The more things change

...the more they stay the same. (Proverb noted in A Dictionary of American Proverbs REF PN 6426 D53 1991, pg 91)
To ignore the facts of history is to repeat them. (Proverb noted in A Dictionary of American Proverbs REF PN 6426 D53 1991, pg 302)

Learn from the Baldy Editorial Cartoons, 1946-1982, 1997 (in GALILEO).

The Clifford H. Baldowski Collection at the Richard B. Russell Library contains 6,740 pen and ink drawings and 2,460 velox. The digital database opens with approximately 2,500 cartoons from the collection. Clifford H. Baldowski, known by the pen-name "Baldy," depicted the local, national, and international news of his day in the editorial pages of the Augusta Chronicle, Miami Herald, and Atlanta Constitution. His work is a rich source for those studying political reorganization in Georgia and the growth of Atlanta as well as the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War, the Vietnam conflict, Middle East tensions, and Watergate.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
