For one, the cliche of black political organizers facing off against white corporate elites doesn't fit. The black candidates include a former real estate corporate vice president, a state senator, and a corporate-law attorney who was a Rhodes Scholar. The white candidate, re-elected city-wide four years ago, is a longtime community activist and the candidate most likely to be photographed with a bullhorn in her hand. This all comes at a time when Atlanta is struggling...
