Henry Woodfin Grady (May 24, 1850 – December 23, 1889) was an American journalist and orator who helped reintegrate the states of the Confederacy into the Union after the American Civil War. Grady encouraged the industrialization of the South. He has been accused of preaching white supremacy, though Atlanta journalists including Norman Shavin and Bruce Galphin in their history of the city, Atlanta: Triumph of a People, never describe him that way. Rather, Shavin and Galphin wrote: "He was a civic promoter, a political strategist and an eloquent platform speaker who brilliantly captivated Northerners and Southerners alike as he envisioned a great future for his region while loving the memory of the old South." Atlanta journalist Frederick Allen, in his book Atlanta Rising, described Grady as a visionary. Comments definitively labeling Grady a racist led to desecration in June 2020 of the family grave site in Atlanta. Grady was the father-in-law of Federal Reserve Chairman Eugene Robert Black and grandfather of banker and World Bank President Eugene R. Black Sr.
