Who Were These Black People That Are Represented By These Urban Memorials?

As I drove on Boulevard through the "Old Forth Ward" section of Atlanta today on my way to the bookstore I noticed something that made me turn around and pull out my camera to permanently document what I had seen. In a 3 block section from Ralph McGill Blvd to North Ave I counted FOUR memorials on one the side of the road that paid tribute to someone being killed in that spot.









All of these memorials are in 4 distinct spots along Boulevard ("Boulevard" is the complete name of the street). If I, a casual observer, driving through the area was able to make note of such an exceptional concentration of "corpses" and thus make note of the pattern.......who with the authority to do something about this is failing to do their job in keeping these streets safe for the residents who live within? If these 4 markers on this one side of the street are visible - how many more murders have happened just off of this main thoroughfare and/or inside of these dwellings that don't catch the eye of those who pass by on the main road?

I do not know how long each of these memorials have been posted in these specific spots but each of them seemed reasonably recent per the condition of the stuffed animals.
I do not know the circumstances which lead to the deaths of these 4 souls. Judging from the neighborhood - homicide by gun violence is an easy guess.

With all of these sites being in such close proximity why hasn't there been more outrage by those who always claim to be working to protect the best interests of these people? The offices of the "Southern Christian Leadership Council" and the "Martin Luther King Jr Center For Non-Violent Change" are literally 3 or 4 blocks south on Boulevard. What about these 4 murders (at least 4) in this concentrated area has them and others who are in the business of fighting for justice so silent on this "killing field"?

This area of the "Old Fourth Ward" is right near the "Atlanta Medical Center" (formerly Georgia Baptist Hospital). This is a high density poor area. I saw plenty of Black people standing on the corners and sitting on the steps of their apartment complexes "shooting the breeze" today. Most of the men wore the standard uniform - sagging pants with a long t-shirt or sports jersey covering them up.
There seems to be little hope in this community. The prospects for change in this community seem equally bleak.

What is interesting though is that I recently had a debate with a person who was outraged regarding the treatment of Blacks in Mississippi by White folks. He told of how Blacks were murdered, Blacks were exploited and Blacks were terrorized. These conditions were cause for a civil rights/ civil justice movement focused on that specific area. How is that which is going on within the "Old Fourth Ward" section of Atlanta - and believe me EVERY large city has their 'Old Fourth Ward' - be considered so radically differently than what has gone on in the Mississippi Delta region from a pure humanity standpoint? (This means understanding that slavery, Jim Crow and Sharecropping are at the SYSTEMATIC LEVEL yet hatred, the will to kill another and vengeance are at play in both sets of circumstances, yet the superior positioning of the crimes by the White man over crimes by other Black people against Black people are held up as more damaging despite the common end result.)
