The Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia, displays four murals painted by George Beattie in 1956 and removed from the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s building in Atlanta in 2011. The four oil paintings on Masonite, on exhibition from Aug. 1, 2012, to Jan. 7, 2013, address the state’s history of agriculture and feature American Indians, the founding of Georgia, and the role of enslaved persons in sugar and cotton production.

Dialogues in Diversity photographs
Two images from Friday, October 12, and the discussion of what George Beattie's
agriculture murals portray,
how they portray it, and why they are
controversial. (With Valerie Babb,
director of the Institute for African
American Studies, and yours truly.) The event was co-sponsored by
the Office of Institutional Diversity in
conjunction with our Education
Department.
