- View of Hosea Williams (left), a civil rights activist working with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and Al Horn (right), a civil rights attorney, speaking at a press conference in support of Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell (not pictured) in his re-election campaign against Atlanta Vice Mayor Maynard Jackson (not pictured), at Atlanta City Hall in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
Sam Massell is a former Mayor of Atlanta who served in that office from 1970-1974. He was vice mayor from 1962-1970. He is credited with establishing MARTA, Atlanta's mass transit system, and for pioneering minority opportunities in city government.
