The course has been described to be Wild as Colorado and as Warm as Costa Rica. There will be other things to do after your raft trip, such as: biking on 15 miles of Riverwalk, visit Columbus' Coca-Cola Space Science Center, The National Infantry Museum, and Oxbow Meadows. Finish your trip by dining in beautiful Uptown Columbus— it's all right there. Visit more activities in Uptown Columbus.

This course will consist of over 5 class 4+ rapids and 10 smaller rapids. It will be one of the most exciting whitewater rafting rivers in the US! The biggest distinction between this river an other rivers is the volume of water which will be in the river when it is rafted.
For comparison, the rapids on the Ocoee River can reach up to 1,100 cubic feet per second in volume, while the rapids at the Chattahoochee can reach up to 13,000 cubic feet per second in volume. This makes the rapids the largest south of Canada and east of the Colorado!

Excerpt from The Green Hand
See the full film @
In 1932, University of Georgia agriculture professor Paul W. Chapman wrote a novel about the Future Farmers of America (FFA), The Green Hand about how joining FFA improved the life of a young delinquent, Fred Dale. In 1939, Sears-Roebuck & Co. sponsored the filmed version of The Green Hand and shot the film in Athens, Georgia, casting townfolk and university professors as its main characters. The main character, Fred Dale, is played by UGA sophomore Alpha Fowler, Jr., the son of a state legislator. A big man on campus in the 1940s, Fowler, Jr. went on to his own career as a state legislator. Other men prominent in Georgia and UGA agriculture appeared in the film (see cast below). Black & White, sound, 29 minutes.
The Athens Banner-Herald newspaper covered the film's premiere and preparations for the several thousand visitors expected in town, as well as coverage after the event, from January 9th through the 14th. Athens merchants gave away free tickets to Saturday screenings. The Friday, January 12 premiere was by invitation. Georgia's governor as well as the founder of the FFA were both in attendance. The premiere was broadcast over WGAU radio. Athens Mayor Bob McWhorter declared January 13, 1940 as Future Farmers of America Day in Athens.
The Media Archives holds two prints of the film, each edited in a slightly different way. One copy was donated to the university by UGA Agriculture professor Frank Flanders. The second copy was donated to the Law Library in 1989 by Isabella E. Shinn, the daughter of Athens attorney Henry Arthur Shinn who plays the prosecuting attorney in the film. That copy was sent to her father from Sears-Roebuck in Atlanta, who got it from the Venard Organization, the producer of the film.
This film is included in Rick Prelinger's The Field Guide to Sponsored Films, published in 2006 by the National Film Preservation Foundation with a grant from the Mellon Foundation. The book can be viewed and ordered from the NFPF website, ww.filmpreservation.org.

Chocolate City: A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation’s Capital
In their book, Chocolate City, professors Chris Myers Asch and George Derek Musgrove tell the tumultuous, four-century story of race and democracy in our nation's capital. Washington has often served as a national battleground for contentious issues, including slavery, segregation, civil rights, and the drug war. But, the city is also rich in history of local activism as the citizens struggle to make their voices heard in an undemocratic city where residents lack full political rights. A book signing follows the program.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Wilmington insurrection of 1898, also known as the Wilmington massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington race riot of 1898, occurred in Wilmington, North Carolina on November 10, 1898. It is considered a turning point in post-Reconstruction North Carolina politics. The event initiated an era of more severe racial segregation and effective disenfranchisement of African Americans throughout the South, a shift already underway since passage by Mississippi of a new constitution in 1890, raising barriers to voter registration. Laura Edwards wrote in Democracy Betrayed (2000): What happened in Wilmington became an affirmation of white supremacy not just in that one city, but in the South and in the nation as a whole, as it affirmed that invoking whiteness eclipsed the legal citizenship, individual rights, and equal protection under the law of blacks.It was originally described by white Americans as a race riot caused by blacks. However, over time, with more facts publicized, the event has come to be seen as a coup d'état, the
violent overthrow of a duly elected government. Multiple causes — social, political, and economic — brought it about. It is the only such incident in American history.The coup occurred after the state's white Democratic Party conspired and led a mob of 2,000 white men to overthrow the legitimately-elected local Fusionist government. They expelled opposition black and white political leaders from the city, destroyed the property and businesses of black citizens built up since the Civil War, including the only black newspaper in the city, and killed an estimated 60 to more than 300 people.
