With the opening of its new national headquarters in Atlanta, Norfolk Southern has donated a large archive of railway history to the Atlanta History Center. Sheffield Hale sees this important piece of Atlanta history as an opportunity to tell important stories many would be unaware of.

Sheffield Hale offers some words on the new Responding Heroes exhibit at the Atlanta History Center, calling it an event that 'changed the history of this entire country' and 'an extraordinary time for ordinary people who became heroes.' The Center is offering free admission Sunday, Sept. 12 to police, firefighters, first responders and their families. The exhibit will run through Sunday, Oct. 17.

In this article covering recent discussions about the Stone Mountain Memorial, an outline of its history and future is told against the backdrop of past and present discussions on race and equality. “If it wasn’t for Brown v. Board of Education, it would never have been finished,” said Sheffield Hale, president & CEO of the Atlanta History Center, noting that efforts to revive the monument's creation were accelerated during the Civil rights era.
