The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the only major daily newspaper in the metropolitan area of Atlanta Georgia. It is the flagship publication of Cox Enterprises. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the result of the merger between The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution. The two staffs were combined in 1982. Separate publication of the morning Constitution and the afternoon Journal ended in 2001 in favor of a single morning paper under the Journal-Constitution name. The Atlanta Journal was established in 1883. Founder E. F. Hoge sold the paper to Atlanta lawyer Hoke Smith in 1887. After the Journal supported presidential candidate Grover Cleveland in the 1892 election Smith was named as Secretary of the Interior by the victorious Cleveland. Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Margaret Mitchell worked for the Journal from 1922 to 1926. Important for the development of her 1936 Gone With the Wind were the series of profiles of prominent Georgia Civil War generals she wrote for The Atlanta Journal's Sunday magazine the research for which scholars believe led her to her work on the novel. The Journal carried the motto "Covers Dixie like the Dew". About 300000 people came out in Atlanta for the film's premiere at the Loew's Grand Theatre on December 15 1939. It was the climax of three days of festivities hosted by Mayor William B. Hartsfield which included a parade of limousines featuring stars from the film receptions thousands of Confederate flags and a costume ball. Eurith D. Rivers the governor of Georgia declared December 15 a state holiday. An estimated 300000 Atlanta residents and visitors lined the streets for seven miles to view the procession of limousines that brought stars from the airport. Only Leslie Howard and Victor Fleming chose not to attend: Howard had returned to England due to the outbreak of World War II and Fleming had fallen out with Selznick and declined to attend any of the premieres. Hattie McDaniel was also absent as she and the other black cast members were prevented from attending the premiere due to Georgia's Jim Crow laws which kept them from sitting with their white colleagues. Upon learning that McDaniel had been barred from the premiere Clark Gable threatened to boycott the event but McDaniel persuaded him to attend. President Jimmy Carter later recalled it as "the biggest event to happen in the South in my lifetime". Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell. The film was produced by David O. Selznick of Selznick International Pictures and directed by Victor Fleming. Set in the American South against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era the film tells the story of Scarlett O'Hara Vivien Leigh the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner following her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes Leslie Howard who is married to his cousin Melanie Hamilton Olivia de Havilland and her subsequent marriage to Rhett Butler Clark Gable. It received positive reviews upon its release in December 1939. The casting was widely praised. At the 12th Academy Awards it received ten Academy Awards eight competitive two honorary from thirteen nominations including wins for Best Picture Best Director Fleming Best Adapted Screenplay posthumously awarded to Sidney Howard Best Actress Leigh and Best Supporting Actress Hattie McDaniel becoming the first African American to win an Academy Award. It set records for the total number of wins and nominations at the time. Gone with the Wind was immensely popular when first released. It became the highest-earning film made up to that point and held the record for over a quarter of a century. When adjusted for monetary inflation it is still the highest-grossing film in history. It was re-released periodically throughout the 20th century and became ingrained in popular culture. The film has been credited with triggering changes in the way in which African Americans were depicted cinematically.
