Historical Note
The Circuit Rider was a progressive newsletter covering politics in the City of Atlanta in the late 1970s. From the first issue: "A circuit rider historically was a preacher who traveled from town to town carrying word of the gospel. Also, a judge who rode a circuit of small towns holding court was sometimes called a circuit rider. Both preacher and judge rideing the circuits played the vital role of carrying the news from place to place. We decided to update the term to mean an information network; our Circuit Rider will spread the word around Atlanta about progressive political events, including activities from all area groups that agree with our statement of purpose: Circuit Rider is a biweekly calendar promoting the efforts of organizations seeking human justice and social change through struggles against economic exploitation and oppression due to race, class, sex, sexual preference, or age."
