Brownsville
On Monday morning a group of well armed African-American men met near Clark University. The meeting was to discuss what had transpired over the weekend and the men were only armed to protect themselves.
The Fulton County police, after learning of the weapons, confronted the men with an overwhelming police presence. Reports vary as to the cause, but there was a shootout between the two groups. One police officer was killed and 200 African-Americans were arrested and their weapons were taken. This was seen as the definitive end of the riot.
Aftermath
White civic leaders, concerned with Atlanta's image, reached out to the Black Business Elite. Both groups wanted the appearance that they had control over the working classes of their race. They also wanted the world to see that racial harmony could be achieved without Northern interference.
While the Black Business Elite worked with city leaders they continued to distance themselves from the working class. They felt as if they had more in common with their white counterparts than those of their race who were in a different socioeconomic class. This led to Atlanta being segregated by both race and social standing.
