Southern Horror #127

Southern Horror #127 (Georgia, 32 of 43) by Kris Graves A statue of Governor Joseph E. Brown and his wife, erected in 1929, stands at the state capitol in Atlanta, Georgia. Brown served as Governor of Georgia while it was a Confederate State as well as on the Georgia Supreme Court and as a U.S. senator after the war. While this was going on, I was commissioned by National Geographic to photograph memorials, monuments, and sites of the antebellum South. My friend Marshall Scheuttle and I drove approximately 4000 miles across eight southern states making photographs of every site we could find. Some have been removed, most remain in place.
