In 1973, as a result of support from a few influential African American business leaders and his growing popularity with African American voters, Maynard Jackson decided to run for mayor. Although he was just thirty-five, he became the first African American mayor of a large Southern city. He won the race with almost 60 percent of the vote. Jackson is best known for improving opportunities for African Americans to do business with the City of Atlanta . . . .
