This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the twentieth century, Martha Berry had a vision that a residential school for young men and women with limited educational opportunities would help break the cycle of poverty that pervaded the rural South. She began an educational experiment in northwest Georgia that unfolded during her lifetime and continues into the twenty-first century. This book tells the story of a part of that school--the high school that existed on the Mountain Campus at Berry for more than six decades. For the students who were educated there, the school was transformative. As one alumnus explained, the school had about it an "intangible magic." Join author and Berry Academy alumna Jennifer Dickey as she captures the spirit of that school that today lives on in the "head, heart and hands" of its graduates.

Martha Berry started a revolution that has changed the lives of more young men and women than she ever dreamed possible-and her dreams were big ones. Starting with a tiny log cabin, Martha Berry devoted her life to building a school where underprivileged children could be taught a vocation along with academic studies. From her first contacts with the poor mountain children of Georgia, she faced disapproval from her more wealthy relatives and friends, and she encountered many disappointments. But her determination, coupled with her charm and genius, inspired both the poor and the wealthy to aid in her crusade for a better education for all children. Today Berry College stands as a fitting monument to the vision of this inspired woman, who was honored for her work by three presidents of the United States.
