This week in Cobb County history.

Born July 1, 1956: Grant Henry, Acworth-connected artist and entrepreneur

Born in 1956, Grant Henry, known as Sister Louisa, is an artist, bar owner, and former divinity student based in Atlanta, Georgia, who moved to Acworth in 1972. He graduated from North Cobb High School in 1974 and pursued degrees from various universities. His alter ego "Sister Louisa" gained recognition through art exhibitions starting in 1996, leading to the opening of his Atlanta gallery, Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room, in 2001. This establishment, known for its unique blend of bar culture and artistic expression, became a notable attraction in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward district, intertwining with the historical context of Martin Luther King Jr.'s childhood neighborhood. Sister Louisa's Church continues to engage patrons with its innovative and playful approach to art and entertainment.
