Newman, Harvey K. “Race and the Tourist Bubble in Downtown Atlanta.” Urban Affairs Review 37, no. 3 (January 1, 2002): 301–21. doi:10.1177/10780870222185351. <http://uar.sagepub.com/content/37/3/301.short>.
This scholarly work by a former Georgia State University student is about the history of different communities in the United States, and it puts an emphasis on race inequality. Newman goes into the history of how Atlanta was built and reshaped with time. He argues that the city was built to increase the number of tourists every year despite the hardships they may come to its own citizens. On page seven, he particularly mentions Auburn Avenue and Sweet Auburn, and I can use the background knowledge about the race inequalities in the 1960s to better understand the journey the Sweet Auburn Market has travelled. The past is a direct link to the present, so I can use this article in conjunction with the other two sources I have chosen in order to create a well put together vision of the community of the market. I may not be able to find any sources about the effects of race on the Sweet Auburn Market in particular; however, I may be able to find a document listing the history of vendors to see if there were any major differences after racism settled down.

In this article from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Bonner includes the personal stories of people that have been affected by the Sweet Auburn Market in Atlanta, Georgia. Bonner argues that the Sweet Auburn Market provides entrepreneurial opportunity for members of the Atlanta community. The market strikes people in many different ways. It can be looked at as a place of history, a joining of community, or a convenient place to stop for lunch. However, in this article, the market is a place of reliance for people like Matt Hinton and Brounstein. For entrepreneurs like these men, the market has been offering a place where a new or small business can have the chance to be successful since it opened in 1924. The market provides an opportunity to vendors to have a stall as opposed to having to dedicate much more time and money to open a storefront.

I may use this article in my writing to show the effect the market has on those who have taken advantage of the vendor stalls and to explain how the market can be effective for those who do not have the money to invest in a storefront. I will explore how markets like these can affect the lives of those who seek a better life by becoming a vendor, and how this opportunity for low income vendors can improve the overall economy of Atlanta.
