Book Talk: Weathering Historic Storms: Preservation in Newnan & Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn Historic District
Book Talk with Gene Kansas, Winston Skinner, and Gwendolyn Kuhlmann
Gene Kansas is a historic preservationist and developer who began working on his book after a 2008 tornado ripped through Downtown Atlanta, damaging structures in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood. The storm inspired his work in preservation and also his book Civil Sights: Sweet Auburn, a Journey through Atlanta’s National Treasure. Kansas will be joined by Winston Skinner, a recognized local historican by the Newnan-Coweta Historical Society, and Gwendolyn Kuhlmann of Seasons of Strength project.
