{"product_id":"atlantas-south-view-cemetery-john-soward-bayne-9781312735293","title":"Atlanta's South-View Cemetery","description":"This is a guidebook to South-View Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia. The cemetery was chartered 21 April 1886 by African-American businessmen, all former slaves, faced with exhaustion of Oakland Cemetery (1850) and desirous of a respectful burial ground. The Watts family has managed the cemetery from its earliest days; the current president is the great-granddaughter of the patriarch, Albert Watts. Notable burials include the parents and grandparents of Martin Luther King, Jr.; John Wesley Dobbs, the \"Mayor of Sweet Auburn\"; and Alonzo Franklin Herndon, who was born a slave, worked as a sharecropper, established a chain of opulent and successful barbershops, then became Atlanta's first black millionaire through the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. Through the lives and accomplishments in death-year order of over 100 people buried at South-View, this book tells the history of African-American Atlanta. Introductory essays are by Traci Rylands and Herman \"Skip\" Mason, Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Soward Bayne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1312735295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781312735293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.29d","brand":"John Soward Bayne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438448128255,"sku":"9781312735293","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3596ee3-ac1d-4b2a-aa89-598a24c073a3.jpg?v=1777171114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atlantas-south-view-cemetery-john-soward-bayne-9781312735293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
