Historian, UWG Alumna is Changing How America Sees Black History
How does one define history?
For University of West Georgia alumna Autumn Smith ’21, that isn’t a rhetorical question. The historian has already made an impact preserving, presenting and promoting the untold stories of Black history and culture. There are even three Emmy awards to prove it.
Smith honed her skills for curation as a UWG graduate student taking classes at the Atlanta History Center. The two institutions have a unique partnership that offers students hands-on experience on real-world projects with museum professionals in a state-of-the-art facility.
