ATL Mayor Calls Out Democratic National Convention After Being Left Out Host City Finalists

The letter in part reads, “They are afraid to leave their comfort zone and blind to the fact that the South is the answer. They are abandoning Atlanta, abandoning the South, and once again abandoning Black voters.”
