DOCUMENTARY 


A lot of Atlanta’s most iconic buildings in its storied skyline have one thing in common - Herman J. Russell built them. A self-made business, community and civic leader, Russell was born in the Jim Crow era, and yet he built one of the oldest and largest black-owned construction and real estate firms in the country.

This hour-long TV documentary takes us to Atlanta, Georgia, cradle of the Civil Rights Movement, in the critical decade of the 1960s.  Mayor Allen was the only white elected official in the South to support the Civil Rights Act.  Along with the city's African American intelligensia and clergy and key members of the mostly white business community, Ivan led Atlanta down a different road than any other Southern city.

Between 1948 and 1961, 65 percent of Jewish students at Emory University’s former dental school were targets of discrimination. Despite sound academic achievements and excellent skills, they were given failing grades, made to repeat a year, even told to leave the school. A half century later, S. Perry Brickman—one of those former dental students—brought this injustice to light by organizing the production of a documentary film, From Silence to Recognition: Confronting Discrimination in Emory’s Dental School History, which premiered at Emory in October 2012.

The Atlanta Legal Aid Society is one of Atlanta's finest, most venerated institutions.  In 2011, we completed a public television documentary on the society, whose work seeks nothing less than our country's highest ideal - equality under the law.

Before he passed away in 2012, we interviewed legendary Atlanta sportswriter Furman Bisher about his early-career interview with Shoeless Joe Jackson, who was famously banned for life from Major League Baseball following the 1919 "Black Sox Scandal."

Furman always maintained that Shoeless Joe was innocent of throwing the series, and with MLB's recent announcement reinstating Shoeless Joe's eligibility for the Hall of Fame, Mr. Bisher viewpoint was finally vindicated.
