stay out of Forsyth County into early 1970s, except the signs didn’t say “Blacks.”

Today, the county is becoming more diverse and younger white folks are much more liberal and caring about society. Answer to your question is Yes, but not for awhile.

When I was in high school, Gwinnett was pretty much dirt roads. Things are changing and it’s so nice to see. A lot of folks I went to school (rural DeKalb County at the time) with are still ignorant rubes. But surprisingly, several I would have expected otherwise, are Blue.
