Christian College of Georgia

The Christian College of Georgia was chartered in Atlanta in 1947, and is registered with the Secretary of State of Georgia. Christian College is authorized by the State of Georgia to grant diplomas, certificates and degrees in religion, religious studies, and in disciplines related to Christian Ministry. Christian College of Georgia is governed by volunteer Board of Trustees selected from the membership of the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ) in Georgia. There are twelve Trustees, constituting three Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), one Licensed, and eight Ordained Ministers. The original agreement for instruction with the University of Georgia was discontinued in 1960, but the College continues the ministries adopted in its founding. Funding of the College program is from gifts from congregations and individuals, and from an Endowment. The Endowment was created and is sustained by gifts from a number of benefactors; the majority of funds held in trust are from the sale of the Athens campus from 1989 to 1997. Offices are located in Statham in property received from the Statham Christian Church upon its closing in 1997. (This historic sanctuary was constructed in 1900, and was restored by the College in 1997.) Central to the College Mission is partnership with the Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Georgia. The College is poised to support ministries throughout the Region in educational efforts which are consistent with this mission. In addition, College representatives consult with congregations and clergy in the Region in the development of educational programs for ministry and leader development.

Moore's Ford lynchings
Moore's Ford lynchings

The Moore's Ford lynchings, also known as the 1946 Georgia lynching, refers to the July 25, 1946, murders of four young African Americans by a mob of white men. Tradition says that the murders were committed on Moore's Ford Bridge in Walton and Oconee counties between Monroe and Watkinsville, but the four victims, two married couples, were shot and killed on a nearby dirt road. The case attracted national attention and catalyzed large protests in Washington, D.C., and New York City. President Harry Truman created the President's Committee on Civil Rights and his administration introduced anti-lynching legislation in Congress, but could not get it past the Southern Democratic bloc. The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated for four months in 1946, the first time it had been ordered to investigate a civil rights case, but it was unable to discover sufficient evidence to bring any charges. In the 1990s publicity about the cold case led to a new investigation. The state of Georgia and the FBI finally closed their cases in December 2017, again unable to prosecute any suspect.The lynching victims – George W. and Mae Murray Dorsey, and Roger and Dorothy Malcom – have been commemorated by a community memorial service in 1998, a state historical marker placed in 1999 at the site of the attack (Georgia's first official recognition of a lynching), and an annual re-enactment held since 2005. According to the 2015 report by the Equal Justice Initiative on lynchings in the Southern United States, Georgia has the second-highest number of documented lynchings.
