Remembering Crawford Square: Savannah, Ga.

Remembering Crawford Square presents a literary mural of Savannah, GA during the Great Depression (1930-1940): Multiportraits of socio-economical African-American portraits; folks, streets, lanes, other places, events, issues, humor, religion, sports, injustices, and racism. It also tells of sex, heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual sex. Visiting Savannah GA in 1945, Nancy Astur said, "Savannah was a beautiful lady with a dirty face."
