Booker T. Washington High School (Atlanta, Ga.)
Biographical notes:
Plans for the construction of the Domed Stadium Project, which later became the Georgia Dome, were approved by the Atlanta City Council in 1989. The area most affected by this project was the neighborhood of Vine City, located just west of downtown Atlanta. As the project worked its way through the final phases of approval students from the Booker T. Washington High School Center for the Humanities collected a series of oral histories to document the lives of residents most affected by the pending construction. Under the direction of two teachers, Ms. Gwen Cheatham and Ms. Katie Lindquist, the students interviewed fourteen individuals connected to the neighborhood. The project was patterned after the work of the "Foxfire" program developed in Rabun County, Georgia. The tapes and a published abstract were presented to the Atlanta History Center.
