...other occupation have blacks made such strides as in politics. The number of black mayors has increased in the past year from 82 to 108, including Los Angeles' Thomas Bradley, Atlanta's Maynard Jackson and Detroit's Coleman Young. In Mississippi, where any Negro who had the temerity to run for office a decade ago might have been a candidate for a lynching, there are some 200 black elected officials...

Still, he will have to walk a careful line between black demands for increased social justice and white insistence on solidifying Atlanta's place as the South's commercial capital. While Jackson wants to eliminate police brutality and job discrimination, there is no evidence that he will automatically think black in a crisis.
