This weekend’s edition brings writing about a wondrous Southerner and natural Southern wonders.

Meet Robert Lee Coleman, a son of Macon, Georgia, and a pioneer of Southern soul and funk music, who vows never to put down his guitar.

Too many Southern children lose their homes because their parents can’t abide their sexual orientation or gender. This week, we get an inside look.

That’s not a statement about the current weather, because it’s gray where we are. It’s about a weekend of love (and, naturally, football).

We discover our family is connected to this other one, and that friend to another one, until we all learn how we are woven into the great sweep of Southern history.

This weekend’s reading plumbs the depths of Southern hearts through fiction and poetry.

We start the year with some new reasons to get excited about Southern rock and roll. One more time.

As we greet 2024, look fondly (but briefly) backward. Then seek your sources of hope, because hope has no end.

Salvation South wishes you peace and a merry whatever you celebrate.
