Dominated by two granite mountains, Arabia and Panola, the area once contained the nation's biggest rock quarrying and chicken grit operations. Over time, these businesses, along with agrarian industries, would weave a uniquely diverse cultural tapestry that centered on family, faith, and fortitude. Some of these stories include civil rights heroes from Lithonia like Lucious Sanders and Marcia Glenn Hunter, Trappist monks in Conyers who marched with Dr. King, quarry workers at Arabia who helped build DeKalb's first public school for Blacks, and a landscape architect who worked at the White House and helped preserve Panola Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Atlanta-based writer and journalist, Jeff Dingler has written for \u003cem\u003eNew York Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ethe Washington Post\u003c\/em\u003e, Newsweek, \u003cem\u003eAtlanta Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eAtlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/em\u003e, and more.
