Race and the Shaping of Twentieth Century Atlanfa
By Ronald H. Bayor
University of North Carolina Press
$29.95 hardcover
Atlanta is often cited as a prime example of a progressive
New South metropolis in which blacks and whites have
forged “a city too busy to hate.” But Atlanta historian Ronald
H. Bayor argues in the first comprehensive history of race
relations in the city that there has been a significant gap

between rhetoric and reality.
In Race and the Shaping of Twentieth-Century Atlanta
(University of North Carolina Press, $29.95), Bayor main
tains that the city continues to bear the indelible mark of
racial bias. He focuses on frequently ignored public policy
issues, such as hospital care, highway placement and devel
opment, police and fire services, schools, park use; housing
patterns and employment.
Racial concerns profoundly shaped Atlanta, Bayor says,
Just as they did in other American cities. He demonstrates,
for example, that as lunch counters were being integrated
there in the 19605, patterns of housing segregation were
becoming more pronounced. He alsocharts what has amounted
to the resegregation of Atlanta’s public school system.
Bayor notes as an example that some highways and roads
in Atlanta were built as racial barriers designed to maintain
segregation and divide the city. He maintains that the laying
out of these roads, the abandonment of others so that traffic
would be cut between white and black neighborhoods, and the
use of paving to control black migration, all done decades ago,
continues to affect the city in numerous ways, including
traffic flow, the maintenance of divisions in the city, city
expansion in certain directions, and the endurance of racial
segregation.
Ironically, Atlanta is and has been home to a number of
prominent national civil rights organizations — including the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee — and is also the na
tion’s center of African-American higher education. Some of
the nation’s greatest civil rights leaders have called Atlanta
home, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Maynard Jackson and
Andrew Young.
Bayor traces how this vibrant black community and its
leadership have responded to the impact of race on local
urban development. He says that the growth of Atlanta’s
African-American community, its opposition to various city
plans and programs, and the forging of its own priorities and
policies were all part ¢/’ the process by which race shaped the
city.
While the election of black mayors and other city officials
has improved conditions for Atlanta’s African Americans,
Bayor says, it has not solved the problems that developed
under decades of white administrators nor eliminated race as
a factor in policymaking.
Bayor teaches history at the Georgia Institute of Technol
ogy.
