Famous Georgians

 
 

Note: Currently, biographical information about a number of famous Georgians can be found in several different sites within GeorgiaInfo, such as "This Day in Georgia History" and "Georgia African-American Culture and History." In the future, we hope to include in this location--classified by category (e.g., political leaders, civil rights leaders, sports figures, entertainers, etc.)--links to all sites associated with famous people with a tie to Georgia.
