The June 16, 2013 edition of the Atlanta Progressive News has
an interesting article about Race, Poverty and Non-Profits in Atlanta.
I am no fan of Atlanta, but Matthew Cardinale has a "devastating
critique" of the city and the leading non-profits. He makes the point
that Atlanta Georgia is the "birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement"
with the King Center a wealth of history in the new Capital of the
South, but is also the city that has led a war on poor people. He
lists an amazing resuscitation of crimes against the poor by the City of
Atlanta including prioritizing both the public hospital and the
schools, destroying public housing, and making it illegal to be visibly
homeless.
