Atlanta editor Morgan Blake, a longtime journalist and religious organizer, faced off 25 inmates at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary and emerged with keys after a two hour revolt. He had been invited by inmates to publish their grievances and later described his mission as a religious outreach while continuing sports and editorial work for The Atlanta Journal.
