Alonzo Herndon

Carole Merritt wrote the first biography of the Herndon family, The Herndons: An Atlanta Family (F294 .A853 H476 2002). Who were they? Why should a biography have been written about them?

Are you familiar with Atlanta Life Insurance? This company was founded by Alonzo Herndon in 1905, just 40 years after his emancipation from slavery. Obviously the company has prospered in the 102 years of its existence.

Be inspired by the Herndons, an Atlanta family.
