With each month, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Atlanta: America’s Black Mecca?” series will present stories, photos, videos and programming centered on the question: Is Atlanta truly the “Black mecca”?

This should also be a conversation. We want to hear from you. Join AJC’s discussion forum or hit us up on social — @itsuatl — or via email at uatl@ajc.com.

We invite you to share your success stories, failures, questions, challenges and experiences that speak to life in the “Black mecca.”
