[edit] County count

"The original eight counties of Georgia were Burke, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, and Richmond."

Are we missing a county?

Yep. Wilkes County, Georgia was left out.170.140.124.75 18:20, 13 October 2005 (UTC)


- Added wiki links to relevant Native American prehistoric time periods or cultural groups. A more state-specific review of archaeological material should be written at some point. I don't promise to do it, but I may. TriNotch 23:21, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Wilkes county was where my cousin lives!

[edit] Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson

Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most famous people who grew up in Georgia, Martin fought for racial equality, which is why blacks can now go to the same schools as whites, drink from the same fountin, shop in the same stores, and sit in the same theatres. Many other people tried to accomplish such, none were successful until Martin Luther King Jr. came along.

Jackie Robinson was the first black person allowed to play major league baseball, he also was born in Georgia. Today, many black people are involed in major sports such as baseball. Jackie Robinson fought to play in what he loved, baseball. He dreamed of playing in the major leagues, which is exactly what he did.

People like these are leaders, not followers, they've tought us a lesson, be a leader and fight for what you believe in.

    Yes, Martin was the best man that ever fought for civil rights. Have you ever heard of Julian Bond? He was a leader too. Julian Bond
