A campaign broadside touting the candidacy for J.O. Wyatt, Jr. Wyatt attended Morehouse College, earned a law degree from Emory, and worked for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission before running successfully for County Commissioner in Fulton County, Georgia in the late-1970s. His father, Dr. J.O. Wyatt, instilled in him a sense of civic duty; the elder Wyatt had previously run unsuccessfully for school board in Amarillo, Texas in 1955, resulting in the burning of a cross on his front lawn.
