Atlanta Scenes A Must
The Atlanta History Center's 'Atlanta Scenes' is a superb pictorial panorama of Atlanta, from the ordinary scene of a family waiting for the arrival of their son after the Korean War to the sparkling smile of Clark Gable. The grandeur and hospitality of the Deep South are captured alongside the brutality of Jim Crow and segregation. See Dr. Martin Luther King, Governor Eugene Talmadge and other public figures who shaped the South and the country. Witness Atlanta's transformation from small Southern city to a leading capital of the New South. All the photographs in this volume were taken by award-winning photojournalists.
