Project 52 by Donna Mac

Project 52 is a challenge to myself to post at least one picture a week for 2011. Can I do? I think I can!

Week 30 - Gone With The Wind

This is a double week on the same day post but since I'm always behind I'm counting it as two posts for two weeks.  It's my blog so I can do that you know.  Sometimes I eat junk food before and for dinner.  Being a grown up occasionally has it perks.   On this date 63 years ago a southern great, Margaret Mitchell, died after being hit by a cab while crossing the road.  She put the south on the map for something other than loosing the war.  She proved that even though we had accents we were intelligent.  Gone With The Wind may have happened by accident and in haste but it was a turning point for the south.  We had culture and intellect and were more than slavery.  When we knew better we did better.
