By the 1900s, Atlanta's skyline started to show large buildings and companies began moving to the busy city. With the filming of Gone With The Wind in Atlanta, popularity increased even more; however, with that came the heat of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Atlanta suddenly became the center of attention as it was the home of Martin Luther King, Jr. After the struggles of the movement, the city once again recovered, and by the 1990s, was put on the world's stage yet again for the 1996 Summer Olympics.
