  • World War II Teacher Notes
    One Stop Shop For Educators 8H9 The student will describe the impact of World War II on Georgia’s development economically, socially, and politically. World war II had a major impact on the state of Georgia. While suffering though the Great Depression, many Georgians watched with interest or fear about the events that were taking place in Europe and Asia. Hitler’s Nazi Party had risen to power during the 1930s and sparked another world war with the 1939 attack on Poland. In the Pacific, Japan was focused on China, though Americans began to realize that they may set their sights on other islands in the Pacific, including American territories. Though America was technically neutral during the first years of the war, Roosevelt was “lending” military aid to Great Britain. America finally officially entered the war with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. As with World War I, once war was declared Georgians sprang into action. Many Georgians fought and died in the Army, Navy, and Marines. The military camps that were in the state became bases due to the large influx of military men and material. Georgia also became more industrialized as the Bell Aircraft company started building bombers and the navy ship yards in Brunswick and Savannah built “Liberty Ships” to aid in the war effort. Toward the end of the war, Georgia began to learn about the Holocaust and the horrific events that took place in Europe. Some of the survivors made their way to the United States, and to Georgia, to live and they told their stories.

    CARTER CENTER NEWS SUMMER 1987 ONE COPENHILL, ATLANTA, GA 50307 Carter Center Dedicated Celebrating the Carter Vision To Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, the dedication of The Carter Center represents an opportunity to keep alive issues of vital importance to America and the world. On October 1, 1986, they reaffirmed their commitment to education, health, the environment, human rights, and the peaceful resolution of conflict. On a sunny fall morning, the Atlanta skyline a backdrop to Presidential protocol and academic pomp and circumstance, President Carter and Mrs. Carter were joined by President Reagan and Mrs. Reagan, Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, Governor Joe Frank Harris, Senator Sam Nunn, Senator (then U.S. Representative) Wyche Fowler, Emory University President James T. Laney, and a crowd of 5,000 for the purpose of dedicating the Carter Center. President Reagan embraced the Center on behalf of the American people. Lauding its founder, former President Carter, for his passion, intellect, and commitment, Reagan thanked him for his contributions to the nation. A series of four interconnected circular buildings adjoining two man-made lakes and a traditional Japanese garden, the Carter Center sits nestled into a hill overlooking downtown Atlanta. It embraces its 30-acre site "in a manner reminiscent of the low, earth-hugging architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright," said the Arizona Republic. "It bespeaks the 'understated elegance' that Carter sought." The buildings house the office of the former President, the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, the Carter Center of Emory University, Global 2000, Inc., the Carter-Menil Human Rights Foundation, and the Task Force for Child Survival.

  • Historical Highlights / Publications
    UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA Brief History The beginnings of public higher education in the State can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40,000 acres of land for the endowment of "a college or seminary of learning." During the following year, a charter was granted for the establishment of Franklin College, now the University of Georgia. The state later provided appropriations for establishing the following branches: School of Technology in Atlanta, 1885 (now Georgia Tech); Georgia Normal and Industrial College for Girls, Milledgeville, 1889 (now Georgia College & State Univ.); Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths, Savannah, 1890 (now Savannah State University); and the South Georgia Normal School, Valdosta, 1906 (now Valdosta State University). Later, the legislature established an agricultural and mechanical arts (A&M) school in each congressional district. In 1929, Governor L. G. Hardman established a committee charged with recommending reorganization of higher education. The most significant idea was the creation of a central governing board. On August 28, 1931, the Reorganization Act was signed which created the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Act called for the governor to appoint eleven members, one from each congressional district, and one at large. In its January 1932 meeting, the Board adopted the following Statement of Plan: It is the conviction of the Board of Regents that the people of Georgia intended to ordain by the Act creating the Board that the twenty-six institutions comprising the University System should no longer function as separate, independent, and unrelated entities competing with each other for patronage and financial support.
