Richard Utz Chair and Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology published an essay, "Cupid at the Castle: Romance, Medievalism, and Race in Atlanta's Rhodes Hall," in The Public Medievalist.

In his article, Utz discusses Rhodes Hall on Peachtree Street as an icon of the Atlanta skyline, and one of the city’s most popular wedding venues. But the fairy-tale castle has a secret: a past steeped in neo-Confederate thought, where leaders of the Klan are revered like saints in its stained glass windows.
