TEDx Georgia SouthwesternU

TEDx Georgia SouthwesternU TEDxGeorgiaSouthwesternU is an independently organized TED event. What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBoise, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBoise event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx

events, including ours, are self-organized. What is TED? TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 32 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert and Sir Richard Branson.

“In small towns like Americus, your investment for the next four years could literally change the next four generations.”

John Schroeder explains why small towns like Americus offer a unique “fast pass” to impact, where individual voices can shape generations. Drawing from his experience as a podcaster, pastor, and newcomer to Americus, he challenges people to take risks, invest locally, and commit to staying and building a thriving community.

“It's important that we keep that spirit alive and keep that movement alive… pass the lessons on to [the next generation] so they'll be the leaders of the future.”

Sam Mahone reflects on his roots in Americus and his work preserving the history of the local civil rights movement. He describes the ongoing effort to restore the former Americus Colored Hospital into a Civil Rights and Cultural Center that will serve, educate, and inspire future generations. His message centers on legacy, community, and keeping the spirit of the movement alive.
