In the words of womanist poet Audre Lorde, “Your silence will not protect you.” – Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Atlanta, GA Quote's Corner Keisha Lance Bottoms is the 60th Mayor of Atlanta. A daughter of Atlanta, Mayor Bottoms is committed to realizing her vision of One Atlanta – an affordable, resilient and equitable Atlanta – which stands as a model city for both commerce and compassion. A lifelong public servant, Mayor Bottoms is the only Mayor in Atlanta’s history to have served in all three branches of government, serving as a judge and City Councilmember before being sworn in as Mayor. Leading with a progressive agenda focused on equity and affordable housing, Mayor Bottoms serves as Chair of the Community Development and Housing Committee and the Census Task Force for the United States Conference of Mayors. Georgia Trend magazine named Mayor Bottoms the 2020 Georgian of the Year. Among Mayor Bottoms’ notable accomplishments to date include the establishment of the City’s first fully-staffed Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, the appointments of a LGBTQ Affairs Coordinator and a Human Trafficking Fellow, the citywide elimination of cash bail bond, the closure of the Atlanta City Detention Center to ICE detainees, and the rollout of the most far-reaching financial transparency platform in the City’s history – Atlanta’s Open Checkbook. Under Mayor Bottoms’ leadership, the City of Atlanta led the historically successful staging of Super Bowl LIII, which included unprecedented community benefits – a $2.4 million renovation of John F. Kennedy Park on Atlanta’s Westside, more than 20,000 trees planted throughout the community and the seamless coordination of 40 federal, state and local public safety agencies. A product of Atlanta Public Schools, Mayor Bottoms graduated from Frederick Douglass High School and received her undergraduate degree from Florida A&M University. She earned her Juris Doctorate from Georgia State University College of Law. An active member of the community, Mayor Bottoms is a member of the State Bar of Georgia, Jack and Jill of America, The Links, Incorporated, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. She has also served on the board of Families First and shares her personal story of adoption and advocates on behalf of adoption and foster care. Mayor Bottoms is the daughter of Sylvia Robinson and R&B icon Major Lance. She resides in historic Southwest Atlanta with her husband, Derek W. Bottoms, their four children- Lance, Langston, Lennox and Lincoln, and their family dog, Logan.

Students explore the forces that shape the authority of technology in society from concepts of identity, democracy, and privacy, to the impact of technology on entertainment, economics and politics. Student projects include creative and critical project-based forms of practice completed at staged skill and conceptual levels of a gradually increased complexity. FALL ONLY.

What's more, these apps are changing the way we live, by accelerating social interaction, challenging accepted notions of public vs. private space, informing and enabling political activism, and giving us new means to document and share our lives. As these new ways of life become more and more mundane, artists step into the breach, asking us to re-imagine the possibilities presented by these digital devices and their apps.

  • City Manager Update December 20, 2019
    City Manager Update December 20, 2019 St. Paul’s Advisory Committee Meeting: The Mayor’s St. Paul’s Advisory Committee met on December 17th at the Attucks Theater. During the meeting, subcommittees provided updates on their work over the past 6 months to the larger committee for feedback and next steps. A subcommittee was tasked with examining several different neighborhood revitalization models and making a recommendation about which model would be the best fit for the creation of a non-governmental entity to oversee the St. Paul’s Transformation. The preliminary recommendation is for the national Purpose Built Communities model for its proven track record of achieving high outcomes for the residents in neighborhoods that were transformed and their ability to recruit national resources needed for a successful transformation. The final recommendation will be made in 2020 and present to City Council. The Inclusionary Housing Subcommittee examined several policies in cities across the U.S. that strive to increase quality affordable housing stock accessible to all residents. The committee provided their findings and recommendations for developing an inclusionary housing plan in Norfolk and will also present to city leadership in early 2020. The next St. Paul’s Advisory Committee meeting will be January 17, 2020. People First Empowered by USI: Community Partner Meetings: People First empowered by USI hosted a series of partner meetings Tuesday and Wednesday this week that continued to lay the foundation for a strong service partner network to serve the residents of Tidewater Gardens for the next six years. Partner organizations developed shared metrics, vision, capacity proposed strategies and accountability standards for their work in Tidewater Gardens.
