I think I meant to reply to @mangochin on that, but somehow managed to reply to you? But I think I misread that, too?
But yes, there is a larger story there, of how the building of the highway system was one of the many mechanisms that were employed to reinforce segregation and disrupt black communities that had given rise to urban leadership of the civil rights movement. In ATL, the Auburn avenue corridor included Ebeneezer and Wheat Street churches, which were the epicenter of the movement here, so disrupting that community would have weakened the movement somewhat…
Short answer is (and @Mangochin) I agree.
