The story of Martha Berry and how she brought education to the mountain people of Georgia and beyond is one of the most exciting human documents in America's keeping. Compelled by some inner drive to choose a life of giving, Martha Berry began with three grimy boys and Bible stories on a Sunday afternoon; she died at 75 with a gigantic task still going forward. The Berry schools today need no publicity and their history of ever widening challenges and opportunities makes an amazing and enthralling tale.
