Archive Atlanta - Interracial Marriage

Interracial Marriage

Archive Atlanta

07/10/20 • 20 min

This week, we’re talking about interracial marriages, once more commonly referred to as miscegenation. While I always focus on Atlanta, there were also stories from cities across Georgia and even national events that impacted the lives of people in this city. Laws policing interracial relationships date back to colonial times and last through the 1960s, and it’s actually considered one of the longest lasting forms of legal discrimination in the US.

Zoo Atlanta is part of the lived experience of so many Atlantans, but I’m not sure that everyone knows how it started. From a small collection of local animals when the park was formed, to the defunct circus in 1889, to a Candler boost in 1935. We’re going to talk about the famous animals, the controversies, the decline and then later re-emergence of the zoo.

Forward Atlanta was a multi-million dollar marketing campaign launched by the City of Atlanta in the 1920s that is still influencing the city in 2022. I hope by the end of this short episode you can understand how important this campaign was, how it ties into the reason that Atlanta today is so quick to forget and suppress its past, and how we are still in the big business of selling our city to outside industry.
