in atlanta, the group was able to meet with dr. martin luther king jr., who was at that time president of the southern christian leadership conference. and dr. king voiced some concerns about the group continuing the ride into alabama. there were some sources that have reported to him that there would be violence waiting for the freedom ride andr alabama. sthe group was aware of his concerns but could it -- but decided to continue anyway. there were two groups of travelers, integrated groups on a greyhound bus and h railway. the bus traveled an hour apart. there was a mob waiting for the bus. they attacked the bus. they broke at windows. they rocked the bus to try to turn it over. however, the bus was able to pull away from the station, but not before the tires were slashed on the bus. when they tried to phone for help, the mob attacked the bus again. someone in the mob through a molotov cocktail into the bus. the bus filled with smoke and fumes. as the freedom riders tried to get off the bus, there were members of the mob who held

why are we in atlanta? well, this fine city just opened its brand new streetcar system about a year ago. we came down here to see of what lessons that the d. system could learn from atlanta. the similarities are all across the board. atlanta's system about 2.7 miles. d.c.'s 2.4 miles. they connect neighborhoods that need to be revitalized, and there are all sorts of issues that atlanta has figured out in this past year that d.c. could learn from. but officials here admit there's still a long way to go with this streetcar system and there are pluses and minuses on both sides. a lot of people who say it works and a lot of people who say it doesn't. a lot of that sounds familiar. coming up tomorrow on news4 at 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00, we'll take you inside the issues here in atlanta and see what we can learn from this streetcar system. back to you. >> looks like adam is in some nicer weather down in atlanta than we are here today. but that's coming our way eventually, right? >> what's today? next wednesday is loo

that it was atlanta. it doesn't happens i'm writing a book about the shenandoah valley. i'm sure they cannot of possibly all that said. i do believe we are probably underestimating the role that sheridan's victories, right on the cusp of election, right on the borders of what is the most important states, and right outside of washington dc i think the latching onto sherman's victory, which i'm not diminishing, when you get to this part of the story we sort of see the end of the work coming and we start rushing along. both the election and its outcome and the war itself. we forget how many men are still left to die. how many battles are to be fought. and how large the civil war was and how many consequences it had. i don't know if it's revisionism. i'm just calling attention to the fact you think about the particularities of the election. if you are in that moment and reading the newspapers and you have the most popular pawn to come out of the american civil war, shermans ride comes at a week before the election and it's all across the north, and the third most popular pi

the bombardment of vicksburg and atlanta produced few civilian casualties. many of us could name the loan civilians deaths that occurred during the battle of gettysburg. we also know the one woman who died in the battle of the first manassas. so, that is how rare those occasions are. so he is being disingenuous when he says this. thentrast, the success of western village attacks depended on native americans not knowing the enemy's approaching. they smirk and atlanta were incidental to operations against the confederate armies defending those cities. the presence was of central importance. because the greatest opportunities for victory would occur when warriors were forced into position of having to protect the elderly, women, and children. finally, while the union army could readily discriminate between civilian targets in atlanta, during a village attack, combatants and noncombatants were hopelessly intermingle. the result unpredictably, was a level of noncombatant casualties far higher than anything seen during delivery operations. sherman was not drawing

a threat of severe weather from knoxville to atlanta to montgomery, alabama. a closer look shows the southwestern mountains are under the gun for an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm. the main threat would be damaging winds through north georgia and maybe as far east as the western part of oconee county. this is not a powerful system and once it goes by it will get much colder and maybe some snow for the mountains. i'll talk more about that a little later on. >> we don't know where he is. death atdeputies call him armed and dangerous. his girlfriend say >> his girlfriend says he's innocent. >> a double murder suspect is still on the run and one of the victim's relatives is speaking out. here's more. >> we spoke to the sister of jamal justice who says she's still waiting to hear why the man accused of killing her brother and another man was released on bond and placed on home incarceration. >> we want to know why. we just don't understand why. the guy does not deserve it. >> johnson says having her brother's accused killer on home incarceration was bad eno

>> atlanta is the scene of a new battle pitting progress against preservation. a series of columns that date back to the civil war and a possible sale could put one of the last pieces of the city's pre--war history at risk. >> reporter: atlanta, a modern city with a rich architectural history, getting back to the civil war, and it's hard to tell because nearly all of those pre and post-war structures are gone, so even a trace of them are impressive. like this one, whose white columns go back to the civil war. it's for sale for around $3 million. >> it's unbelievable. colossal columns, and it's up on the hill. >> reporter: in fact, margaret mitchell, the author of gone with the wind, menges those columns in the novel. they were originally on another building, the lighten house, and in 1920, they were move to this one. >> the columns are some of the few things in atlanta, antebellum, that survived. they were on p street called the liedum house. atlanta is surrounded by these structures and these wonderful homes, and this one didn't even exist here until recently.

developing just northwest of atlanta actually and back into northern alabama. so as long as the front remains to the west, we're not wedged in here with a stable environment. but we're not that unstable of clouds around with some sun from time to time but we're also very mild so i wouldn't be surprised to see showers and thundershowers march across the area as we go through the evening. only a slight chance of anything being severe but we'll have to watch it closely through the evening and the storm's prediction center has a chance for severe weather here from knoxville. southwestern mountains of north carolina through atlanta and back into montgomery, alabama. a closer look shows extremely northwestern parts of 0 conee, knoxville. southwestern mountains bryson city and southwest gainesville through gainesville and through atlanta and north georgia. a chance to a strong severe thunderstorm. the main threat would be damaging winds and even maybe a few pockets of some -- maybe some large hail. but it's really not a very strong system at all. the front itself is s
