Linnentown

The last living descendants of a once-thriving Black neighborhood in Athens, GA come together to fight to preserve the memory of Linnentown and to seek redress for what was lost. Their family homes were razed in a 1960s urban renewal program and they, along with civic-minded neighbors, unite to try to reclaim their forgotten history and forge a path toward reconciliation.

Our World

With action comes change, but the inaction of the people on our planet speaks volumes for climate change. WORLD spotlights stories of climate change and conservation from Southeast Louisiana to Aotearoa, New Zealand to the Arctic Circle. What action can you make today to create positive change for your community and the planet as a whole?
