Hudson and Mirza Stone Mountain history book

GPC's Southern Academy for Literary Arts & Scholarly Research invites you to the exciting book launch for ATLANTA's STONE MOUNTAIN: A MULTICULTURAL HISTORY (The History Press: Charleston, London) by GPC faculty members—historian Paul Hudson and research librarian and photographer Lora Mirza. It will be held in the Cole Auditorium of GPC's Clarkston Campus on the evening of Wednesday, June 15th, 2011, from 7:30 to 9:00pm.

This beautifully written and visually rich saga of Stone Mountain has been hailed by John Inscoe, editor of the New Georgia Encyclopedia, as “a major contribution to both Atlanta and Georgia history.” Audience members and lovers of Stone Mountain will experience fascinating stories of the ancient and modern peoples who have shaped the mountain into the cherished treasure and destination that it is today.

This program will feature shared stories of adventures and explorations of Atlanta's "Rock of Ages"—part playground and part mystic mountain—ever timely, yet timeless. Paul and Lora will greet guests and sign copies of this new multicultural history at a reception/book signing immediately following the program.

We hope you will join us in celebrating this major achievement in publishing and historiography by our distinguished colleagues and friends, Paul Hudson and Lora Mirza. There will be a buffet at the book signing, and faculty are welcome to invite groups of students to attend this event.

Best,

Liam Madden, Distinguished Chair
