X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>GSU faculty member Maurice J. Hobson will 
 present and discuss his work The Legend of the Black Mecca: Politics and C
 lass in the Making of Modern Atlanta.</p>\n<p>For more than a century\, th
 e city of Atlanta has been associated with black achievement in education\
 , business\, politics\, media\, and music\, earning it the nickname the bl
 ack Mecca.&nbsp\; Atlanta's long tradition of black education dates back t
 o Reconstruction\, and produced an elite that flourished in spite of Jim C
 row\, rose to leadership during the civil rights movement\, and then took 
 power in the 1970s by building a coalition between white progressives\, bu
 siness interests\, and black&nbsp\;Atlantans. In his book Professor&nbsp\;
 Hobson&nbsp\;portrays a striking schism between the black political elite 
 and poor city-dwellers\, complicating the long-held view of Atlanta as a m
 ecca for black people.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>To register\, visit <a hre
