It should be acknowledged that no matter how vivid or dramatic a story is, the average person cannot know the frisson of coming face-to-face with the combined naked power of suspects Atlanta corporate boardrooms, Atlanta City Hall and the Georgia State Legislature. FREAKNIK’s troubles were retribution for demanding inheritance rights, bringing down the raft of the new/old southern hierarchy. The descendants of the denied demanded and expected entitlement. It was their blood-soaked inheritance from long-free labor. There is a cause-and-effect link between Freaknik, segregation, Civil Rights, and the history of Atlanta. The next generation of the civil rights movement wanted FREAKNIK. Instead, they got blasted by regentrification’s sabotage and distortion “smoking gun”.
