| Research Abstract |
This project is an attempt to show how in the 1960s and 1970s the privileged and the underprivileged tried to use urban development projects to build fairer relationships in post-war Atlanta. By looking at how such groups as affluent white homeowners, African-American domestic workers, environmentalists, and student activists supported public transit plan in the 1971 referendum, this project sheds light on how they overcame their differences to produce a consensus in support of the plan, yet how that same compromise also bore the origins of future conflict in the form of racial and class fissures. This later discord arose because each group, but particularly the privileged, understood the term public on their own terms and used it as a way to preserve their vested interests. Thus, this project contends that, despite its current reputation as a global city, Atlanta remains divided.
