Explanation:

William B. Hartsfield was born on March 1, 1890, and later served as Atlanta's longest serving mayor from 1937-1961(served for six terms).

In his cause to make Atlanta a model city, he supported the early Civil Rights movement and was most famous for his work towards achieving racial equality. Thus, race relations in Atlanta were more progressive than in other southern cities. He was later credited with the slogan "Atlanta is the city too busy to hate".

Hartsfield also helped to desegregate Atlanta's schools. The city was viewed as a modern city and attracted other businesses to relocate to the state of Georgia.
