From the Smithsonian Natural History Museum: Vaccines and Society
A broadly disseminated COVID-19 vaccine could help world populations reach a level of community immunity that would end the pandemic, but concerns over safety will undoubtedly contribute to some hesitancy to be vaccinated. Part 4 of Vaccines in the Time of COVID-19 will discuss the policy and societal conditions driving vaccine hesitancy.

Several virtual events are scheduled May 9-13 to commemorate and educate about the Augusta Riot. Our own Historian, Dr. John Hayes, will be in one of the segments.
50 years ago this month marks the anniversary of the Augusta Riot. “The Augusta Riot was a collective rebellion of Black citizens and the largest urban uprising in the Deep South during the Civil Rights era. Fueled by long-simmering grievances about racial injustice, it was sparked by white officials’ stonewalling in the face of Black citizens’ demand for answers about the beating death of Black teenager Charles Oatman. … Despite the suppression, the riot fundamentally shook the status quo, galvanizing a new wave of activism that opened economic and political doors for Augusta’s Black citizens"
Augusta University Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
The 1970 Augusta Riot was the largest ‘Deep South’ Black uprising during the Civil Rights era, and therefore also the largest in the state of Georgia. This important historical event left an impact on the community even though it is rarely discussed.
