- **Event Name**: Lunch & Learn: On the Circuit: Networks of Black Entertainment in Georgia
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Bartow History Museum will host a special roundtable program, On the Circuit: Networks of Black Entertainment in Georgia, exploring the history and legacy of the Chitlin Circuit and its vital role in providing safe performance spaces for Black entertainers during segregation.

In 2024, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) received a grant from the Fox Theatre in Atlanta to develop a historic context for the proposed Georgia Chitlin Circuit Heritage Trail. From the 1920s through the mid-1960s, the Chitlin Circuit functioned as a statewide network of tent shows, theaters, and juke joints that allowed Black performers to tour and perform safely across the South.

The panel features experts involved in the project, including Mary Wilson Joseph, Community Outreach Coordinator with DCA, who will introduce the initiative and its goals; Historian Renee’ Donnell of New South Associates, who will share findings from the recently completed study, including research methods and notable Chitlin Circuit venues across Georgia. Graduate Assistant Maya Henry will also participate in the program.

Ms. Joseph will conclude the program by moderating a panel discussion and audience Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and ongoing preservation efforts.
