On April 17, 2015, a protest group, which included Eric Sheppard, walked on the American Flag in the front of Odum Library at Valdosta State University. This was in an effort to protest racism in our country. Shortly after, a local veteran, Michelle Manhart, was detained for taking the flag from the protest group in what was her attempt to be able to dispose of the ripped flag properly. She was not charged but was banned from VSU in the future (ValdostaDailyTimes). I could not believe what I was hearing or seeing on the news so close to home. A Valdosta State student was purposefully walking on the flag. I understand that they tried to show their frustration and protest against something they believe in, but handling it a different way outcomes…

On my sixteenth birthday, I realized how fleeting all of the things I thought were permanent could be. I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to be living in Valdosta, Georgia up until college, which was neither good nor bad. I didn’t want to stay in Valdosta until leaving became a real possibility. Early in the first semester of my sophomore year of high school my mom broke the news to me. My mom came and sat on my bed with me after I got home from school. I remember how surprised I was to…

Diverse and vibrant, the city of Valdosta is a vivid example of authentic southern culture. Traditional values like honor, hospitality, and personal independence meld in perfect harmony with the pluralism encouraged by a modern college town. While some aspects of historically southern culture will likely never be destroyed, the very nature of culture is not static, but fluid, and constantly evolving. There are many preconceptions about southerners, but the Valdosta/Lowndes County region has…

I was born in a small town where everyone knew everyone or they knew yours folks, so to go to from little ole Sandersville, Ga to Valdosta, Ga was a big jump for me. Valdosta was supposed to have so much in store for me but turns out it was a big nothing. I learned so much just from being there, and being involved with this different kind of people was a bit scary it turned into a living hell for me. I thought I would be better off there then in my hometown where I grew up. After my cousin…
