Booker T. Washington High School (Atlanta, Ga.). Vine City/Domed Stadium Oral History Project, 1989.

Title: Vine City/Domed Stadium Oral History Project, 1989.

The collection consists of sixteen cassette tape recordings conducted by students from Booker T. Washington High School. The students identified residents of the Vine City neighborhood who would be affected by the dome construction. In addition, Fulton County Commissioner Nancy Boxill, representative for the area, and John T. Robinson, II, assistant to County Commissioner Michael Lomax, were also interviewed. With the completion of the interviews, edited abstracts of the interviews were compiled, arranged in alphabetical order by name of interviewee, and published in a soft bound, booklet. The interviews deal primarily with the concerns of residents as the Dome is being built. Increased crime rates, decreasing property values, and excessive traffic in the neighborhood are all concerns voiced by residents in these interviews. Several of the interviewees also expressed concern about the change in character the neighborhood will experience as a result of the Dome construction.
