Atlanta’s Intersection of Racism, Housing, Education and Employment Sample Clauses

Atlanta’s Intersection of Racism, Housing, Education and Employment. Racism throughout Atlanta’s post-Civil War history inflicted economic damage on African Americans and the city through a continuous downward cycle that intertwined housing issues with education and employment. In the 1960s, many white residents in Atlanta moved to surrounding areas like Xxxxx Springs where they could consolidate their economic and political power.
