Anne Hull, of the Washington Post, has just published a four part series in that paper that is a laydown, IMO, for a Pulitzer. I suggest you all read it. Synopsis:
According to the 2000 census, 256,563 foreign-born people arrived in metropolitan Atlanta between 1990 and the end of the century, changing an historically white and black society. This series tells four stories out of the thousands, focusing on immigrants who were coming of age on the rim of a new world. It is based on in-depth reporting that spanned 18 months, along with interviews with teachers, students, police, prosecutors, social workers, sociologists, public health officials, and demographers.
