Prior to the 1906 race riot, it was possible to find Black households throughout the city and within what were seen as white neighborhoods. As a result of the 1906 race riot, the dispersion of Black residents was much less apparent. The riot caused Black businesses to be forced out of the central business area of Atlanta.
During the early 20th century, a thriving Black business district was formed on Auburn Ave and became known as “Sweet Auburn.” However, real estate brokers blocked Black residential expansion along the periphery of the Auburn Ave businesses. This caused the relocation of Black residents to neighborhoods in the West and South of Atlanta.
The Black residents of Atlanta lived separately and unequally from whites with inadequate health care, employment, and schools.
