East Lake Meadows - A Public Housing Story: A Film by Sarah Burns and David McMahon and Presented by Ken Burns

In 1970, a public housing community was opened in Atlanta called East Lake Meadows. But as public housing was abandoned and stigmatized, it became nearly uninhabitable. In the mid-1990s, it was bulldozed to make way for mixed-income housing. Through the stories of former residents, this film raises questions about poverty and limited housing opportunity for African Americans.
