Summary
This study shows that long before 'black power' emerged and gave black dissent from the mainstream civil rights agenda, African Americans in Atlanta questioned the meaning of equality and the steps necessary to obtain a share of the American dream. The book uncovers the activism of visionaries - both well-known figures and unsung citizens - from across the ideological spectrum who sought something different from, or more complicated than, 'integration'. The text documents debates over politics, housing, public accommodations, and schools.
