John Stith Pemberton (1831-1888) |
Because of my Love for Coca-Cola History, I had to create a Now & Then Fade of Mr. Pemberton. Who stands Proudly Immortalized, in front of the New World of Coca-Cola Museum, at 121 Baker Street, Atlanta, Georgia. Which opened at this location, May 24, 2007.
__________ Some borrowed history about Pemberton-> "A few years before Coca-Cola began its spectacular rise to international acclaim, a drink known as Pemberton's French Wine Coca was extremely popular in Atlanta. Its fame spread throughout the Southeast, and the demand for the tasty beverage was high. In 1885 a reporter from the Atlanta Journal approached the creator of French Wine Coca and asked him for a detailed analysis of the new drink. Pemberton replied, "It is composed of an extract from the leaf of Peruvian Coca, John Stith Pemberton based Pemberton's French Wine Coca," a drink that was very popular in Atlanta, on Vin Mariani, a French beverage formulated by Mariani & Company of Paris. Vin Mariani Bottle the purest wine, and the Kola nut." Please Credit and Read More Here. History of John Stith Pemberton |

Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was an African-American boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi at the age of 14 after reportedly flirting with a white woman. Till was from Chicago, Illinois, visiting his relatives in the Mississippi Delta region when he spoke to 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the married proprietor of a small grocery store. Several nights later, Bryant's husband Roy and his half-brother J. W. Milam arrived at Till's great-uncle's house where they took Till, transported him to a barn, beat him and gouged out one of his eyes, before shooting him through the head and disposing of his body in the Tallahatchie River, weighting it with a 70-pound (32 kg) cotton gin fan tied around his neck with barbed wire. His body was discovered and retrieved from the river three days later.
Till was returned to Chicago and his mother, who had raised him mostly by herself, insisted on a public funeral service with an open casket to show the world the brutality of the killing. Tens of thousands attended his funeral or viewed his casket and images of his mutilated body were published in black magazines and newspapers, rallying popular black support and white sympathy across the U.S. Intense scrutiny was brought to bear on the condition of black civil rights in Mississippi, with newspapers around the country critical of the state. Although initially local newspapers and law enforcement officials decried the violence against Till and called for justice, they soon began responding to national criticism by defending Mississippians, which eventually transformed into support for the killers. The trial attracted a vast amount of press attention. Bryant and Milam were acquitted of Till's kidnapping and murder, but months later, protected against double jeopardy, they admitted to killing him in a magazine interview. Till's murder is noted as a pivotal event motivating the African-American Civil Rights Movement.

Early 1900s era. Click on image to see a Now & Then Fade
Taking us for a faded trip back, to the early part of the 20th century. As we see a delivery of Coca-Cola to the Georgia State Fair. (1886-1969) Of course, Coca Cola with a Flair.
As more history is gained about this moment captured, we'll add it at the source link below, where you'll find many other Coca-Cola Fades.
For history of the Fair, we borrowed some to share;
"The Georgia State Fair began under the aegis of the Southern Central (later Georgia State) Agricultural Society in 1846 at Stone Mountain, later moving to Atlanta and Macon. After disruptions of the Civil War and its aftermath, the fair settled permanently in Macon's Central City Park in 1871, where it has continued a long and successful history up to the present. The Macon Chamber of Commerce purchased the Georgia State Fair in 1940 and conveyed ownership to the Exchange Club in 1982. The Exchange Club operated the fair from 1942 to the present."

A bit more history borrowed to share -
"In 1826, Dr. Ambrose Baber led a movement to reserve acreage along the Ocmulgee River to build a city park for the health of the community. Formally established in 1828, Central City Park contained a mile-long horse-racing track said to be the finest and handsomest in the country, a bandstand, buildings for exhibitions, and an art gallery. There was an elaborate wooden entrance structure, that burned to the ground in 1913, at which time it was replaced by the current brick structures."
