Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn A Saga of Race and Family

"...Gary Pomerantz's solid, serviceable history shows that the lives of black and white Atlantans seldom connected on any but the most superficial level before the Civil Rights movement breached the iron curtain of segregation. [He]...traces the city's post-Civil War evolution through the stories of one black and one white family in a text that is always informative...Pomerantz lays out his themes carefully, weaving together the stories of the Dobbs-Jackson and Allen clans, as well as the history of Atlanta, in a readable, well-organized narrative."Pomerantz, Gary M. is the author of 'Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn A Saga of Race and Family', published 1997 under ISBN 9780140265095 and ISBN 0140265090.
