Atlanta business mogul Ron Bivins was the brainchild behind the Georgia Public Broadcasting production, As If We Were Ghosts, which airs on all GPB's Georgia stations on June 13 and June 19 (Juneteenth). It aired at 9 pm Monday, June 13 and 5 pm, Sunday, June 19, 2022.
In 2005, Bivins saw several interviews GPB conducted with Georgia black high school athletes, now ages 60s to 90s, who were "ghosted" by the white society in Georgia.
After several discussions with former Atlanta Hawks player Herb White, then a communications executive with GPB, and other GPB executives, Bivins gained the rights to all of the footage. He began his pursuit of giving life to the upcoming production, As If We Were Ghosts, which highlights the harsh treatment of Black high school athletes during segregation and their unwavering spirit to overcome challenges. Bivins, a graduate of A.S. Staley High School, Americus, Ga., played quarterback on the football team, basketball and baseball. He never got to enjoy his trophies and honors since his all-Black high school was mysteriously burned just prior to full integration.
