As I revealed a few weeks ago, Porsha Williams-Stewart is the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta and will be making her mark on the 5th Season of the show.

Due to her family’s extensive history in Atlanta, I thought it would be great to offer those of you who DON’T know a lil Atlanta history lesson on Porsha’s grandfather, the late great Hosea Williams.
Williams passed away in 2000, but in 1998, he gave a tour of Atlanta to Dough Richards of WAGA-TV Fox5.
Watch the classic video below + learn a few pertinent details about the Atlanta legend whose granddaughter is the newest “housewife”…
VIDEO: Hosea Williams Gives Tour of Atlanta (1998)
The civil rights agitator, former city councilman and Atlanta raconteur gives a tour of his hometown, circa 1998. Aired on WAGA-TV. Reporter: Doug Richards.
While he’s best known for Hosea Feed The Hungry, an Atlanta initiative that famously feeds thousands during the holiday seasons, Williams led two marches in Forsyth County, Georgia back in 1987.
At that time, Forsyth had refused to honor the holiday of late Martin Luther King, Jr. after it had officially been designated as a national holiday. Williams and his group of demonstrators peacefully marched in protest, but were attacked by several hundred members of the Ku Klux Klan. A 2nd march was held that same year in protest of Klan activities in the county, it was attended over 20,000 (including Coretta Scott King) and was held without incident largely due to an enormous showing of police and sheriff department officers, plus nationwide coverage.
Forsyth County began to slowly integrate in the following years due the expansion of the Atlanta suburbs and the availability of reasonably priced housing. Forsyth is no longer considered merely an exurb of Atlanta but is a rapidly growing suburb.
Williams was very well known and loved around Atlanta and his name is listed amongst the hometown civil rights advocates of his time.

That being said… someone should probably tell Porsha’s fellow RHOA Kenya Moore to watch how she treats Atlanta’s “princess”.
Word on the curb is that Moore has been treating Porsha “like Nene used to treat Kim.” Apparently Kenya has took on Leakes’ former role as the B*I*T*C*H* this season and has been “bullying” Stewart. That’s not to say that Porsha can’t hold her own, but my sources say that Kenya’s “strong personality” is no match for her fellow newbie and that she treats her horribly for no good reason.
On the outside looking in, I could see how there might be a bit of jealousy involved in Kenya’s actions. Stewart is clearly younger, prettier, well connected and most importantly…. she’s a “REAL” real housewife because she’s actually MARRIED.
It will be quite interesting to see how this season phases Nene’s “bitchiness” out and Kenya’s in.
Will Porsha keep it “classy”? I guess we’ll have to just wait and see…

Hilarious-Ness!! Porsha Williams Performs ‘Flatline’ LIVE Onstage… [VIDEO]
Both Kenya and Porsha are pretty in different ways.
Kenya is giving major face in the group pic. She is beautiful. Hope her attitude matches her looks.
I agree Kenya is so stunning. That woman does does not age. She doesn’t even match this group at all. She looks like she is 25 at 40. A gorgeous woman no doubt.
I just hope she does not clown and act a fool on that show and give the family a bad name for a few coins, Mr Williams was a great man.
I agree. And Kandi and High Class Phadra are leading the Stripper movement. Sad
I said the same..especially due to editing..i’m sure she will show class..there are ways to shut down your enemy w/out being a bitch
How?
I am sure Hosea is turning over in his grave. Not a good look for the family!!! Porche leave this mess alone. Go someone and feed somebody. This is disgraceful.
Nice Post! Too Bad ATL is now know as the Mecca of Gays and Strippers and The most horrible Reality Shows on TV!
Sadly this is true. When I tell my friends I live in ATL for 6 months out of the year they say things like "girl dont catch nothing from them down low brothers" and "I didnt know you could strip for 6 months at a time". I know they joking but all the jokes are about gays, strippers, rachet women, Lil Scrapy-ish type straight guys and butt naked antics in the club (thanks WSHH).
That’s exactly what it’s known for. "Atlanta is full of gay black men."
Pretty Girl. Probably went to Spelman College.
She’s cute. Not memorable… I went to high school with her sister who is very smart. Porsha did not go to college as far as I know. She wants to sing and she has been known to sleep around for tracks. IDK why anyone with skeletons like hers would go on a horrible reality show.
Her family must be mortified and embarrassed. She might be married but there have been rumours for years about her husband being gay. But hell i guess they both don’t work so someone needed a job.
Spill that tea, gurl!
LMFAO @ Porscha sleeping around for tracks. Weave tracks or music tracks!LMAO
Kenya is gonna mess around and get her azz whooped! She needs to check her stank attitude. Pretty on the outside, but ugly on the inside.
So true. I heard her on V 103 and that pagent win has went straight to her head. That was years ago so she need to let it go. Her attitude really does suck.
Her head is huge. Literally.
She should NOT wear her hair pulled back.
More like decades ago!!! (LOL) she’s an old stunt queen!
Look at Kenya’s eyes. So, so beautiful.
I could see how Kenya would be jealous. She’s a prostitute. Wouldn’t you be bitter if you were a prostitute?
One of them looks like Andre 3000
Now I’m in no way checking for Kenya, but Michelle, stop playing-Porsha is in no way prettier than Kenya. One thing that can be said for Miss USA is that she is gorgeous-that’s why her ugly attitude is so appalling. I’ve heard of Porsha’s grandfather before, and it is a shame she will even consider tarnishing the family image-all that money and she still gotta be seen. Real "rich" house wifes are lo-key and content with being paid and not heard. That’s the difference between old money and new money.
Exactly!
Younger has nothing to do with it. Kenya is way more gorgeous than Porsha get real. She may have that inside beauty but outside No!!
What has she done for herself besides pull her dress up and panties down??
and she is as dumb as a box of rocks!
I agree. Watching her communicate is painful!
Lol @ lisa & chris!!!!!
Porsha is not prettier. Kenya is absolutely stunning. She is extemely beautiful.
Kenya’s facial skin feels looks like leather and feels like wood
To me it’s a no-brainer. Kenya is a knock-down, drag out naturally beautiful woman. Porsha is a cute girl as long as she’s "all done up"? Why would Kenya be jealous of a girl whose major "accomplishments" are being the granddaughter of a civil rights legend (who I respected to the max)and marrying a former ball player who treats her like crap?
Yes, she is an airhead and DUMB
No
What has she done? We all have folks in our families missing a few screws!
No she can´t help her husband Gay! She getting it together. ..it seems LoL
Great article on an unsung hero of Atlanta!
His legacy is HIS!! She´s not marching not one step on his behalf so the only legacy she could tarnish is her own.
I don´t see anything she has done to disrespect his legacy. Oh what a world it would be if people saw their own flaws as easily as they seem to see others!!
I´ve taken a vote from all the black people in America & we voted to removed Porsha Williams out of the black race.
^^^^LMBO! Chappell Show!
She sat black people back a 100 years!
She, of all people, should be extremely knowledgeable about our history smh
airhead
Remove her from the show please! That´s horrible she embarrassed us all!! Beauty no brains
I felt sooooo embarrassed for The Williams´ family last night. I like porsha so don´t get me wrong, but she really did not need to open her mouth last night.
Smh
She was looking for the TRACKS !!! Omg…Smh…and she said people called her stupid !!
Wendy´s gonna have a GOOD TIME with this !!
I was done when she said who was driving the train? they had to get and out….she set the civil rights movement back 50 years
Idiot but the only march she marched in 25 years ago would have been the march on Forsyth county Im crying bullshit on that at six they had you in the middle of a volatile situation like that her mother doesn´t seem like the type to do that
Porsha, Porsha, Posha! God we do better when we know better.
shame shame.
Black blond…lol
Purely Disgraceful!
If Porsha is Atlantas princess then a court jester is on the throne! Loll
With a straight face though. She was like they weren´t electric like we have today.
How she gonna clean this one up…. My kids even know about the URR…. Come on gurl!!!
Porsha needs to learn that cute is only temporary but dumb is forever! She´s almost 30 its not attractive to be soooo stupid!!! When she turns 70 and she´s no longer cute, firm, and tight. This chick still gonna be dumb as a box of rocks!!!
You mean you knew nothing of your parents parents? O.o Girl Sit Yo Ass Down!
Talking bout she remembers marching with her grandfather and people throwing rocks at them. Maybe a few of those rocks smacked her in her head. Which would explain why she´s so stupid
She is 32 years dumb …..shame
Im sure her being an airhead was a reason why Kordell could easily control her.
Minyah, im weak! lol.
I felt sorry for her, but then she KEPT talking!!! I woulda shut my mouth quick!! Or said girl im just playing,, i knew that!!
Her ex was rotfl last night!! Smh
This explains a lot..Kordel had no choice.smdh…she still wouldn´t shetup even after Kandi n Phaedra tried to help her out of that embarrassing moment.take your alimony checks n return to school stop buying shoes u don´t need a stylist you dam sure don´t need to be on tv.stop being pretty it´s not looking cute.now NAACP may boycott the show.yo ignant ass should be ashame.
In regard to the link: Kenya treats Porsha like shit because she is a dumbass….who likes a dumbass???
Kenya is a dumbass, for sure..
Her grandfather is rolling over in his grave
Dumb hoe.
Poor Hosea is probably up there saying, ´hey, Martin, Malcom…I swear…I don´t even KNOW her!´
She definitely didnt read any books or pay attention in history class or Literature. SMH lookin pretty and dumb is not cute!
Beauty is only skin Deep! Knowledge is everything!
Lmao i gues now you see how Porsha addition to the show play out.a author couldn´t have written this gurl story any.better or worse.
Who was driving the train?
There is special and there is really special. I quite honestly dont believe she is that naive and she is just being a blonde for the camera (cough for rating?)
I couldn´t even laugh because it was so shameful and embarrassing! She was SERIOUS
Well she was not born, when they were throwing rocks, she is an idiot.beauty is fleeting, dumb is forever….
Duane Harris, she is not clever enough , to go there..
Yeah I couldn´t laugh either this was VERY sad to me..I was hoping she was playing at first but to find out she was so serious was very upsetting!
This is a true walking talking IDIOT!!!
Her parent should be a shame of producing such an IDIOT!!!
Thats prolly why kordell left her ass..He couldnt take the stupidity…smh!
she dumb ass shyt.. no excuse for that
I dont watch this dumb ass show anyway
Alot of young people don´t know about the struggle of black people that´s why they don´t care about nothing and take everything for granted
She was so embarrassing… and what made is worse was even after Kandi and Phaedra tried to tell her it was not a real railroad with a train… she kept talking… smh. Shame.
That was shameless ! Know your history !!!
If my daughter were that dumb, i would advise her to dress to impress, look pretty, smile and keep your freakin mouth shut!!! But thank God i didn´t have to have that lesson! The good Reverend Dr. Hosea Williams to flipping in his eternal resting place to have such an ignorant grandchild…on display!
smh…
I see why Queen Kordell treated her like a kid, cause she acts like one.
Future plans for the show are to cut Porsche out. At first I felt a little sad about the news of the cut. After seeing her take on the Underground Railroad the chopping block needs to definitely happen to Porsche.
stupid as shit. all. looks.no.. no. brain
The whole show was an Embarrassment lastnite…btw just read on E! that Porsche will not return next season!
It´s her moms fault that should have been taught to her as a child. She is from the south they don´t teach any black history in those schools
Leave this child alone
I slap the tv, trying to slap her face. #sillyrabbit
Sad Sad Sad! I feel so sorry for her. You would think that she would have asked that question before then! I believe her mom trained her up to do just what she did – latch on to a so-called “rich” man that would take of her.
She was born in the 80´s so I don´t kno who she remembered THROWIN rocks at her, probably her own people in the neighborhood & one of the first facts about our history we learn from a child is about Harriet Tubman & the Underground Railroad I guess she NEVA went to school either…An her peoples was a civil rights leader I don´t believe it
She is too dumb smdh
That´s the most unattractive thing u can be…and that´s dumb!!!!! Really porsha?????
She is such a HUGE disgrace and disappointment to the legacy of her beloved grandfather. She acts like she´s encompassing everything of what dumb blond characteristics have been portrayed.
she sound like a nut!!!! and pretty dumb,not knowing Black History
Please we continue to have black folks that don´t know anything about their history today but believe what someone else states instead of doing the research!
I really couldn´t believe what I wad hearing from porsha…and your grandfather been civil rights girl u just should have said nothing for real….just sad
Ole Cordel´s not looking so crazy after all now is he?
Dunce!!!! This chick needs to brush up on her history while she´s so busy trying to tell somebody about their marriage!!! #dumbblonde
What a disgrace! I was ashamed for her! Smh
That´s my girl, LOVE me some Porsha Will. But I actually agree with Kenya´s rude ass- its hurtful that she´s not knowledgeable about her grandfather´s legacy
People are asking did she read our history…my question is can she read? She has no clue!
I can only think that maybe she is playing a role on TV. She is a very good example of a women who wants to use her looks to get everything
SMH!! Embarrassing
Wow! That´s so sad! They Media is making a mockery out of her…smh
yes it has!
YES!!
Her lack of intelligence did that…and the underground railroad thing surely didn´t help the cause.
NO….she is not him…and vice versa
She is a dummy….a black blond lol
Yes it has! Especially since she is not the sharpest tool in the box. That makes it worse.
Ppl always want a reason to judge KNOWING THEIR BACK DOOR IS OF SHAMBLES STFU
No..he was who he was..she is who she is. Stop judging.
No.
Yes. My grandfather is the second black man to ever captain an ivy league football team and is in the hall of fame at Cornell university. I would never go on tv and embarrass my grandfather the way Porsha has. What a disgrace.
Lol she mad^^^
I blame porsha´ s parents, they should´ve taught her well.
She has totally dishonored his name r
She´s an idiot
Yes
Especially the lack of knowledge on the Underground Railroad
WHO.GIVES.A.FUCK? It´s not the end of the world chick didn´t know about the goddam Underground Railroad. Most of y´all muthafuckas too busy talking shit rather than trying to teach and uplift people. Old hatin´ asses. Y´all act like y´all personally escaped in it, or know someone who did. Shut y´all asses up sometimes. LOL!!
Yall need to stop calling her dumb because of a human error!! You call her dumb yet this chic has a reality show, hair line, doing multiple interviews because she´s she´s a factor, has a single on ITunes and has did a play. Oh it´s so much more yet you got so much negative to say bout her. Kick rocks!! Get on Porsha level!! OAN a dumb comment don´t change history or her grandfather legacy.
Obviously she´s on the attack of Porsha.
Absolutely she should be furthering her education instead of making a mockery of her pedigree
Nope, she´s her own person.
Wow didnt know he was her Grandfather She outta pocket for real. I ve feed the homeless Every Thanksgiving in Hosea Name…..
Tina SO Blessed Terry you said DAT!! I guess they mad lol
@Micah Esera,,, I was on my way to sleep u got me rotflhhhhhhh,, damn!!!
So did Malcolm X´s Fam & MLKJ´s Fam tarnished theirs? I should say not!
No it hasnt, Hosea Williams was a good friend to my family and colleague of my dads, no she doesn´t. His work speaks for itself
Porsha is a human being with flaws like everyone else. Yes she has done and said some extremely stupid things but she´s not a stupid person and her single handed actions did not make her family name and it will not breal it #LetHerLive Damn!…also yall know damn well yall would´ve popped the shit out of Kenya if you were put in her situation #ijs
She and her grandfather are two different people. I don´t see how she has discredited anything that he has achieved.
Liz Jaxson you got that right..She is a true DISGRACE that try so hard to be FAMOUS..
Some will sale their souls to the devil for an oz of ATTENTION..
You represent your grandfather very well..
I know he is PROUD of you..
No because not a lot of people are familiar with him (OR Porsha for that matter).
That’s just sad.
No! Life goes on. Don´t hate..
Only in America will people praise you for having a failed hair line seeking aliexpress hair, being slow enough not to know the underground railroad and being beautiful. Porsha please don´t procreate anytime soon. (You too Kenya)
im tired of her on my TL…bud bye
Ranae Sugar There´s no way she will know what procreate means!!!
She should go back to school
Hell no! One has nothing to do with the other. Most people like me who knew the man and worked with him don´t watch or care about this shameful show.
No she will be ok!
No… two different people
listen she has a right to live her life.
tarnished?? Hosea talked mo shiz than anybody and he backed it up..how can that be tarnished?? Stupid question…
No it hasn´t tarnish
She just made a mistake,so can we all move on
No not at all
I do know this if you are going to run around talking about your grandfather Is a civil rights activist, you should know that the underground railroad was not an actual train. And there are 365 days in a year not 265 days. She set the tone for her stupidity.
Not in fact she has brought more intreg!
I don´t connect the two.. he did what he did and she is who she is… how could this tarnish his legacy? What Hosea Williams has done for civil rights in no way will be tarnished by Porsha Williams…
Both women made fools of themselves. They are both to blame. There´s nothing right about the situation.
No Porsha is young shes got a long way to go
Not at all!!! She made a mistake! Who´s Perfect?
For some reason, its so hard to believe Porsha has the same gene pool as this intelligent Civil Rights Icon!!
I doubt she even know who he is, other than that he is her grandad.
Please send this to Porsha.
I would be embarrassed if she was my grandchild, bitch is totally clueless!
I am pretty sure she is aware of who her grandfather is she just have some dumb moments on TV won’t be the first and definitely won’t be the last
She’s so embarrassing,didn’t even know what the Underground Railroad meant.
I’m sure this dumb chick knows that her granddad made history but don’t exactly know or understand what he did. Nevertheless her ratchetness on tv is not helping her grandads legacy.
He will now be known as an activist and the granddad of porsha the dumb thot
JDenise McAllister
this dumb bish aint said shit about a legacy since the first season she was on the show…that was just some kind of plot to get attention for her…and this dumb bish dont even know her history…do she even know who he is…can she spell it? cordell let her ass have it…spell that
Uncle Hosey was funny as hell and would pretty much say anything, but I know he rolled over in his grave at her Underground Railroad comments.
She probably don’t even know about his life or legacy… #dumbazz
