Old South
Fraternities, Race & Reconciliation in a Southern Town
In Athens, Georgia, a college fraternity traditionally known to fly the Confederate flag moves to a historically black neighborhood and establishes their presence by staging an antebellum style parade. What starts with a neighborhood struggle over cultural legacies in the South, the opening of a community garden becomes a grounds for understanding, as well as a physical and emotional space for healing, offering a sense of possibility and hope for the future.
OLD SOUTH provides a window into the underlying dynamics of race relations that influence so many American communities.
