As part of Fayette County’s Juneteenth celebrations, a presentation titled “The Reuben Gay Place: A Georgia Black Farmer’s Legacy of Family, Faith, and Fortitude, 1882-1961” will trace the remarkable story of Reuben Gay, a formerly enslaved man who established a significant legacy through his land. The presentation will chart the evolution of the Reuben Gay Place into a vital community center and explore its role in shaping local Black culture.

Time to be announced closer to the event.

This program is supported by a grant from Georgia Humanities.
