henry w. grady

Henry W. Grady (1850 1889) was a journalist and orator who did much to help reintegrate the states of the former Confederacy into the union after the American Civil War. Grady was a part owner, an editor, and a reporter for the Atlanta Constitution, then as now a very influential newspaper. He popularized an antithesis between the old South which rested everything on slavery and agriculture, unconscious that these could neither give nor maintain healthy growth, and a new south thrilling with the consciousness of growing power and prosperity. In 1887 he promoted the creation in Atlanta of the Georgia Institute of Technology, a state vocational-education school. Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta is named for him.
