Abstract:
"Four Decades ago a handful of business titans would meet--in their offices, sometimes at the Lance Plant off South Boulevard--to discuss their vision of a vibrant New South city. At the core were five men who led the city's biggest banks, daily newspaper, power company, and retailer." Discussed are: Hugh McColl, Harvey Gant, Vi Lyles, Marcus Jones, Michael Marsicano, Robert Dawkins, Malcolm Graham, Keith Cockrell and Malcomb Coley.
