Lake Lanier is a Georgia landmark, but before it became part of the state's landscape there was the town of Oscarville.
It was formed in the late 1800s during the Reconstruction era. Georgia history teacher Lisa Crosby said Oscarville was a thriving Black community full of carpenters, blacksmiths, and bricklayers, with farming as the top trade: www.11alive.com/article/news/...

They are embarrassed about this. But they are not embarrassed to over sensationalize anything we do. If we rob a store they want to act like we are the worst. They have stolen this whole land. ..but they don't want to talk about that. Because stealing a land, genocide, and rape is a small crime compared to a business being burned down or being robbed. They will not stop talking about anything that happens to them. If somebody steals a stick of gum from them it's a terrible crime. Steal our land, illegally imprison us, run our land with evil Maritime Admiralty law??? Nothing to see here folks.

Forsyth county has been gentrified by the thousands of new homes being built there over the years. The racists are moving farther and farther into the mountains.
