Located in the State of Georgia, Atlanta
is one of the major population centers
and production centers of what is still
called the “Old South”. It
is the state capital and is known for
its humid weather. During the American
Civil War it took quite a beating, and
was nearly burned to the ground. It was
later reconstructed and many in Atlanta
are very proud of the determined nature
of their state and their city. Atlanta
was used as the setting for the movie
“Gone With The Wind” and the
pedigrees that featured so heavily in
the move still have a role to play in
the Atlanta of today.

There
has always been an issue of race in Atlanta.
Many events that occurred in Atlanta during
the 20th century helped define the need
for equality in America. Atlanta was one
of the centers of the American Civil Right
Movement and was the birthplace of Martin
Luther King. When one asks both residents
and visitors about Atlanta one gets two
pictures. On one hand Atlanta is known
as a kind city, with a people that are
friendly and polite. On the other side
is a darker Atlanta, filled with conspiratorial
whispers and hidden underground business
connections. In reality Atlanta is like
any other city in the world, working hard
to get by in a world that won’t
stop changing.
