Sponsored by an interracial and ecumenical ministerial group, the play was designed to ease racial tensions in the aftermath of King\u2019s death. Hailed by the local and national press at the time as a breakthrough in southern race relations, the event has long since been forgotten both in civil rights history, as well as Atlanta\u2019s history. It represents a fascinating moment in which to explore the racial and spiritual crisis in the white and black community in civil rights-era Atlanta.\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAtlanta Studies is proud to host an annual symposium that tackles social, cultural, environmental, and economic issues facing Atlanta.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"We invite scholars and activists to learn from and act on research about Atlanta\u2019s mobilities, including that of its central city and the broader metropolitan area."}],"uid":"28044","created_gmt":"2016-04-28 09:33:37","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:15:55","author":"Jessie Brandon","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-05-11T09:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-05-11T20:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-05-11T20:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-05-11 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-05-12 00:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-05-12 00:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"518331":{"id":"518331","type":"image","title":"Downtown Atlanta","body":null,"created":"1459274540","gmt_created":"2016-03-29 18:02:20","changed":"1475895284","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:54:44","alt":"Downtown Atlanta","file":{"fid":"205199","name":"traffic.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/traffic_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/traffic_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":668428,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/traffic_0.jpg?itok=_fU2QQSI"}}},"media_ids":["518331"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"},{"id":"1260","name":"CQGRD - Center for Quality Growth and Regional Development"},{"id":"48996","name":"School of Architecture"},{"id":"60380","name":"CSPAV - Center for Spatial Planning Analytics and Visualization"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
