Atlanta (Pass by)
Atlanta Student Movement Street-The platform that I am entering this heading under would not allow me to write out Atlanta Students Movement Street. Maybe this platform is racially motivated. Come and see the street that changed the nation, Atlanta Student Movement Street. Atlanta University Students marched off their campus in protest to the city of Atlanta racial laws of 1960. Viator has no concept of Black histories in Atlanta, when I attempt to write about Black Atlanta, this is the heading I get, Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia. This is the year of 2023, I would expect more from this organisation.
