About 1906 Atlanta

In 1906, the city of Atlanta, Georgia was the most modern and prosperous Southern city in America. It was the nation's second fastest growing city. Only Los Angeles was growing faster.

But in the fall of 1906, tensions between the White and Black American communities exploded into an armed conflict that changed the city, and this country, forever.

RIOT! 1906 Atlanta is the story of what happened there.
