Koinonia Farm and what grew out of it
1942
Americus, Georgia
A Baptist preacher with a doctorate in Greek started a farm where black and white families worked and ate together, in Georgia, in 1942. The county boycotted them, the Klan shot into the buildings, and their roadside stand was dynamited. They survived by selling pecans by mail with the slogan that you could ship a nut out of Georgia. Habitat for Humanity was founded here in 1976.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
