From the summer of 1979 through the spring of 1981, Atlanta, Georgia, was held under siege by a serial killer, and dozens of victims started to appear. The series of murders, which became known as the “Atlanta Child Murders case”, gripped the city of Atlanta with fear and shocked the nation because most of the victims were children. The fact that the victims were all Black and mostly male caused many in Atlanta’s Black community to fear their children were being targeted by a racist conspiracy.
