As rapper Andre 3000 from the Atlanta-based duo Outkast proclaimed to the world during the 1995 Source Awards: “The South got something to say!” For Season 2 of the BLK IRL Podcast, Anuli travels to Atlanta, GA to learn more about the local tensions between "Old Atlanta'' and "New Atlanta'' that began to take root in the 1990s as the city prepared its bid to host the 1996 Olympic Games and how Atlanta has since evolved to become one of America’s cultural capitals.
In this episode, Anuli talks to documentary filmmaker, journalist, and podcast host King Williams about the history of gentrification in Atlanta, the tangled relationship between Atlanta and Decatur, and the Great (Re)Migration of Black people (myself included) from the American North to the American South, among a host of other topics.
