On October 12, 1958, the Temple, Atlanta's oldest and most prominent synagogue, was blown open by fifty sticks of dynamite. The shock wave that reverberated across the nation that night jolted this city "too busy to hate," a booster's town scrambling to make itself the economic hum of what would become the New South. The explosion also shattered the illusions of a comfortable Reform Jewish congregation, for whom assimilation and acceptance had been proceeding nicely until they found themselves in the crossfire of a renewed battle between white and black.
