A Forgotten Jewish Connection to Georgia's History

Passover begins this weekend for Georgia Jews. And that opens the door to something you probably don't know about Georgia history. This week, Scott's speaking to Lance Toland, the executive producer of the Flames of Freedom Podcast project. Hear how Jewish refugees seeking liberty in the American South wound up changing the course of history. Dr. Samuel Nunez offers James Oglethorpe a way to save the new colony of Georgia from an epidemic of Yellow Fever. The Flames of Freedom Podcast has been nominated for an international Webby Award in the history category; voting continues through April 12.
