Book SynopsisTrade Review"Not many people alive in Atlanta today can look back and say they were involved with Dr. King, but Herman can do that. He's been an important person in the history of this city." --Arthur Blank, cofounder, the Home Depot; owner, Atlanta Falcons"Herman has been one of the pillars of the Atlanta community for many years, as a businessperson but also as a caring, concerned citizen. He's made a lasting contribution, not just to Atlanta but to the nation." --John Lewis, U.S. representative, Georgia fifth congressional district"I think that Herman Russell had as much to do with the rise of Atlanta as Ted Turner.
