Desegregation of Atlanta

This exhibit follows the city of Atlanta, Georgia as it transitioned from segregation towards integration during the civil rights era, specifically focusing on four aspects within the city. It explores voter turnout and trends, transportation protests and freedom rides for integration, the desegregation of public schools and higher education, and racial implications for housing in Atlanta. The southern city transformed from one of isolation and segregation to one that is now known for its peaceful integration and tolerance of diversity.
