Lillian Lydia Beavers Garnett (December 2, 1902, Atlanta, Georgia - September 14, 1988, Winston-Salem, North Carolina,) was an accomplished teacher, leader in black society in Atlanta serving on various associations from University Women to Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority to Media Women, carrying on the heritage of service and discipline of her family and worked alongside other inspiring figures of black history in Atlanta with whom she was also friends with. Along the way she joined the Bahá'í Faith serving locally and traveling to many Bahá'í conferences. She went on to become a writer of a newspaper column from 1969 to 1984 and often wrote of the religion amidst diverse topics.
After teaching in elementary school from the early 1920s she earned academic degrees as did many of her siblings - hers were from Atlanta University and the University of Cincinnati, after which at first she taught at North Carolina A&T and then returned to the K-12 education she had started at but now teaching high school English in Atlanta. Near halfway through her life she married a preacher and in a few years she encountered the Bahá'í Faith, joined the religion in 1948 thanks to a study particularly of the Hidden Words with two friends, amidst turbulent opposition to the Faith in Atlanta, and for the next 20 years served in local roles from giving talks, elected as one of the delegates to the US National Bahá'í Convention, to being elected to the Spiritual Assembly of Atlanta. Across the same period she lived through the deaths of her parents, husband, and other kin, retired as a teacher, while also traveling to places like Los Angeles and Paris. Major Bahá'í conferences she attended and wrote about sooner or later were the first World Congress in 1962, her first international trip, the Oceanic Conferences at Palermo, Reykjavik, Hawaii, and Caribbean/Jamaica, the national conference in St. Louis, and the international conference hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1976. In the later 1960s she took the opportunity of aiding a new newspaper, The Atlanta Voice, which had a significant basis in civil rights coverage and served the black community of greater Atlanta. She became a columnist of the newspaper and often featured the Bahá'í Faith amidst various articles on the black community or engaging in wider appreciations of arts, travel such as to the above places, and life lessons. Amidst these she also became blind through an event that burned her retinas in the early 1970s. These columns up to 1976 were also gathered and published in a book titled after her column My Reflections along with a few pieces that had not been published - and she had already published a biography on her father and family. She continued to produce more columns at a reduced rate over the next few years until 1984 when she published her last and was succeeded by another Bahá'í columnist. Along the way she had won various local awards as a media personality and accomplished writer. She was featured in newspaper coverage of the religion in Atlanta in 1987 amidst the now much grown community. She was visiting sisters in September 1988 living in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, when she died of pulmonary problems, and was buried in Atlanta.
Biography[edit]
Born and raised[edit]
Lillian Lydia Beavers was the first born of Jefferson F. Beavers and Idella Arnold Beavers, December 2, 1902,[1][2] while they were living on W. Howard Avenue in College Park, Fulton County, Georgia, United States, on the southern border of Atlanta. She later recalled attending a country school house,[3] East Point High School.[4]
Jefferson was a line worker on a car assembly line in 1910.[5] Jefferson was born November 30, 1873,[6] in Coweta, County, and he and many of his siblings gained some education of their own about in the 1890s, Jefferson at Morris Brown College, and some of the family tree is known back to the 1850s.[7]
In 1916-1917 Beavers was a sophomore at the high school program of what was later the HBCU Atlanta University, then junior,[8] and a senior in 1918.[9] That year Jefferson registered for the WWI draft while they were still living on W. Howard Ave, but he was now employed as a mail carrier.[6] He was still a mail carrier in 1920 with the family, including 6 children, still living on W. Howard Ave.[10] All six children would go on to college and four would gain master's degrees.[7][4] Jefferson was known as a generous patron to the community, member of AME Zion church and superintendent of the Sunday school for 30 yrs.[4] In 1975 she published a biography of her father and the family's early years.[11]
In 1920-1 she was a member of the Junior Class at Atlanta University,[12] Beavers taught school first at E. A. Ware Elementary School,[2] named after Edmund Asa Ware and opened in 1922. Perhaps she perhaps before it was officially opened or served in multiple capacities,[13] because by the end of 1922 she was “teacher of the year” at Howard High School, was chair of the Language Arts Department and Coordinator of Student Teaching.[14] and subsequently served at Booker T. Washington High School.[2] In 1926-7 Beavers was a special student at Atlanta University.[15]
By 1931 Beavers was Vice President of the University Players dramatic group and finishing her Bachelor of Science in Education at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio.[16][2] She went on to earn a masters of arts from the University of Cincinnati as well in 1935,[2] lived briefly in an apartment on Ashby St. in College Park,[17] but was soon employed as a teacher at HBCU North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, by the summer of 1937, as a visiting instructor and where she directed a dance at the coronation of “Miss A&T".[18]
Before 1940 she had had a jilted love affair from which she recovered slowly.[19]
By 1940 she was a lodger in an apartment on Ashby St. in College Park again and employed as a public school teacher earning $1650/year,[17] about $30k/year in 2020 dollars.[20]
Married and social leader[edit]
She met her husband to be, Rev. John Ellis Garnett,[21] and they married about 1942 in a marriage that would last 25 years.[19] He had earned three degrees at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania - theological, Bachelor’s and Master's.[22]:pp124-5 He taught Latin and Math at Booker T. Washington High School and thus was able to serve as a minister to churches for free.
The fact that she could continue work as a teacher while married was itself a point in history,[23] by around 1944.[24] In August 1946 she wrote a letter to the editor of the The Atlanta Constitution about the Moore's Ford lynchings as President of the Atlanta Metropolitan Council of Negro Women and speaking for affiliated institutions.[25] She was back teaching at Howard High School, then a school of 3000 students and 70 teachers.[26]
Encounter with the Bahá'í Faith[edit]
Her urge to study religion brought her to the Bahá'í Faith.[19] The Bahá'í Faith in Atlanta dates back at least to 1909 through a connection with Disciple of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Lua Getsinger.[27] Louis Gregory and Roy Williams met this early Bahá'í and praised his courage in the face of racial division. The Chamber of Commerce had invited 'Abdu’l-Bahá to visit during the journeys to the West, but it had not worked out. Ministers in Atlanta were appreciative of the religion and the First Congregational Church had hosted Gregory many times and in 1937 he spoke there and at Booker T. Washington High School. Olga Finke had moved to Atlanta the same year to try to sustain the community which at the time was mostly transient Bahá'ís. More entered the religion in 1939 through Orcella Rexford and the few black members of the community moved back to where they came from. The assembly was elected in 1940 with Terah Cowart Smith though it was only white. The issue of accepting black converts immediately came up and with Smith and the National Assembly integrated meetings began in short order. The 1940s began an era of change in Atlanta of moderate progressive views on race integration, albeit still segregated. Pay scales for black teachers were equalized in a court case in 1947. There were about 23 Bahá'ís in Atlanta area in the later 1940s.[27]
Then member of the National Spiritual Assembly in the United States, former assistant attorney general in Ohio, and a president for the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Elsie Austin came and gave a talk in February 1947,[28] and Carl Scheffler followed at an interracial meeting,[29] then Mrs. Charles Bishop talk in March included mention of interracial harmony,[30] and Louilie Mathews talk on her international travels and the recent pioneer school (see Flora Emily Hottes.)[31] An interracial Feast in April was confronted by whites including putting a KKK sticker on the door to which police were called. This challenge began the process of buying a Bahá'í Center starting with renting a facility by June.[27][32] This was also discussed at the national convention when A. Louise Taylor: "When an invasion occurs, it's too late to get help. We must obtain pre-guarantees, develop the local status, prestige of the Faith.…" Elsie Austin was also among those that spoke up on the theme.[33] In 1948 talks in Atlanta by the Bahá'ís continued with traveling presenters starting with Marzieh Gail,[34] and late in the year a letter to the editor was locally published quoting a national assembly response to a column on the religion by Westbrook Pegler.[35] Garnett joined the religion in during 1948.[36] She tells some of the story in her book My Reflections published in 1976.[22]:pp4-5 She was introduced to the religion by friend Mrs. A. Louise Taylor[37] circa 1947 though she had not been looking for a religion. She was given three books and studied them Tuesday evenings after school with Taylor and Mrs. Olive Releford[38] for nine months. How Christ fit into this was a constant worry to Garnett, though “The truth pierced my heart and soul” which was resolved when she learned that “The Baha’i Faith does not seek to abrogate, set aside, nor belittle any of the past manifestations.(sic)” She had joined the AME church at the age of 12, but had never had a conversion experience as some told of their stories. “Near the latter part of my study period I was reading the Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh, a little red book, and before I knew it tears started streaming down my face. A spiritual feeling enveloped my whole body. My mind seemed to expand, and I understood as never before that it was impossible for me ever to exhaust the meaning of the Bahá’í teachings or to comprehend the whole. Even if I studied all day long every day for a lifetime, this feat could never be achieved. I wanted to become a Bahá’í in order to continue to study, absorb, and fulfill the meaning of my existence. Having made this decision, I had another hurdle to overcome. My husband was an ordained Presbyterian minister. Unity was the pivot of the Bahá’í Faith. I didn’t wish for disunity and disharmony in my home. How was I to reconcile my acceptance of the Bahá’í Faith with my husband’s ardent devotion to his church? Boldly, I announced one Friday night, 'I’m going to become a member of the Bahá’í Faith tonight.' I had sent a letter requesting my enrollment. 'Oh no!' he said. 'Don’t do that. People will say that you join everything that come along.” No more was said. It rained forcefully. The telephone rang. “The meeting for tonight has been canceled. It will be held next Friday night.' I became a Bahá’í the next Friday night without form or fashion. I had studied the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, and now the next step was to implement them.” She grew accustomed to not thinking she had to go to church on Sundays and hosted a Bahá’í Feast, held the fast, and joined its new year celebration at the Butler Street YWCA. She invited the minister to the New Year meeting, but he said nothing and preached an anti-Bahá'í sermon on a day she chose to attend. Of her and her husband about the Faith she says: "He never disagreed with my becoming a member of the Bahá’í World Faith. And I was happy to help him in any way I could to carry out his duties as a devout Presbyterian.”[22]:pp124-5
Ongoing years of service[edit]
In 1949 there were Bahá'í meetings in January,[39] and by a summary of the religion published in The Atlanta Constitution, and teachings[40] followed by more speakers.[41]
Mabel Eastman gave a talk at the new Bahá'í Center in January, 1950.[42] The address used as a Center at 379 Edgewood Ave NE dates back at least to 1907[43] and in the 1940s was owned by Leroy Burns who built the building circa 1949,[27] and use was opposed by segregationists,[36] and is still the Center today.[44]
Garnett aided in a prominent wedding reception in Atlanta in February.[45] The Bahá'ís held a New Year observance,[46] and speakers were advertised in June,[47] and July.[48] The Atlanta Bahá'ís held a regional conference with speaker Winston Evans in September,[49] and observed the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh at the Center.[50]
Garnett herself spoke on "Tests and Afflictions" at the Bahá'í Center in late August, 1953.[51] Her father died July 1955,[52] and in August the suggestion was made that the College Park elementary school be named after him.[53] which came to pass.[7][4] Her mother followed him in death in June 1957.[54]
Garnett coordinated a Bahá'í conference lead by assembly members at the Center in September 1958.[55]
She also went to the Bahá'í World Congress in London that year.[22]:pp90 Ten chartered planes left the US for London with up to 140 per plane the week before the Congress. On her plane a member of the national assembly offered a prayer. She chose a pre-conference tour of Paris and went to the Louvre, the Arch of Triumph, Versailles, and took a train ride across the English Channel and saw some sights in London - Stratford-on-Avon, St. Pau’s Cathedral, West Minster Abbey, Poet’s Corner, Dickens Curiosity Shop, the Toward of London, and Buckingham Palace. She was encouraged to go by her husband.[22]:pp124-5 While in Paris she attended a memorial service for a plane full of Atlantean artists that had crashed flying to Paris in 1962.[3]
In 1964, she was awarded "Teacher of the Year" for her service at Howard High,[56] but that year her husband also became a quadriplegic and was attended to by two nurses in addition to her own care.[22]:pp124-5 A brother of Garnett died in September 1966.[57] That year she was named secretary of the Bahá'í Assembly of Atlanta in November while living on Morris Brown Dr. SW.[58] It is not known how long she served or if she had served before. Around then she was also noted as a retired English teacher and began as a volunteer with The Atlanta Voice, a weekly African-American community newspaper founded in 1966 by Ed Clayton and Janice Lowell Ware,[59] offering to proofread. She was soon offered a job editing but she preferred to write a column.[60]
Garnett's husband died in 1967.[21] In 1968 she attended the Oceanic Bahá'í Conference held in Palermo, Italy, amidst beautiful scenes, though there was damage visible in the roads[22]:pp94 from the 1968 Belice earthquake months earlier. A sudden storm threatened and rained hard and there was a power loss during the conference but then dissipated after more than 2 hours and the event went forward. Years later she recalled a difficulty with a roommate that was handled by tending towards the better side of being a "big" person and how it worked out.[61] While Garnett doesn't comment on it, most who attended went on to pilgrimage observing the centenary of Bahá'u'lláh's arrival in the Holy Land.[62]
Columnist[edit]
1969[edit]
Garnet's first column entitled "My Reflection in the Arts" in Atlanta Voice came in mid-March, 1969, looking at the broad status of art in Atlanta as a "Mecca”,[63] followed by a book review of Status Seekers[64] by Vance Packard. She celebrated the new undertaking with a bridge party.[65] Garnett then covered the opening of the Memorial Arts Center raised in memory of airplane crash of Atlanta artists in 1962. The performance company failed though she appreciated the play that carried on after.[3] She wrote about the national convention held at the Bahá'í Temple,[66] and then was noted donating money for pews in the Mt. Zion AME Church.[67] In August Garnett hosted the party the honoring of William Whitaker Allison as head of a multi-county department leading the "war on poverty” as well announcing is as his engagement. Other Bahá'ís of Atlanta, DeKalb and Cobb Counties were also there including national assembly member Jack McCants and his then wife.[68] She profiled recent deaths of kin and Bahá'í,[69] and wrote of raising "doing things” to being an artist.[70] In later October Garnett gave a talk at the Mt. Zion AME Church, who noted her as a retired Atlanta teacher, then teaching at Blayton Business College, educated at Atlanta University and the Columbia State University.[71] In December she reviewed a symposium on a question of the arts in the age of anger as panelists addressed three questions - What kind of art should society expect or demand at this juncture? What kind of society should the arts foreshadow and the arts work for? What do I which to do and not what society wants me to do?[72] She then summarized a vacation trip to Nassau as a member of a party of Atlanteans in December stopping in Miami first sailing on the SS Flavia cruise ship and flew back on Delta airlines.[73]

(Sonnet 43) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning in her column in memory of her husband, with a picture of him.[77]
In May she wrote of how she detested the movie The Liberation of LBJ (not about the president,) echoing others. She mentions how the black community was "forced silence 20 years ago but not today" over such outrage.[78] She then reviewed the black production company The Black Image Theatre, a performance at Spelman College, and Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway in a performance of Hello Dolly,[79] and that she would review a performance of La Traviata at the Fox Theatre which had begun admitting blacks,[80] which happened in 1962.[81] However, instead the next piece began a series on the Bahá'í Faith. It had a picture of the Wilmette Bahá'í House of Worship and list of its nine inscriptions on the outside and the other nine on the inside, summarized the Bahá'í national convention and the election of the national assembly summarizing the elected membership as "Diversity is quite evident among the members elected.".[82] The second in the series had a picture of the Temple in Uganda and reviewed the claims of Bahá’u’lláh and the general teachings of the religion and simple details of its history.[83] The third in the series had a picture of the House of Worship in Australia, and was something of a biography of Bahá’u’lláh.[84] Now in June, the fourth in the series had a picture of the Archives Building on Mt. Carmel, and reviewed three onenesses and teachings of the religion.[85] The fifth of the series had a picture of the Shrine of the Báb on Mt. Carmel and reviewed the ideas of the search for truth amidst religions claiming exclusivity to the truth because of institutions and traditional forms and the need to be in harmony with science.[86] Still in June, the next pieces reviewed the life of Dr. Carrie Leigh George, the first woman to receive a PhD from the Atlanta University,[87] and continued the Bahá'í coverage featuring a picture of the Temple in Germany, and reviewed five principle teachings of the religion - unity of humanity, religion as a cause of love, harmony of religion and science, and the removal of prejudices.[88] Neither appeared under her columns name, however. Closing June, a notice came out mentioning she was area chairman of the American Association of University Women,[89] and wrote about the Shrine of the Báb, noting she had been to see it.[90]
Opening July, Garnett summarized several activities of the community after a brief profile of 'Abdu'l-Bahá including a picture: a youth conference in Wilmette in June 1970, and college Club meeting at Georgia State University, and the Southeastern Bahá'í Summer School held at Camp John Hope, Fort Valley, Georgia, in late June-early July.

Garnett presented the Bahá'í point of view on the oneness of humanity, equality of sexes and removal of prejudice. Fuller spoke to black empowerment and to redeem the culture. Jordan, to his wife’s narration, painted portraits - one about Jesus and one about the marches amidst confusion centered on a black boy holding a torch.

In December she did a tribute memorial on the passing of a friend who attended the First Congregational Church,[246] and attended The Atlanta Voice Christmas party.[247]
1975-6, two books, and Kenya[edit]
1975 opened with a reprint of a 1974 article from World Order on women and the Faith,[248] and then her coverage of the history and progress of the Butler Street YMCA,[249] and then a biography of a Christian woman and her long years of service and character.[250] In mid-March she then wrote about the Bahá'í point of view about world materialism and the need for spiritualization,[251] and then on ideas of ecological degradation happening around us and in us and quotes Shoghi Effendi and Bahá’u’lláh.[252]
In April she printed another article from World Order from 1970,[253] and was still a known member of the Atlanta Association of Media Women,[254] and went on a trip to Israel.[255] Her next article was an excerpt from a talk by Bahá'í Stanwood Cobb on youth and seeking education, calling them even a new race and a new world order arising for the new youth.[256] As she had done with previous travels she then wrote more about the trip to Israel. First in a series of articles she describes how she flew from New York city to Tel Aviv there and on the way back stopped in many cities. She discusses the definitions of the Holy Land, went from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and ascended mountains and river valleys of the Bible.[257] She mentions traveling with a group and they spent four days in Jerusalem where she describes visiting various points in the old and new city.[258] She reviewed Israel’s geography and history.[259] In part 5 in the series looked at the archeology of Israel,[260] and then on the importance of education in Israel and the systems that support it.[261] Last in the series she reviews Haifa and the Baha'is there but does not refer to an act of pilgrimage.[262] and did a profile on who Bahá’u’lláh was,[263] and then on the teachings of the religion.[264] Now in later June she summarized the Bahá'í support the UN’s International Women’s Year and quoted some mentions of it,[265] and then reviewed Ebony’s list of black leaders filtering for just the women.[266]
She was still the advertising manager.[267]
Come July she looked at the problem of sexism and women standing up for equal treatment and highlights some Atlanta organizations active in the work.[268] Then she reviewed issues of mental health and some institutions serving the community.[269] She referred to the question of reading via a American Association of University Women’s talk and increasing busy-ness, looks at individual taste, and used books.[270] She also wrote of the work toward the equality of man and women.[271]
This was also the year the book Tower of Strength about her father was published.[11]
In September the pace returned with two articles about Tahirih.[272] and two more articles. She extended the mention of the UN International Women’s Year and the Bahá'í support for it along with a little history,[273] and she profiled a 72 year old musician Graham W. Jackson that was going to play for a wedding.[274] Numerous uncredited quotes intermingled a commentary on a virtuous life and it’s effect on others using the familiar title "The Dynamic Force of Example" in October.[275] (see the 1974 book done by Daniel Jordan.) She then reviewed/summarized "Just Between us Blacks" by Carl Rowan outlining a mass media bias against blacks but also that blacks don't use the media and often just complain about things.[276] In November she turned her attention back to, and on the progress of, the new Earl R. McLendon Health Care Center.[277] In December she recalled and profiled Atlanta University.[278]
What had ebbed in her writing of articles in 1975 turned into a yearlong gap with another book coming out based on her columns and more: ‘’My Reflections’’.[22] It was a compilation of articles from Atlanta Voice from 1969-1976. The book has sections on philosophies (featuring the Bahá'í Faith and her own conversion story,) places (living in Africa, Iceland and Atlanta, and Israel and some educational institutions,) and people.[279] October was also when she took a trip to the International Bahá'í Conference in Nairobi, Kenya.[22]:pp99-100 Otherwise the news was that a brother of Garnett died in June.[280]
1977[edit]
Now done with the books she opened 1977 with reviews of ideas of male and female qualities in things and in males and females being mixed seeking and needing some balance.[281] And then she starts an analysis on the future of religion with a comment of a preacher about the development in religion and religious teachings.[282] Then she looks at the positive aspect of human zeal being a spiritual one highlighted by when it is absent.[283] Having done one article a month here-to-fore, mention of her tripled up in March when she added a review of the idea of a spiritual order in our lives, when faculties and abilities are coordinated vs disordered and ineffective,[284] and was honored by Atlanta University’s Alumni following publishing her second book.[285] In April there was a reception given for her publishing,[286] and she reviewed the structure and content of the book herself too.[287] She closed April with a look at the consciousness of life as a divine bestowal but also the sex drive and its need for moderation.[288]
Garnett's two books Tower of Strength and My Reflections in the Arts were the object of praise amidst her body of work when she was given the "Alumna of the Year" award at a banquet, with speaker Maynard Jackson, by the Atlanta University president Thomas Jarrett.[289] She returned to the subjects of some of her earlier work but not just repeating the articles but back on her more leisurely pace of once-a-month. She reviewed the idea of Words again.[290] and on the usefulness of questions she draws again from 'Abdu'l-Bahá's Some Answered Questions.[291] She reviews the idea of loftiness again, not the same as earlier.[292] Sneaking in an extra article in September, she reviewed the idea of freedom and being imprisoned in one’s own ideas,[293] and then turned to the benefits of prayer and meditation with some unattributed quotes.[294]
Her book was advertised,[295] and briefly summarized and commented on: "This anthology shows the author's spiritual strength and her concern about society."[296]
The year closes with a mention she was over at Alex Martin Ware’s home for Thanksgiving.[297]
1978[edit]
1978 opens in April, later than any year since she began writing articles, when she wrote of beauty and the act of a parent’s birthday.[298] Garnett was one of the holders of tickets for the Media Women annual luncheon mid-month.[299] Most of the year goes by before her next article. There was probably a trip in there. In November she reviewed the idea of wit, humor, and laughter and writes of having visited Ireland and hearing Hal Roach.[300] then an article on Irish music,[301] and now in December one on Scottish folklore and culture and visiting there.[302] She then closes out the year writing of marriage and its benefits in light of a wedding of a friend of hers and her graduation.[303]

After a couple months she repeats an article of 19 Feb 1977 on “the religion of the future”.[312] She wrote of the sadness and ills suffered sparked from the accident that killed two young children.[313] She reviewed the growth of teenage pregnancies as a sign of worsening conditions, a weakening of society, particularly of the family, and partly of the new morality and of lacking appreciation and access to other things than sex.[314] Then in November she looked at rising crime as again symptomatic of a weakling, sickening, society and the family partly by drugs and the new morality resulting in cold hearts.[315] A week later she saw the age of intellectualism, of memorizing facts, merging with an age of intuition, of wisdom.[316]
1980[edit]
She struggled with the optimistic hopes dashed in accidents and catastrophes of the Seventies and wonders what the Eighties will bring in January.[317] She returned to the topic of inhumanity but focused on abused children and wives, and race and age.[318] She extended the topic looking at the heights of inhumanity in war in February.[319] She looked at the handicapped in society and wondered if there are so many of different kinds of disabilities, as well as increasing breadth of aids.[320] She then profiled a tribute to regional news anchor and black woman Monica Kaufman who had been on a national tv show interviewed for her work.[321] In March she discussed the problem of physical blindness.[322]

The awards were given by Jean Childs Young. The talk centered on the history and ongoing challenges of racism.[331] Garnett continued to be active in the Media Women association,[332] and then reviewed the catastrophes just half way in the year - Mt. St Helens, the deaths of Richard Pryor and shooting of Vernon Jordan.[333]
In July she also wrote of the need for self-reliance,[334] and wrote on the importance of sources - physical sources like rivers, inventions, and Alex Haley’s book Roots challenged us to remember where we came from, who are parents were, and accredits God as the source of our existence.[335] She covered the Alpha Kappa Alpha regional meeting,[336] and extended the coverage a week later,[337] and a third time.[338] She again took up the topic of order in our lives but in a new details compared to her March 1977 article.[339]
In September she covered the Booker T. Washington High School class of 1939 memorial for its teachers. Many were able to attend and many more could not, and the many that formed the committee to have the event.[340] She profiled another churchman and close to his kin,[341] and another article highlighted the history of the sorority and the names of people who had served it.[342]
In October she wrote of tuning in to gather one’s inner resources and the need for positive vs negative thoughts and divine sources.[343] Then in November she wrote about things that restrict people - race, religion, class, favoritism - compared to the effect of cooperation and togetherness, spirituality and consecration.[344] Closing 1980 she wrote of the myth of Santa Claus being in the spirit of the Wisemen’s gifts to Jesus,[345] and she is seen attending the Christmas party of the Media Women’s association.[346]

Opening January 1981 she covered the area Bahá'í observance of Human Rights Day along with media presentations. Humanitarian awards were also given out. Robert Hatch was chair of the Atlanta Assembly and others took part in the meeting as well.[347] She then turned her attention to the effort for us to be “big” in our character and morality. She recalls an event being in Palermo Italy when she turned a difficult moment into a good one.[61] She then marked the inauguration of Ronald Reagan and positive of the return of the American hostages from Iran,[348] but then noted the wave of persecutions against Bahá'ís in that country following the revolution.[349] Still in February she covered the memorial of Booker T. Washington High School of the first principle of the school.[350]
In March she wrote of needing to overcome bad habits and negative thinking and turning to spiritual thoughts and actions.[351] In earlier May she wrote of the election of the Bahama National Spiritual Assembly,[352] and in a couple weeks she covered a seminar sponsored by the Atlanta Bahá'ís on having violence-free society with books promoted, talks, and workshops held.[353] In June she sorrows that black children go missing and turn up dead, and the disruption to people when good things change to bad, and bad things change to good.[354] Then she does a story telling of a starling chicklets losing its honesty and the battle of growing up by picking up bad habits.[355]
In July she wrote of the suffering of undue criticism and that it can be deflected by understanding where the person(s) is coming from and loving their problem rather than taking it personally.[356] She covered the marriage of Lady Diana and Prince Charles, the splendor and pageantry of it and the need to raise the sacredness of the marriage vow.[357] And she addressed the value of respect for people and not treating others from a position of superiority.[358]
There is no known article in September but in October she covered how material things don’t lead to happiness on the one hand while rising social abuses are rising on the other and also not leading to happiness.[359] In November she wrote of the benefits of kindness to oneself and others and she was observant of the elderly being alone.[360] And in December she had a triplet of articles: she quoted prayers of Bahá’u’lláh’s,[361] covered the warm family feeling and generosity of the Thanksgiving meal she attended,[362] and then of alternating between time passing and time being of the essence of the moment reflect in her mind as the year change approached, and nostalgia.[363]
1982[edit]
The day after New Year’s Garnett and sister LaVern visited Atlanta elder Erdie Chandler, kin to many leaders in the black community. Chandler had a proclamation about her back December 9 by the Mayor of Atlanta, which Garnett quoted. Additionally the JUNS had praise for her as well.[364] In March she writes of seeing, paraphrasing Bahá'u'lláh, that the equilibrium of the world upset, and natural phenomena appear strange. Negativity and positiveness mingle, and we are left feeling small and helpless while reaching undreamed of possibilities. She points to the need for the harmony of material and spiritual progress and specifically increasing the aim towards the spiritual.[365] A week later she called indifference the greatest confrontation to the human spirit and references Peter’s answer to Jesus’ question "Whom do men say I am?” being constructive and not just right.[366] In April she covered the Atlanta chapter of the National Association of Media Women award to J. Lowell Ware who’s greatest success she calls the Atlanta Voice though his media business was in many places plus other family businesses.[367] and attended a following meeting.[368]
Late in May she reviewed the ideas of greatness related to wealth, worldly success or persistence, and an inner acceptance of one’s work and virtues. She identifies lasting greatness with goodness.[369]
A year goes by from May 1982 with no articles and no appearances in other groups either yet found.
1983[edit]
Her next known article come in March 1983 when she reviewed the winter Bahá'í school held at Saint Simons Island on the theme of racial prejudice and the biography of Louis Gregory by Gail Morrison,[370] and then wrote on ideas of magic, and of the effect of praise, and sees one like the other, and that genuine praise comes from “a kindly heart”.[371] In May she looks to the glory of springtime and autumn, their vibrancy of color, the changes in patterns of life and form the ends of the seesaw movements,[372] on the accepting of failure and the trouble with success,[373] and then writes of the death of a co-worker and the memorial service held.[374]
In June her article on barriers from 22 Nov 1980 was repeated.[375]
The head of her column changed from “reflection” to “reflections” in July. “Time kills self-conceit…” she starts. “Age reduces many a celebrity to a nobody.” Loss and gain end and only God is everlasting, she says.[376] In August she appears to quote an anonymous writer on the subject of “little things”. Little acts of kindness, thoughtfulness, are the sources of praise and gratitude. Laughing at one’s foibles and remembering them at the end of each day to inspire us for doing the same to others.[377] And then her column’s name changes from “My reflections…” to “My experiences…”. She recalls a visit of a bus from Winston-Salem, NC going to Niagara Falls and other spots in Canada.[378]
Another extended break in known coverage comes from September.
1984[edit]
The next known article is of later March when she discusses the weather - how it is discussed, liked or not, and how hard the most recent winter had been, or the heat of the previous summer.[379] In April she wrote of belief in religion.[380] She identifies herself in May being apart like Jesus called to His disciples "Come ye apart and rest awhile” in how she has become blind. How she felt this challenge has drawn her closer to God and how her other senses and participation has become keener, more patient.[19] In may the changes wrought by science are compared with the need of humanness.[381] Then she looked at how people think of handicaps vs how people with them triumphed, and the choice of how to face one’s challenges.[382] In June she hailed the achievements of the Braves even though some remember only the Dodgers hired Jackie Robinson, though she hopes racism never rises again.[383]
In August the editor of The Atlanta Voice contributed a memorial entry of the 20 years of the newspaper saying the it was "one of The Voice's most popular columns" and "a source of inspiration and guidance". Garnett suffered a burned retina in the early 1970s. She then became a receptionist and continued writing many more years via her column even while she was blind.[60] In September she looked at farm life and several of the animals one encountered in earlier days and what they are like. But these things seem forgotten and we are the worse for it.[384] This appears to be her last article.
Last years[edit]
It is known that Garnett had a residence in Atlanta still in September 1986.[385]
Garnett was noted in 1987 in the Bahá'í community and recalled its earlier era in Atlanta. The community had reached almost 200 plus growth across the rest of Georgia counted at near 4000 people, 52 assemblies and communities. The Atlanta community had long been part of Martin Luther King Day marches. Garnett said "[The Baha'i faith(sic)] is not what religion is, it is what religion should be."[36] By that point another Bahá'í's column called "A New Reality" was started in The Voice by Lynda Couture (later Godwin) that ran 1987-1990.[386]
Garnett died September 14, 1988, of coronary artery disease in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at Forsyth Memorial Hospital.[2][57] She was visiting sisters Viola Martin and Ola M. Thurston.
