- Description:
- In this series of clips, Atlanta mayor Ivan Allen speaks at a conference on housing to attempt to eliminate slums in the city. The opening clip of the first segment shows mayor Allen at a podium discussing the need for help from private developers to satisfy Atlanta's housing requirements. He hopes that they will be innovative to create building techniques and in the use of new materials to decrease costs. The rest of the segment is silent, and includes: a shot of the audience; an unidentified white male (possibly Cecil Alexander, an architect who helped with this project) speaking at the podium; mayor Allen and another unidentified white male seated behind the speaker; the second unidentified man speaking at the podium. In the second segment, mayor Allen says, "The problem is simply this: Atlanta does not have the housing to meet the needs of persons to be relocated by present or future governmental action, which will be necessary for the continued progress of this city."
