In the 1800s a Black man from Alabama named John Benson escaped the thumb of slavery, traveled across state lines to save his sister, then became a wealthy man who founded a Black community on the same land where he was once a slave.

Atlanta man drowns while swimming at Lake Lanier; 2nd death in past week
The body of an Atlanta man was pulled from Lake Lanier on Saturday in an area where he had been swimming, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Good info. Further proof Rosewood was not a isolated incident.
Fuck that. Ancestors, keep doing your job. White people, keep on swimming
Bro i was gonna say... if they serve as a reservoir for cities to access for water there are gonna be pumps of course they create an undertow.Why is it dangerous to swim in a reservoir?
Lakes and reservoirs might look very similar, but they actually have quite different origins.
A lake can be natural or man made, and is usually a big body of water that supports local animal and plant life.
A reservoir looks very similar, but is nearly always man made.
It is a place to store very large quantities of water for many reasons - for flood control, to act as a water supply or as a source of hydroelectricity.
Reservoirs are very dangerous places to swim and the government advises against people taking a dip in a reservoir. Here's why:
Sadly, some people do not know about the risks of swimming in reservoirs - and there have been serious accidents that have happened at UK reservoirs in the last few years.
- They tend to have very steep sides which makes them incredibly hard to get out of
- They can be very deep, with hidden machinery that can cause injuries
- The surface can look calm but the current might be strong below due to pumps used to move water around
- They tend to be isolated - meaning that they might be far away from emergency services if things go wrong
- The temperature tends to be very low, below 10 degrees Celsius, even on a hot day
So reservoirs should always be avoided if you want to take a dip in open water.
Why you shouldn't go swimming in reservoirs!
Lots of us love a swim in open water - but did you know that not all lakes are safe to swim in? Here's why.www.bbc.co.uk

I normally don’t agree with your post because I wonder about you, but this particular post we are 100% agreement. The state of Georgia seriously need to shut down recreational activities at this lake.
Yo, you may think you are fearless but this lake has a very dirty history, especially with Black people you know the story. When I used to come up from Miami to visit my the older people in my family, prevented me and my cousins from going to this lake and I see why as I got older
You know, that’s a little funny, but still stay away from Lake Lanier
That will never happen. Too many houses on the lake. Too much money out there. Hell there's probably elected or former elected officials with houses on the lake. They all have docks and boats.
Well, I wouldn’t say that too fast because some of the resorts around that lake are starting to limit recreational activities
That was their own choice, right?
No, you sound like don’t like people now you know what’s causing this is been causing this ever since it opened
This happens once in a while, but the current drop right now is dropping that lake really fast. White people still are hardheaded about this damn lake so it is what it is. Our ancestors is not going to be pleased until they do right by them
