Georgia NOW News for Monday May 25, 2026

On this Memorial Day edition of Georgia NOW News, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to the nation and highlight ceremonies taking place across Georgia, from Marietta National Cemetery to Andersonville and communities throughout the state. Then, we look at how Goodwill of North Georgia is helping thousands of people build new careers through trade certification programs, including formerly incarcerated Georgians seeking a fresh start and stable employment. Plus, renowned Gullah Geechee Chef Carlos Brown brings the flavors and traditions of his heritage to McDonough with a new restaurant, while Atlanta-area innovators explore how artificial intelligence could help meet the demands of the region’s rapid growth. And Georgia environmental groups take the EPA to court, arguing the agency is failing to enforce key clean air standards that protect public health. 🎧 Tune in 24/7 to Georgia NOW.
