whats the answer

- Disputed land ownership case: The tensions arose from a specific dispute over land ownership between two African American women, Carrie Moss and Rosa Blocker, and their white landlord, George Swanson. This dispute escalated into a larger conflict, as it became a symbol of broader racial and economic inequalities in the city.

- Economic competition for jobs: Atlanta experienced rapid industrialization, and African Americans moved into the city in large numbers in search of employment opportunities. This led to increased competition for jobs between African Americans and white workers, which further heightened racial tensions.
- The construction of a new city park: The construction of Piedmont Park, a new city park, caused displacement of many African American residents. This led to resentment and further divisions between racial groups in the city.
- Celebrations of cultural diversity in the city: While celebrations of cultural diversity may have had a positive intent, they also created a visible divide between different racial and ethnic groups. These celebrations could have potentially fostered resentments and contributed to racial tensions.
