Albany

Set along the Flint River in southwest Georgia, Albany is a city whose character is shaped by the river’s course across the Dougherty Plain. It serves as a regional centre for southwest Georgia, with a downtown riverfront and public parks keeping the water close to everyday civic life. Albany also holds an important place in the United States civil-rights story: the Albany Movement of 1961–62 united local activists and national organisers in a campaign against segregation. The Albany Civil Rights Institute explores that chapter, and the city is also the birthplace of musician Ray Charles.
