1960-1969

An article in the Atlanta Inquirer by Lonnie King notes Atlanta appears to have calmed down after the student-led protests. However, the desegregation of lunch counters and equal hiring practices for Black individuals are still outstanding issues. Removing discriminatory signs from public spaces and accepting freedom as a permanent part of Atlanta's future is necessary before progress can be made. The fight against discrimination requires ongoing effort and donations to organizations such as the NAACP and SCLC to continue the struggle. 1 page.
