I was so proud as I walked through Hartsfields-Jackson Airport...Quick history lesson. if it was not for The Honorable Maynard Jackson, Atlanta would not be what it is now. During Maynards first term, the government wanted a regional airport in the south. The choices Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis. Maynard battled so much racism and objection. He did not give up the fight. Atlanta millionaire of color came about because of Maynard. He forced unprecedented minority construction and vendor involvement by law. The rest is history, back then the airport was called: The airport Maynard built...Thanks Mr. Mayor..
