Southwest Georgia is a predominantly African American region of the State. It includes communities like Dawson, Moultrie, Thomasville, Leesburg, and Cuthbert, with Albany being its flagship city. It has an abundance of African American farms, landowners, and a beautiful historically black college. SOWEGA made a name for itself during the Civil Rights Movement as it was thrust into the national spotlight. Although beset by poverty and neglected by those in leadership positions, the area survives and holds its head high.
