In \u003ci\u003eWhere Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn\u003c\/i\u003e, Gary M. Pomerantz traces five generations of two families—the Allens, descended from slave owners, and the Dobbses, from slaves. These families produced the two most influential mayors of the modern South, Ivan Allen Jr., and Maynard Jackson Jr.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Through hundreds of interviews and five years of painstaking research, Pomerantz shows how the families rose to social, economic, and political prominence. But he also demonstrates how their interesting lives paralleled the shifting relations between Atlanta’s blacks and whites as the city grew to become the capital of the New South. It is a representative story of the transformation of a city and the entire south.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49346692546864,"sku":"BDglm1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49346692612400,"sku":"10glm1","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/glm1-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773706957","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-glm1","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
