There Are Barely Any Black People Left in Atlanta—Here’s Why…..

Описание: Atlanta was once the beating heart of Black excellence. From the civil rights movement to cultural dominance in music, film, and politics, this city stood tall as a beacon of hope for Black America. But today, the soul of Atlanta is fading. Quietly. Deliberately.

Scope News investigates how immigration, gentrification, and political shifts have led to the slow erasure of Black communities. And how, in places once dominated by Black culture, a new wave of business, leadership, and demographics is changing everything—from downtown to the suburbs. This is the part no one wants to say out loud.
