A Word from President & CEO Bert Wesley Huffman

Dear Friend,

I hope you’re having a wonderful spring and enjoying the energy of renewal the season brings. At GPB, we’ve had an eventful start to the year, and we’re gearing up for more! I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of unheard stories recently. In public media we often say that our mandate is to “tell untold stories.” But I know stories are being told every day. Sometimes they just don’t have the platform to reach mass audiences. I want GPB to be a place where everyone sees themselves represented – a safe space for us to bring light to those unheard stories. It’s a tall mandate, but we can get there one story at a time.

I say this because I often think so much of GPB’s mission and the work we do in classrooms and communities across the state goes unheard. Recently, we were honored to host the first-ever GPB Day at the Capitol event in mid-February while the Georgia legislature was in session. It was an incredible opportunity to speak with lawmakers from across the state about the many resources GPB offers and how their support has been and continues to be crucial to our success. You can read more about the event in this issue and see photos of our special guest at the event – Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood! The public/private partnership that is GPB is strong thanks to the infrastructure, public safety and educational initiatives paid for by the state through tax dollars, and the generosity of our donors as the core building block of national and local programming.

I’m also particularly proud to talk about this month’s cover story. As America celebrates its 250th birthday, GPB’s original production, Marked! is looking at the complex role Georgia played as the 13th original colony. Did you know that there are more than 2,000 roadside historical markers spread across the state? This unique multiplatform initiative focuses on twelve of those markers by exploring pivotal moments and people in Georgia’s history. I hope you’ll engage with us through our digital and broadcast airings of Marked! as well as the podcast and special extra content you’ll find on our social platforms. We’re excited to hear what you think, and we’d love your recommendations for additional historical markers to cover in the future.

We’re just getting started!

We’re also gearing up for our spring radio drive, and I look forward to hearing from many of you during our time on the air. It’s always heartening when listeners from across the state call in to share the stories of what GPB and public media means to them.

Your comments play a critical role in helping us learn how GPB can best serve you.

Thank you again for your unwavering support of GPB and our vision to “unite and uplift Georgia.” If you’re out and about in midtown Atlanta, please stop by at our GPB booth at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival coming up this month. We’d love to see you there or at one of the many events we host. You can always check out the latest information about where you can find us at gpb.org/community.

Warmly, Bert Wesley Huffman

Takes Georgians on a Journey Through The State’s

Revolutionary History

By Mandy Wilson

A

s America celebrates its 250th birthday this year, GPB is delving into the pivotal role Georgia played during the Revolutionary period with the new series Marked!

Executive produced by Andrew Iden and hosted by Maiya May, Marked! focuses on 12 of the more than two thousand historical markers spread across the state to offer viewers a fresh perspective on the 13th colony’s complex and essential role during the Revolutionary period.

“We wanted to stop, read them and peel back the curtain a bit on what those stories actually are and the people and the places involved,” said Iden.

Iden, May and the production crew crossed the state and talked to writers, educators and historians as they sought to highlight historical markers from Georgia’s mountains to the coast.

“I think the biggest insight that I’d like to add here is that we wanted to present Revolutionary history in a fun, more dynamic way that would appeal not just to the dads that love Ken Burns docs, but also to a younger audience as well,” said May.

Button Gwinnett

Marked! also uses original animation to bring figures to life that helped shape Georgia’s history.

“We have really cool episodes that lean into these kinds of mythical figures in Georgia folklore like Nancy Hart, for example,” said May. “She was a mother, hunter, vigilante, spy. Her claim to fame is this very sly capture of British soldiers who arrived at her cabin demanding her to cater to them, to make a longer story short.

“Button Gwinnett is a bit of a failure in a lot of ways,” added Iden. “Failed merchant, failed landowner, but he still managed to find himself in Philadelphia putting his signature on the Declaration of Independence.”

Nancy Hart

The series also seeks to instill a sense of pride among Georgians by showcasing the state’s contributions to the nation’s founding. “There are so many different examples of dreaming, heroism, bravery and courage that happened right here in Georgia that I think are pretty cool and should give Georgians a sense of pride that we contributed to what America was intended to be,” said May. For a preview of Marked!, visit gpb.org/marked.

The series will premiere with 12 digital episodes starting April 23, followed by six television broadcasts beginning May 18.

Podcast episodes begin May 27.

Marked! host Maiya May.

GPB & PBS KIDS Support Autism Acceptance Month

By Christina Rand

I

t’s always a good time to appreciate and embrace people’s differences, especially in April for Autism Acceptance Month. PBS KIDS supports the autistic community through inclusive programming, featuring characters from Carl the Collector, Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Hero Elementary. These shows focus on representing neurodiversity, providing sensory-friendly content and offering resources to help children on the spectrum and their families feel understood.

Meet Carl and Lotta Carl is an autistic raccoon and the main character of Carl the Collector, a series following Carl’s everyday adventures. He is logical and precise with a lot of energy, yet he often struggles with anxiety in new situations and has difficulty when things don’t go according to plan.

Carl’s friend, Lotta, also has autism. She is a quiet and self-assured artist and musician. She has sensitivities to sounds, smells and food textures that can cause her to have sensory overload.

pbs.org/parents/shows/carl

gpb.org

Meet Julia Julia is a bright and curious four-year-old girl who has autism. She loves to play with her friends on Sesame Street. She’s great at “I Spy” and invented a special game called Boing Boing Tag! Julia’s autism means that she does things a little differently than some people. Her good friend, Abby Cadabby, says she does things in “a Julia sort of way.” Julia enjoys playing on the computer, going to the playground, making art, dancing and singing along to almost any type of music. sesameworkshop.org/topics/autism

Meet Max Max is Teacher Harriet’s nephew in Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and like many kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder, he is sensitive to overwhelming stimuli like loud sounds, bright flashing lights and uncomfortable fabrics. He is more comfortable in quiet environments and he likes weighted blankets. He also likes buses, bugs and numbers. disabilityscoop.com/2026/01/26/daniel-tigers-neighborhood -to-highlight-character-with-autism/31830

Meet AJ AJ is a student at Hero Elementary who is full of passion for all things super: comic books, superheroes and the gadgets they use.

He also happens to be on the autism spectrum. AJ flaps his hands when he’s anxious, wears noise canceling headphones when needed and he does not like it when his clothes get wet. AJ has his quirks, but his friends accept him for who he is. pbs.org/parents/thrive/meet-the-hero-elementary-character-with-autism

Autism can involve differences in communication, sensory processing and social interaction. However, every autistic child has unique strengths, challenges and traits.

By showing diverse autistic characters and modeling acceptance, flexibility and empathy, PBS KIDS helps viewers learn how to support children on the autism spectrum and celebrate the many ways people think, feel and experience the world.

Changing Systems to Build

A Healthier Georgia

O

ur health is shaped by the systems around us—the conditions present where we live, learn, work and play. When those systems work well, communities thrive. When they don’t, the consequences show up in our

health and wellbeing.

Georgia Health Initiative® is working to improve these systems to benefit all in our state.

Who We Are We’re a non-partisan, non-profit private foundation committed to building a Georgia where all have the opportunity to attain their fullest potential for health.

We believe lasting improvements in health and wellbeing require more than individual solutions—they require addressing the root causes that limit opportunity in the first place. That means strengthening the policies, structures and community conditions that serve as the foundation for health across our state.

SPONSORED CONTENT

gpb.org

How We Work We convene partners across sectors to align agendas and foster coordination to bring about lasting systems change. We believe change often starts with shared understanding and grows through shared action. That’s why we invest in non-partisan local health journalism that elevates authentic community voices and brings critical health issues into public conversation. And we create, commission and publish resources that help Georgians understand not only how systems shape health, but also what it takes to improve them.

Recent publications include:

. . . .

Progress Towards Vitality: A 10-Year Retrospective Analysis of Systems Focused Efforts to Improve Maternal Health in Georgia Impact of Federal Policy Changes to Georgia’s Health Care Landscape 2026 Insights on Medicaid in Georgia: Data & Trend Analyses Progress Towards Vitality: A Review of Maternal Health Financing Mechanisms in Georgia

Every resource we publish is designed to inform, spark dialogue and spur change.

Join Us With community at the heart of everything we do, we believe in a Georgia full of possibilities for all. We invite you to explore our work, access our latest resources and learn how you can be part of building a healthier Georgia.

As you’re strolling the park, be sure to stop by the GPB tent to learn about our latest initiatives, meet some of our hosts and share your thoughts on GPB so that we can better serve you.
