African-American cemetery preservation is a crucial aspect of cultural history. Many African-American cemeteries have been neglected, often reflecting broader societal issues related to racial discrimination and erasure. Established shortly after the Civil War, The Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery is a once-prominent burial site for local Black community leaders located in Athens. Despite many efforts to preserve Gospel Pilgrim over the years, it has fallen into a state of disrepair. This course will discuss the history of the Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery, highlighting a few of the fascinating local Black Athenians buried there, and renewed interest in reestablishing trustee ownership.

Awareness is rising within society about climate change and the role of carbon emissions. New regulations may be coming that will require compilation of greenhouse gas emissions by industry, and programs will likely result in carbon emissions trading or perhaps a carbon tax.
