The following slogan would MOST show the successes of mayors Jackson and Young:
New Growth in Business, Tourism, and Sports!
Both Maynard Jackson and Andrew Young Jr. were African American Atlanta mayors who assisted the city in major growth.
Jackson was responsible for the expansion of Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport (later renamed Hartsfield-Jackson) and helped to prepare the city for the hosting of the 1996 Olympic Games while he was in office.
Young was responsible for the creation of programs assisting business owners and business development in Atlanta, bringing in large investments, and renovating the Atlanta Zoo (renamed Zoo Atlanta) .
