"The People Act" was a radio program created to display the work done by communities around America that made a difference in their world, and for others around them. They focus on the individual efforts of people within small towns to make their communities better places by working with others and through using government programs. The idea to share the stories of these various communities came from Elmore McKee (the program's future director) and was turned into a radio program during the early 1950s. J. Carson Pritchard (the director of "The People Act") first met with Elmore McKee during his time working for the Carroll County Service Council. Pritchard was granted a year's leave from West Georgia College as Chaplain and Community Relations Director to work on the program in 1952-1953. The program, along with being aired on the Columbia Broadcasting System, was recorded on vinyl records. The vinyl records within this collection were given to the people of Carroll County, Georgia, for their participation in the program. The People Act program featured Carroll County in a story that discussed the effect that a visitor from India had on the local populace. This portion of the radio program was played on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) on May 11, 1952.
