- Description:
- Series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of living conditions at Techwood Homes public housing project, Atlanta, Georgia, late 1970s or early 1980s. The first clips show the Techwood Homes complex, with close-ups of broken and taped windows and windows covered with cardboard, trash and empty liquor bottles on the ground and in stairwells. Reporter Dennis Kauff interviews a group of African American women, while their children play. A Ms. Morton discusses the condition of the inside of her apartment which needs repairs and paint, and that there are rats and cockroaches. She indicates that she has asked for repairs several times, but no one comes out. Reporter Kauff then interviews a Mr. Mann, who says that he pays $158 for his apartment, but it has no electricity. Mr. Mann says that the manager, Ms. Horton, has told him he can take what he has or he can reapply in 90 days or go to Perry Homes. Mr. Mann also indicates that his apartment has been burglarized, but the management did not care.
