Wonder who benefited from all that growth? Umm.......
Atlanta no mecca for most blacks:
"In the 1990s, Atlanta became known as a land of opportunity for black people. Or at least about a third of them.
According to a report issued Wednesday by a Clark Atlanta University think tank, a majority of the blacks in Atlanta have not made significant enough strides for a city known throughout as a destination for up-and-coming blacks.
'Very little progress had been made in the 1990s, despite the fact that there has been a lot of growth,' said Bob Holmes, director of the Southern Center for Studies in Public Policy. 'Atlanta being a mecca for blacks is true for only a third of the blacks in Atlanta.'"
