East Cobb in the Atlanta area.
Which is kind of funny in itself because Ty Cobb is quite unfairly painted as a racist through the lens of today. He was just plain mean spirited but I see no evidence that he single blacks out for his fits of rage.
As I understand it, Cobb built a hospital for blacks and staffed it with black doctors that still exists (in its desegregated form) in Atlanta today.

Supposedly he had several incidents where he physically attacked black people.
