10- The reason of why Atlanta's unofficial slogan is "The city too busy to hate" is because during the Civil Rights Movement, it had no major acts of violence or civil unrest.
This city, capital of the state of Georgia, located in the southern United States (and therefore in the center of the conflict zone) did not have major acts of violence or agitation during the Civil Rights Movement, although, for For example, the headquarters of the SCLC was there.
Because of this situation, and due to the fact that Atlanta is the main headquarters of several multinational companies such as Coca Cola, AT & T, Delta Airlines and many others, it is that this nickname was given to the city (it is very busy doing business to hate and get involved in violent acts).
11- Lester Maddox took action against the progression of the Civil Rights Movement closing his restaurant because he refused to serve blacks after integration was passed.
Despite the new Civil Rights Act at the federal level, Maddox remained faithful to the ideas of racial segregation. He announced to all the world that he would shut down his restaurant rather than open it to black people. As a result, there were demonstrations in front of his restaurant raised by civil rights activists.
12- Georgia's Supreme Court ruled that Melvin E. Thompson would took office because, as the lieutenant governor, he would assume the position in case of death of the governor.
This decision of the Court was dated March 1947. The Court established a new election for November 1948, in which Herman Talmadge, the son of the deceased governor-elect, was elected governor of Georgia.
