I still remember all the talk of this when I was growing up. My dad had friends who lost relatives on that plane. It was a very sad day but also a day we Atlantans should always remember, especially the art community.
Hi, Can you research the worst accident in Athens Ga, 1960's? My aunt & a car full of friends perished after being knocked off a bridge by a 18 wheeler. I would love to know more about what happened, since I never had the chance to meet her..😥
Atlanta has never had a population of a million people unless the metro area is counted and in 1962 the metro area would be hard pressed to have a million people
@dawgyinafield In my written statement I wrote 31 words, none were city. I wrote metro twice, never a misspelling for metro or any other word. Also I never edited my statement. I think we were agreeing mostly on the same while on the same wave length.
4:15 this was the atlanta of my childhood: i never saw any White/Colored bathroom, water fountain, lunch counter ... we LIVED content of character, per MLK
From Wikipedia: On December 1, 1963, when asked to comment on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X said that it was a case of "chickens coming home to roost." ... and then: Throughout 1964, his conflict with the Nation of Islam intensified, and he was repeatedly sent death threats. On February 21, 1965, he was assassinated in New York City. More homeward-bound chickens. More roosting. WHOSE/WHAT'S JUDGEMENT ON WHOM/WHAT?
Such a tragedy. Thank you for sharing their stories.

Thank you for posting this. I moved to Georgia 40 years ago and had no idea this happened.

Really didn't know anything about this thanks as always on the informative information
Not talking about tragedies like death in a plane crash outside of official memorials was just how people dealt with trauma at that time.
I was 9 Y/O remember the announcement.

@@annhamilton7319 well…the white power structure was and is still in place
Just wondering, was this the plane crash that got Malcolm X in trouble by his leader for saying, "the chickens has come home to roost"?
Yes. He at least was pleased at the news.
It was the aftermath of the JFK assassination that prompted Malcolm X to make that statement...
I thought this was something important. I was disappointed.
As the great EL HAJJ MALIK EL SHABAZZ (MALCOLM X) stated as well as by EVANGELIST BILLY GRAHAM:
"THIS IS GOD'S JUDGEMENT ON AMERICA!!"

More homeward-bound chickens. More roosting.
