<p>I recall driving through Atlanta from Chicago during spring break 1976 and witnessing hooded klansmen passing out materials near an intersection. I’m sure Atlanta has many qualities, but it is in Georgia. Perhaps Emory is insulated from that as long as you remain on campus. Perhaps Atlanta is more progressive than the rest of the state. But the politicians they elect seems to suggest otherwise. If weather, social scenes and dorms are considerations, certainly the mindset permeating the state has to be weighed as well.</p>
