CHUBBTOWN: A Black American family story in Georgia

February 05, 2021
By Donnell Suggs

I was in Chubbtown, named after the Black family that came to north Georgia from North Carolina more than 180 years ago, and what I wanted more than to be warmer was to find out how a Black family could amass the kind of wealth the Chubbs did during the height of Jim Crow?

“To come out like they did, somewhere between slavery and freedom, to me this is a part of American history that is rarely, if ever told,” said Whatley, 71, the author of “The Chubbs: A free Black family’s journey from the Antebellum era to the mid-1900’s” (2020).

“A lot of the time American history is glorified but for some people, this country has never been great and these types of stories need to be shared.”
