Each Sunday in February, we will highlight significant figures and moments in Black history in a bonus section in the ePaper.

This week, the Black History Month Extra looks back at how attacks on Black Wall Street shaped life in middle America; a victory for the Tuskegee Airmen; and the resilient spirits of Septima Clark and Sidney Poitier.

Each week with your ePaper subscription, we give you extra content. We want to reinforce the value of a digital subscription to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
