Seems the race pimps got away with this...

Meanwhile the crumbling sewers and infrastructure that were deteriorating whil maynard was mayor will cause water rates to at least triple in Atlanta. It would seem much more appropriate to name the sewer system after him.

So I still won't fly, if I can't drive take a train or boat, I ain't going.

The activists for Jackson spoke repeatedly and never expressed any concern for the man being dishonored. They couldn't care less. Their obvious position was that he is black and the other guy is white, black supercedes white on its PC face. Case closed. Who cares about the Hartsfield family?

[Who dat?]

Jackson, Atlanta's first African-American mayor, died June 23. He and William B. Hartsfield, the city's longest-serving mayor, were credited with the growth and expansion of what is now one of the world's busiest airports.

There was a documentary called “Startup.com” and Maynard Jackson was present briefly in a couple of shots as one of their BOD members.

He struck me as a scammer at the time… but then, so did several of the people involved in that company.

I’d recommend people see it if they happen to run across it. It was available at our public library in the special interest DVD section.

Maynard Jackson had jack-nothing to do with that airport other than funneling big contracts to his friends.

......blacks have been calling the shots in Atlanta for some time now.......they'll run that city into the ground before they're done......

What's next? The Lincoln-King Memorial because Dr. King once gave a speech there?

This name change seems to be in the same mold as the quota systems used to build and provide services to the airport. Minorities had to be awarded a percentage.

I am aware of one major contractor that set up a dummy corporation headed by a black in order to get one of the large contracts.

Can't they just get real and name a park or square or something else in the city for this guy?
