The Georgia Humanities Council has awarded a generous grant to historian and author Craig Pascoe for a series of lectures and group presentations called "Georgia in the 20th Century: Looking at the Past and Considering the Future." The events will take place around the state beginning in early 2007.Pascoe is a coeditor, with Karen Trahan Leathem and Andy Ambrose, of THE AMERICAN SOUTH IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

A number of contributors to the book are expected to participate in the events.
