Title A name given to the resource Train Derailment in Sycamore, GA Description An account of the resource From Meagan: A train derailment occurred in Sycamore, GA, this morning around 7:30. Those of us who live close to the tracks actually heard—and some even felt—all of the commotion. We spoke with several people from the city, the police department, and the railroad crew, which was pretty cool to hear their perspective on everything. One neighbor actually witnessed the train derailment and saw the train cars come into his yard! One of the railroad contractor guys we talked to said he was one of five who were supposed to be there to help clean it up. Two cranes were already on site and getting ready to work. As of 10:30 a.m., parts of Mattie Avenue, Railroad Avenue, and Highway 41 were still closed off. All of these photos were taken from the Mattie Avenue side. Fox 31 arrived while we were there, and WALB was on the way.

Title A name given to the resource Transcript of interview of Winfred Rembert Description An account of the resource Turner County Art Council/Ashburn Historic Preservation Commission Oral History Project This oral history captures the life story of artist Winfred Rembert, told in a 2003 phone interview with Shelley Zorn for the Turner County Jail Museum project in Ashburn, Georgia. Rembert recalls his early life in rural Georgia, where he was raised in cotton fields with little access to education. As a teenager, he became involved in civil rights demonstrations. At age 18, after stealing a car during a protest in Americus, he was jailed in Cuthbert. Held in secrecy for two years while the Army listed him as AWOL, he endured harsh treatment, including severe beatings. After fighting back against a deputy, he escaped briefly but was captured. He describes being taken by law enforcement and local citizens to a secluded site prepared with ropes for lynching. There, he was tortured—hung by his feet, cut, and nearly killed—before one man intervened, sparing his life. He was paraded publicly in chains, convicted in a biased trial, and sentenced to 27 years for larceny, escape, and related charges, though he served seven. In prison, he was transferred from Reidsville to Leesburg and eventually to the Turner County Work Camp in Ashburn, where he found comparatively humane treatment. At Ashburn, he learned road construction, reading, and writing, and was eventually made a trustee. Most significantly, he met his future wife there, beginning a relationship that connected him permanently to Ashburn. Throughout the interview, Rembert emphasizes survival, resilience, and the shaping of his later art, which drew directly from these lived experiences of labor, incarceration, racial violence, and community memory.
