black america series: hall county georgia
Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Northeast Georgia, Hall County and the city of Gainesville have been significantly enriched by the contributions of their African-American residents. Hall County, Georgia is a retrospective photographic album; it is a glimpse of the past, featuring an array of churches, schools, businesses, and outstanding leaders in the African-American community.
