Book excerpt: Hornsby (history, Morehouse College) and Henderson (history, Clark Atlanta U.) examine the history of the Atlanta Urban League, the first and most prominent of the southern affiliates of the National Urban League. With that alliance in 1920 came ongoing concerns about how "political" the Atlanta affiliate could be without jeopardizing its important work in securing employment opportunities and providing social services. Although the city was a major education and commercial center for African Americans, and had a successful middle class, it also was home to many without opportunities other than those offered by the League. Hornsby and Henderson describe the successes and controversies of the Atlanta branch from the interwar period through World War II, during the civil rights revolution, and into the post civil rights era, and the startling changes wrought by two of its leaders, Grace Towns Hamilton and Lyndon Wade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race and the Greening of Atlanta turns an environmental lens on Atlanta’s ascent to thriving capital of the Sunbelt over the twentieth century. Uniquely wide ranging in scale, from the city’s variegated neighborhoods up to its place in regional and national political economies, this book reinterprets the fall of Jim Crow as a democratization born of two metropolitan movements: a well-known one for civil rights and a lesser known one on behalf of “the environment.” Arising out of Atlanta’s Black and white middle classes respectively, both movements owed much to New Deal capitalism’s undermining of concentrated wealth and power, if not racial segregation, in the Jim Crow South. Placing these two movements on the same historical page, Christopher C. Sellers spotlights those environmental inequities, ideals, and provocations that catalyzed their divergent political projects. He then follows the intermittent, sometimes vital alliances they struck as civil rights activists tackled poverty, as a new environmental state arose, and as Black politicians began winning elections. Into the 1980s, as a wealth-concentrating style of capitalism returned to the city and Atlanta became a national “poster child” for sprawl, the seedbeds spread both for a national environmental justice movement and for an influential new style of antistatism. Sellers contends that this new conservativism, sweeping the South with an antienvironmentalism and budding white nationalism that echoed the region’s Jim Crow past, once again challenged the democracy Atlantans had achieved.
