During my time at the Atlanta Center of History i learned some grim knowledge of the city's past. There had been a race riot in the early 1900s that completely divided the city into all out chaos with a white versus black brawl ending in bloodshed on both sides. This was the after the civil war and after emancipation yet hearsay is all the validation hundreds of whites citizens of Atlanta needed in order to kill over hundreds of Black male citizens. This was a time not too long ago.
