This journal article, titled "The University and Politics in Atlanta: A Case Study of the Atlanta University Center", authored by Robert A. Holmes, discusses the engagement of black colleges and universities in the social, economic, and political struggles of their communities. It addresses the criticism that these institutions remain detached from community issues by focusing on the Atlanta University Center (AUC) example. The article primarily examines the involvement of AUC's administrators, faculty, and students in the political life of Atlanta's black community during the post-World War II era. It highlights the need for practical engagement in addition to scholarly research and explores the dynamics of AUC's interaction with the local political landscape. The article acknowledges the limitations of a comprehensive analysis due to space constraints and focuses on the specified historical period. 18 pages.
