bird Foy of Statesboro. They married in 1947 and settled in Augusta where Sanders entered politics. He was elected to the State House in 1954 and the State Senate in 1956. Only 6 years later at just 37 years old, the charismatic Sanders was elected Governor. A strong and progressive leader, Sanders focused first on education and reforming state government. He also supported civil rights. Sanders political career looked very promising, but a reelection defeat in 1970 turned him from public office to the law and other ventures. He established his own law practice, now a prestigious international law firm and threw himself into business and civil endeavors. Now in his 80’s, Sanders is still active and engaged in the law and business, enjoying life in a modern Georgia, he helped create. MUSIC Hoffman: Governor Sanders I’m so happy you’re here for this Conversation. Please know how much I appreciate your time. You have had a very distinguished career as a politician and as a lawyer and as a business man.

    One Stop Shop For Educators Arnall was born in Newnan, Georgia and received a law degree from the University of Georgia in 1931. Arnall’s career in politics began with his 1932 election to the Georgia General Assembly. Six years later he was appointed as the nation’s youngest attorney general at 31 years of age. In 1942, he defeated Eugene Talmadge, for governor. Arnall’s victory was largely due to the state’s university system losing its accreditation because of Talmadge’s interference (see Teacher Note SS8H9). As governor, Arnall is credited for restoring accreditation to the state’s institutions of higher learning, abolishing the poll tax, lowering the voting age, and establishing a teacher’s retirement system. However, Arnall lost support based on his support of liberal causes and leaders. One example was his acceptance of the Supreme Courts rulings against the white primary. He also lost popularity when he wrote two books that many southerners felt disparaged the South. Due to Georgia law, Arnall could not run for another term in 1947. He played a key role in the “three governor’s controversy” by refusing to give up the governor’s office until the issue was worked out (see Teacher Note SS8H11). Though a strong candidate for Governor in 1966, Arnall lost to segregationist Lester Maddox. He never ran for office again. After this election, Arnall was a successful business man and lawyer until his death.

This activity asks students to paraphrase and condense the main arguments in each of the responses down to one sentence. When completed students should get into small groups of 2-4 and compare their paraphrased sentences.Did they agree upon the main points of each of the original responses? If not, they should work together to further condense their individual sentences into a single group sentence for each response. The activity can conclude with a general classroom discussion about the main arguments in each of the responses and what explains the different ways Georgians responded to the Civil Rights Act.

Emanuel* Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. So it was in 1960 when Elbert Tuttle became the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over most of the Deep South. Part of the genius of the Republic lies in the carefully calibrated structure of the federal courts of appeal. One assumption underlying the structure is that judges from a particular state might bear an allegiance to the interests of that state, which would be reflected in their opinions.

Hall: Good morning. Henderson: Thank you very much for granting me this interview. Hall: Delighted to do so. Henderson: Let me begin by asking you a question: How did you come to know [Samuel] Ernest Vandiver [Jr.]? Henderson: Well, I knew him slightly at the University of Georgia. He was in law school and I was in college, and he was a good friend of a friend of mine, Lee Price, from Swainsboro, Georgia. We were Delts and Ernie was Phi Delta Theta, but they would come to each other's fraternities at different times. Henderson: Now, were you and he at the university at the same time? Hall: Part of the same time. Henderson: Part of the same time? Hall: Probably about two years, I guess. Henderson: How well did you know him while you were at the university? Hall: Not real well, just casually. 2 Henderson: Just casually. When did you come to know him on a more personal basis? Is that some time later? Hall: Yes, that's some time later when he and I are both in the state government. Henderson: I see. He runs for the position of lieutenant governor in 1954.
