Atlanta's African American community has been an integral part of the city of Atlanta since before the Civil War. Segregated by Jim Crow laws, Atlanta's black population developed a network of independent businesses, churches, and community institutions, including a remarkable cluster of five black colleges around Atlanta University. Auburn Avenue was considered the nucleus of Atlanta's Black business community.
