The Trump administration's efforts to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs have significant implications for Atlanta, a city historically tied to the civil rights movement. Mayor Andre Dickens resisted federal demands to abolish such initiatives at the city's airport, potentially sacrificing millions in federal funding. Major corporations like Coca-Cola and Home Depot have started altering their DEI commitments, opting to use more neutral language, placing them at odds with local community relationships. This shift has stirred concerns among civil rights advocates who fear reversion to outdated practices that threaten the progress achieved in corporate diversity.
