This profusely illustrated volume draws on nearly 200 interviews with Atlanta residents who recall, in their own words, "the way it was"-- from segregated streetcars to college fraternity parties, from moonshine peddling to visiting performances by the Met. Opera, from the growth of neighborhoods to religious revivals; includes Martin Luther King, Sr., Clarence Bacote, and Benjamin Mays.Kuhn, Clifford M. is the author of 'Living Atlanta: An Oral History of the City, 1914-1948' with ISBN 9780820311616 and ISBN 0820311618.
