== African Americans In Atlanta ==

== Atlanta is known as an area of Black wealth, higher education, political power & culture (basically saying where blacks have grown into being “superior”). Through the growing of this city and many celebrities being birthed through it, the younger generation has seen it as a way to uplift the black community within the Hip-Hop culture. Other cities in America have been moved by Atlantas Black population and not only with it being the place people go to find a muse or belief in their music. ==

== Atlanta being known as a Mecca for the Black music Industry, like Hip-hop, and R&B because it has become the place where black artists have grown and been uplifted with their musical gifts. Some of these artists do not even originate from Atlanta, Georgia. Lil Durk who originates from Chicago, Illinois has found his career lifted because of his traveling to Atlanta. In this interview Lil Durk claims because of his move to Atlanta it genuinely helped his career and popularize his music. Seeing how he moved and his career set off due to move shows how other musicians from different cities go to Atlanta to boost their music career because of the energy put out from Atlanta. Going back to the roots of Atlanta being known as the Black Mecca also ties into the fact of how this city was truly the beginning of the prosperity for African Americans in aspects of education, finance, and politics which helped the Black community towards achievements they had never been able to reach before. It also goes into the time where the Civil Rights Movement was born and proceeded with and helped the reconstruction of black communities. ==
