Atlanta History Center: Margaret Mitchell House Reopening
Last month, Atlanta History Center reopened the newly renovated and reimagined Margaret Mitchell House with the unveiling of the new exhibit "Telling Stories: Gone With the Wind and American Memory."
It explores the life and times of Margaret Mitchell, her experience in Atlanta, and her research process, helping situate this historical fiction novel in its contemporary context. It showcases the cultural phenomena resulting from the movie’s popularity and the many ways—both shallow and profound—that American culture shifted as a result. Finally, it traces the history behind the story, showing how Gone With the Wind reflected and advanced common historical myths about the causes and consequences of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Center for Civil and Human Rights:
The National Center for Civil and Human Rights is a museum and cultural institution that connects the U.S. Civil Rights Movement to human rights challenges today.
