Editing Cuthbert, Georgia (section)

==Culture and historic district==
Cuthbert is home to [[Andrew College]] (formerly Andrew Female College), a two-year private liberal arts college. The [[Fletcher Henderson]] Museum is being established in Cuthbert in honor of the 20th-century jazz musician and orchestra arranger.

The city has notable sites such as a Confederate Army cemetery, historical houses built in the 1800s, and the Fletcher Henderson home. In 2007 an announcement was made of a museum to be dedicated to late resident [[Lena Baker]] and issues of racial justice. Baker was an African-American maid who was convicted of [[capital murder]] in 1945 in the death of a white man; she was the only woman in Georgia to be executed by electric chair. She had claimed self-defense, and in 2005 the state posthumously pardoned her.<ref>[http://www.bigbandlibrary.com/bigbandnewsjuly2007.html "Big Band News"], Big Band Library: July 2007</ref> She was the subject of a 2001 biography and a 2008 feature film of the same name, ''The Lena Baker Story.'' (It was later retitled ''Hope and Redemption: The Lena Baker Story.'')
