By John A. Tures, Professor of Political Science, LaGrange College On August 17, 1915, Leo Frank was hung from an oak tree in Marietta after having been dragged from a Georgia jail. Most believe now that Frank was not guilty of murdering Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old killed where Frank worked, on April 26, 1913. Subsequent Georgia governors have commuted, even pardoned Frank. But Cobb County decided more needed to be done. In 2008, a marker was placed to document the awful events of that August. And in 2018, a new marker was placed in a new spot in Cobb County. The Atlanta Anti-Defamation League stated “It was also announced that the site has been approved for the first-ever National Anti-Lynching Memorial in the country. This memorial footstone will be dedicated next August on the anniversary of the Frank lynching.” Should lynching memorials be made? It’s a controversial topic in this country, especially in the South where most of these events took place. Opponents claim that placing such signs would be honoring murders, and could stir up trouble, bringing up the past. Supporters say that the truth about such awful events need to be retold, so they are never repeated again.

Photo provided by Rickey Oglesby by Arielle Robinson As part of our election coverage, the Cobb County Courier has sent a similar Q&A to each Smyrna City Council candidate who is running in a contested race and has responded to us. Today’s focus is on private banker Rickey Oglesby, the only candidate for Ward 7. Because he is the only candidate, he is not running in a contested race, but since he is not an incumbent the Courier reached out for an interview. Councilwoman Kathy Young currently represents Ward 7 and will not run this November. Young was appointed in June by the city council to serve out the rest of former Councilman Lewis Wheaton’s term. Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 7. Visit Smyrna’s website to learn more about early voting, voting locations, and other voting-related information. Below are our questions, followed by Oglesby’s answers. Talk about your background. Who are you? If retired, what did you do prior to retirement? Oglesby: “Please visit my website at rickey4smryna.com.” What do you do as a day job? “I am a Private Banker-Fiduciary.” How are you involved within the Smyrna community? For example, are there any civic organizations or volunteer activities you

Logo text Apple is breaking up The Afterparty. The tech giant’s Apple TV+ streaming service has canceled The Afterparty after two seasons. The news comes a month and change after the genre-hopping comedic murder mystery finished its second season. Sony Pictures Television, which produces the series, will look to find another home for The Afterparty. The show tells a self-contained story with each season. Created by Chris Miller, who executive produces along with his producing partner Phil Lord, The Afterparty took on a different genre in each episode, depending on which character’s point of view was front and center. Zoë Chao, Sam Richardson and Tiffany Haddish reprised their season one roles in the second installment, which was set at a wedding that’s ruined when the groom turns up dead. The season two cast also features John Cho, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, Anna Konkle, Poppy Liu, Elizabeth Perkins, Jack Whitehall, Zach Woods and Vivian Wu. As with most streaming series, viewing data for The Afterparty isn’t public. The show didn’t crack the top 10 original streaming series in Nielsen’s rankings during its run. Anthony King and Miller served as co-showrunners for season two and executive produce with Lord, via the
