The Georgia Association of Educators is a union of public school educators in Georgia. It was established in 1970 when the Georgia Teachers and Education Association, which was black-only at the time (established in 1933 by Joseph Winthrop Holley), merged with the all-white Georgia Education Association.{{Cite news |url=https://www.myajc.com/entertainment/books--literature/emory-professor-examines-how-school-desegregation-went-wrong/xVz9XRX5HQKlifbejPPeRM/ |title=Emory professor examines how school desegregation went wrong |last=Tuttle |first=Kate |date=2018-07-28 |work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution |access-date=2019-03-09 |language=English}} It is a state affiliate of the National Education Association.
