Helping Georgians Receive Early Diagnosis for Alzheimer’s Is a loved one having trouble remembering things? It’s true that Alzheimer’s disease is a major cause of memory problems, but there are others. Thyroid disorders, sleep apnea, medications, and vascular disorders can all lead to dementia-like symptoms. Some memory problems are reversible, and accurate diagnosis can lead to appropriate support and treatment. The first step is to talk to a Primary Care Provider about your concerns. They may recommend an appointment with Georgia Memory Net for an accelerated, accurate diagnosis.

A Word from President & CEO Bert Wesley Huffman

Dear Friend,

By now, the days are longer and summer is in full swing. I hope many of you are enjoying vacations or using the extra daylight hours and sunny days to take part in outdoor activities that you enjoy, especially in light of this year’s special America 250 celebrations. As you’ll see in this month’s cover story, GPB is offering a full slate of programming and events that commemorate this very special occasion, and we hope you’ll be a part of it with us.

What a year it has been for public media and GPB! As July marks the start of FY27 for GPB, I’d like to offer a most sincere thank you for supporting us over the past year. Last year at this time as I was writing my letter for NEXT, GPB was facing federal funding cuts which ultimately resulted in the loss of $4.3 million – approximately 12 percent of our overall budget. But through it all, you’ve helped to sustain us with donations that directly contribute to the vital work and resources we produce for Georgians of all walks of life. Just as importantly, the vocal support you’ve given us with your comments throughout the year has lifted our spirits and helped us get the word out to others who may be just learning about the important role public media plays in our society.

As a testament to this, GPB recently took home 11 Emmys for programming at the annual ceremony hosted by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeast. Each of these awards recognized excellence in productions that capture unique Georgia stories from various aspects of our culture. You can read more in this issue about the award-winning productions and how you can view them.

We also hope you’ll read the articles about how GPB is spotlighting the achievements of some young Georgians through the America’s Awesome Kids and Farmcraft initiatives.

Once again, thank you for your support of GPB. Whether you’re contributing financially or advocating for us in your personal and professional circles, each of those actions is crucial to our continued service.

Thank you and Happy July 4!

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman

Today in Georgia History Spotlights People and Events in Our State’s History

D

o you want to increase your knowledge of Georgia history? If so, Today in Georgia History segments, produced by GPB in collaboration with the Georgia Historical Society (GHS), to air across GPB’s television and radio networks, make the topic

easily accessible by featuring a person or historical event associated with each day of the year.

In fact, the month of July contains several notable dates. For example, did you know that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), then known as the Communicable Disease Center, began in Atlanta on July 1, 1946, as part of the effort to combat mosquitoes and the spread of malaria?

“Today in Georgia History presented a wonderful opportunity for two statewide organizations to collaborate on something that would greatly impact both institutions and help them fulfill their missions. It has taught and continues to teach an entire generation of Georgians about their history, and I’m very proud to have been a small part of that,” said Dr. Stan Deaton, Senior Historian at the Georgia Historical Society.

Visit todayingeorgiahistory.org for resources including audio and video streaming of the segments, transcripts, teacher tips, curriculum, writing prompts and more.

GBH Kids & PBS KIDS Spotlight America’s Awesome Kids, Featuring a Georgia Standout

By Christina Rand

A

s the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, GBH Kids is celebrating “all kinds of awesome kids, one awesome country” in its new live-action short-form series, America’s Awesome Kids. Created in coordination with 23 partnering PBS

stations across the country, the series is part of PBS’ “PBS KIDS Across America” initiative.

America’s Awesome Kids is a series of 25 short-form, live-action mini-documentaries.

The project leveraged local station networks to find and film real, community-minded children (ages 4 to 8) in their hometowns, showcasing regional diversity and promoting civic engagement. Stories in the series range from caring for llamas in Iowa to Bollywood dancing in Georgia and exploring Cajun culture in Louisiana. Each episode highlights what sets local communities apart and how kids are making a difference.

“America’s Awesome Kids reflects the lives of our young audiences while also introducing them to the wide array of places, cultures, and customs from around the country,” said Dorothea Gillim, executive producer and creative director of GBH Kids. “Working with other PBS stations on this series has been a great opportunity to leverage the strength of public media to capture a uniquely local story for a national audience and build empathy and a sense of connection across the country.”

gpb.org

In Georgia, the series features Sahana, a 7-year-old from Acworth who shares her love of Bollywood dancing and how she helps clean up her community with her Helping Heart Girl Club.

“Working with other PBS stations on this series has been a great opportunity to leverage the strength of public media to capture a uniquely local story for a national audience and build empathy and a sense of connection across the country.”

-Dorothea Gillim, GBH Kids executive producer and creative director America’s Awesome Kids began streaming for free on the PBS KIDS Video App, pbskids.org, on the America’s Awesome Kids YouTube channel and on GBH Kids on May 22. To celebrate the release of the series, GPB joined Sahana, her family and classmates at school to watch Sahana’s episode. The entire school watched it at the same time through the daily newscast in their classrooms.

After the screening, Sahana’s classmates each drew a paper quilt piece highlighting what makes them an awesome kid. The pieces will be joined together to make a community quilt.

GBH Kids is extending the learning beyond the screen, with America’s Awesome Kids educational materials for children, families, and educators being distributed by stations and nonprofits. Children can use a passport and stickers to track their progress through the episodes.

No Packing Required: Travel the World with GPB Passport

By Rachel Buchman

After visiting the USA’s west coast and Puerto Rico, Clunes sets off to the Sea Islands of Georgia in the series’ third episode, discovering how locals aim to keep Gullah and Geechee culture alive in their communities in the face of both shrinking job opportunities and rising tourist interest.
