Georgia's G. Wayne Clough, First Southerner To Run Smithsonian, Explores 'Things New and Strange'

In 2008, G. Wayne Clough became the 12th secretary of the Smithsonian. The Douglas native and Georgia Tech president emeritus was the first Southerner to hold the position. When Clough retired from his post, he decided to write about his birthplace of South Georgia. At the same time, he dived into the Smithsonian's vast collections, searching for artifacts from the region. He shares what he found in his memoir Things New and Strange: A Southerner's Journey through the Smithsonian Collections.
