East Lake Meadows: A Public Housing Story: A Film by Sarah Burns & David McMahon and Presented by Ken Burns Format:DVD raising support to put themselvesIn 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.
