Phase II of the Municipal Slavery Project Now
Available To The Public
Step One Automo
tive Group launched an all new
Local Heroes Campaign, last
Tuesday, January 24th at the
South Savannah Store located

nah, GA 31406.
“Since April 2020,
Step One Grab and Go Meals
for Local Heroes was dedicat
ed to bringing our community
together, showing appreciation
and supporting local business
es. Together with Savannah
Food Truck force we served
3,300 delicious meals to first
responders, military, veter
ans, and medical workers and
honored fourteen incredible
individuals and organizations.
From veterans, police officers,
EMS, medical workers, SWAT
team members, single moms,
cancer survivors, social work
ers, and volunteers, we put a
spotlight on the dedicated giv
ers in our community,” states
STEP ONE Marketing Manag
er Maj a Ciric.
“Moving forward in
2023, Step One Team will help
share the story, volunteer and
bring awareness to the incred
ible people and organizations
that are making an impact every
day. Every month, we will fea
ture, interview and volunteer at
different non-profit groups and
are proud to announce THE
DIVE SAVANNAH is our first
recipient. We admire Kristy
CrilTs tenacity in getting veter
ans off the street and with her
partnership with Christ Church
Anglican where she feeds, pro
vides clothing, medical assis
tance, and resources for close
to 200 homeless every Thurs
day,” adds Ciric.
“I am so grateful to all
of our community partners who
are dedicated to keeping The
Dive successful and thriving.
Each time an order is placed
through our catering service, or
someone volunteers or makes
a donation to our Foundation,
they are assisting to decrease
the homeless epidemic in our
amazing coastal community.
We are especially thankful to
Step One Automotive for all
they do in Savannah and for
their unwavering support of
The Dive Savannah,” states

Savannah Tech’s bak

developed by the College to
teach the art of creating tasty
baked goods, pastries, and con
fections, from traditional bread
baking to beautiful showpiec
es. Students learn a variety
of international and classical
pastries and desserts using ba
sic and advanced techniques,
which meet industry quality
standards.
Graduates are work
ing as pastry chefs in the area’s
finest restaurants and establish
ments, including Local 11 Ten,
Le Cafe Gourmet, Savannah
Yacht Club, and The Landings
Club. There are more than 30
students are currently enrolled
in the baking and pastry pro
gram.
With support from the
Savannah Technical College
Foundation, the College has
purchased 7 West Bay Street
as the new downtown location
for an expansion of its Culinary
Arts program, which will more
than double the available in
structional space. Senior level
(second year) students will take
classes and work in the bakery
and restaurant. The hands-on,
real-world experience in the
restaurant/bakery will allow
students the opportunity to
apply techniques learned in
the classroom to practical use,
complete a required field place
ment, and gain first-hand expe
rience in restaurant operations.
New students are ad
mitted to the baking and pastry
program year-round. For more

In 2014, the City of
Savannah Municipal Archives
released Phase I of the “Mu
nicipal Slavery Project” which
documented the City’s owner
ship of enslaved individuals
to support municipal work,
and began identifying some of
these individuals by name, in
cluding Chance, Monday, Bob,
Ben, London, and Ellick.
The project identified
the need for additional research
and during the past year, the
Municipal Archives enlisted
the help of Research Histori
an Mark O’Dell to undertake a
second phase of the project fo
cused on the hiring out system,
with the goal of making exist
ing records containing infor
mation on the topic of slavery
more accessible for historians,
students, and citizens, and to
raise awareness of the scope of
the City’s use of enslaved labor
to support municipal work and
functions.
Phase II consisted of
the transcription of City Trea
surer’s records from 1806-
1866, capturing evidence of the
use of enslaved men, women,
and children by various City
of Savannah departments (in
cluding the Streets and Lanes,
Scavengers, and Fire depart
ments).
The final products of
this work are now available to
the public, including a research
summary explaining the data
collection and analysis meth
odology, recommendations for
further research, and instruc
tions for using the Phase II
spreadsheet and reports. The
data collection spreadsheet has
been provided in its original
form to enable users to sort,
analyze, and study the data for
themselves.
Both phases of The
Municipal Slavery Project,
both Phase I and Phase II’s re
sults, is available through the
City’s website at www.savan-
nahga.gov/slavery. Collection
finding aids and inventories
for the City’s historical records
are available online at www.
savannahga.gov/collections.
The public can use the primary
source collections by making a
research appointment via email
at Archives@savannahga.gov
or by calling (912) 651-6412.
