Talk:John Wesley Dobbs

Don't Make Someone Out to be More than they Really Are
Saying that John Wesley Dobbs was the 'mayor' of Auburn (a neighborhood, not a city) and the 'counterpart' to William B. Hartsfield smacks of a lack of proportionality. Very people non-black people even heard of this man until Maynard Jackson renamed Houston Street 'John Wesley Dobbs Avenue'...a move that smacked of 'cronyism' since the two were related.

On the other side, why was the article for Alonzo Herndon deleted? (I just re-started it). That is someone who is well-known among both the black and white communities... Ryoung122 07:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I have rewritten the article to reflect a neutral point of view and included more references. A Softer Answer (talk) 18:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
