East Lake Meadows, A Public Housing Story: A Film by Ken Burns

  • Activity, Discussion Questions, Lesson Plan, Video, Vocabulary List
In 1970, the Atlanta Housing Authority opened a public housing community called East Lake Meadows. Before Atlanta bulldozed the housing project in the mid-1990s to make way for new mixed-income housing, many thousands of low-income Atlantans, mostly Black, called it home. Through the stories of former residents, this feature-length film raises critical questions about how we, as a nation, have created concentrated poverty and limited housing opportunity for Black Americans, and what can be done to address it.
