Have you considered that not all places have the emotional baggage like your Atlanta?

You might consider that many many more places than Atlanta have this same baggage, all because of Robert Moses's advice.

I grew up in Nashville and it also had a vibrant black neighborhood split in half by a highway. It was explicitly how Moses told planners across the country to get highways built it happened everywhere.

What big city in the USA has not had redlining or had highways blasted over disadvantaged racial minority communities? I'll wait while you look that one up.
