Being black in Georgia in the 60s through the 80s wasn't all that tough. The government was stepping all over itself to rectify the wrongs of past. Alabama, Mississippi, etc. lots of bad stuff happened during the Civil Rights movement, but not in Georgia. By the 80s blacks were firmly ensconced in the political structure, especially in the urban areas.
The lawsuit this group won was against the federal government. It had nothing to do with Georgia.
