The community

I lived in a town called Rawlesville in the 1920's. The town was located near Atlanta, Georgia and mainly made up of blacks! It had just a little more than 20,000 people in it and it also seemed as if everyone knew everyone. People most of the time got along, but you could easily have your reputation shattered by things you do or did. The town was known for there great footbal and basketball programs at Rawlesville High School! Each and every friday night the whole community packed the stadium to cheer the team on and every basketball game home or away, the great community followed.
