Are you a history buff or a 'murderino' (one who is fascinated by true crime)? Or are you interested in learning more about Atlanta, the "Empire City of the South"? Then, join us for a fascinating talk about several infamous crimes that have happened in Atlanta's history, many of which are unknown or forgotten, given by the host of the Archive Atlanta podcast, Victoria Lemos.
Victoria Lemos is the voice, sweat, and tears behind Archive Atlanta, a weekly history podcast that shares stories of the people, places, and events that have made Atlanta what it is. Born in New York City to immigrant parents, Victoria has called Atlanta home for 14 years. She began as a volunteer tour guide, then became a bicycle tour guide, and now she does private walking tours and independent research for individuals, institutions, and corporations.
Victoria says, "Whether you call it hopeful or naïve, my goal is to share Atlanta's amazing history with the most people possible because you can't care about something you don't know about. In a city that was born from the ashes, we don't prioritize preservation or the past, but together we can change that. I truly believe knowing about the past helps us all be better humans in the present and future."
