“The circle was seen as a dangerous for m when it was first introduced in public buildings like the coliseums rather than the rectangle of cathedrals because the people could now see one another and recognize their common desires and oppressions.”

Macon’s MEDICINE
Macon is home to the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, one of the best preserved sites of human habitation that spans back over 17,000 years and the largest archaeological dig in the United States. It is only through the protect and support of landmarks like these can we preserve and continue the medicine, or wisdom, of these cultures.
You can learn more at Visit Macon.
All MEDICINE comes from the cradle of humanity - Africa. Macon is home to the Tubman Museum, a massive space that showcases African and American history and preserves pan-African culture.

“These seven stories, written after their author canoed the Ocmulgee and its tributaries, draw on European-American, Native, and African-American traditions and relationships with the upper river between..Jackson Lake and Macon. Set from the 1810s to the present, the stories follow characters as their inherited or adopted perspectives on the river - and their ignorances of it - are altered by their personal experience.. Each story engages a specific place, among them Pittman's Ferry, the Seven Islands, Smith Shoals, the levee in Macon, and the Ocmulgee Mounds of the Mississippian people."
