This morning, students from Athens City Schools and McMinn County Schools, Tennessee gathered at Tennessee Wesleyan University to learn more about one of the most significant events in our community’s history, the Battle of Athens.
As Athens commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Athens, students had the opportunity to learn about the events of August 1, 1946, when local citizens stood for change, as well as the lasting reforms that followed.
The commemoration continues this evening with a special presentation by TWU alumnus and author Dr. C. Stephen Byrum.
Dr. Byrum will explore the history of the Battle of Athens, the citizens involved, and its lasting impact on Athens and McMinn County.
Tonight's event begins at 6:00 p.m. at Tennessee Wesleyan University's Townsend Auditorium
The public is invited to attend as our community comes together to remember an important chapter in Athens history and ensure its story continues to be shared with future generations.
