She’s a good baby. Growing up as the son of two restaurant workers, I assumed I knew how hard it was to raise a family and work in the industry. I had no idea. Being a father really does change everything, especially how much respect I have for my mom and dad (and the patrons of our restaurant who put up with screaming, fussy babies). That’s why my heart broke when I met Erika at Giving Kitchen’s office this fall. Erika’s daughter was born with arthrogryposis, a condition that impacts her ability to walk. After years of complications, it was time for her to undergo a special surgery in Florida. As a single mother and a food service worker, Erika faced a tough decision: making the trip alongside her daughter or staying behind so she could work to pay her bills. Luckily she didn’t have to choose between the two. Erika arrived at Giving Kitchen to pick up the financial support she needed to make sure she could be with her daughter without the fear of eviction or disconnected services. You made that moment possible. Because you believe in Giving Kitchen, because you support Giving Kitchen, because you care for food service workers in crisis, we were able to help Erika and her family through such a difficult decision. And over the past six years, you’ve made that moment happen for over 3,905 people like Erika - and at an increasingly high rate. In the summer of 2018, we celebrated $2 million in financial assistance provided since our founding. In November 2019, we celebrated giving $3 million. We’ve expanded to serve food service workers throughout the state of Georgia, including those who work for food trucks, concessions and catering companies. We anticipate over 3,500 people asking GK for assistance in 2020. We’ve grown, but as we’ve grown, we haven’t lost our heart or our fight for a food service community where crisis is met with compassion and care. Welcome to the fight. You’ve been here for years, and we hope you’ll stand by our side for years to come.

I had an immediate and visceral attraction to seeing people at the top of their craft using their talents and influence to help those in need, and I needed to learn more. I consider myself very fortunate to have a career in a field that I care deeply about that also happens to take good care of me financially. When I use that same lens to consider what my life might have been like if I had instead pursued culinary arts, it immediately illuminates the sacrifices I would have made in order to follow that dream.

COOK Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT From the excavation of Atlanta's first municipal dumps, a collection of the city’s oldest and most popular medicines has been analyzed. The process of identifying and exploring the stories behind the medicinal vessels of the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) archaeological collection has led to several paths of inquiry. One such avenue is a look at local manufacturers, their impact, and their products. Focused on embossed glass bottles from 1860-1920 this thesis investigates the roles of medicinal bottles as symbolic for Atlanta’s Gilded Age. I gathered detailed information on nearly 100 products represented by 222 vessels. These artifacts are derived from three sites unearthed during the MARTA excavations conducted by Georgia State University archaeologists during the late-1970s.

    NEXT STEPS DECATUR ANNUAL REPORT 2019 City of Decatur Clear zone JULY-AUGUST 2019 Volume 30 • Number 1 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, GEORGIA FNew ocuLiving Walls s Mural on North Candler Street n June Living Walls unveiled its newest mural, titled Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers, by artist Yehimi Cambron. The mural is at 302 E. Howard IAve. at the corner of N. Candler and E. Howard. The project is a part of Living Walls’ annual Laura Patria Calle Grant, which supports public art projects on the topics of social equality, immigrants’ rights, feminism, LGBTQ rights and cultural diversity. Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers aims to bring representa- tion to the mothers who crossed borders to give their immigrant children a better life. The mural’s message seeks to inspire a conver- sation about immigrant rights in our country. The artist, Yehimi Cambron, said the project is a culmination of her personal experience as an undocumented immigrant with DACA, of being the daughter of undocumented parents, and of the countless migration stories her students have shared with her in the classroom through their projects. The mural depicts three portraits of immigrant mothers sur- rounded by the imagery of desert plants and their colorful flowers, to represent the contrast of her strength and vulnerability and how they inform one another. The imagery also alludes to her family’s migration journey in an effort to shift an often-criminalized narra- tive into one of empowerment. The monarch butterflies surrounding each mother represent their children. The monarch butterfly is a reflection of the migration journey and a symbol of the resilience of their community.
