From Reconstruction to recent times, the middle-class black
leadership in Atlanta, while often subordinating class and gender
differences to forge a continuous campaign for equality,
successfully maintained its mantle of racial leadership for more
than a century through a deft combination of racial advocacy and
collaboration with local white business and political elites. Alton
Hornsby provides an analysis of how one of the most important
southern cities managed, adapted, and coped with the struggle for
racial justice, examining both traditional electoral politics as
well as the roles of non-elected individuals influential in the
community. Highlighting the terms of Maynard Jackson and Andrew
Young, the city's first two black mayors, Hornsby concludes by
raising important questions about the success of black political
power and whether it has translated into measurable economic power
for the African American community.
