Description
Various newspaper clippings with stories reporting on the decimation of historically African American neighborhoods in Tallahassee, including Smokey Hollow, Frenchtown, and Springfield. Notable members of these communities, such as Wally Amos, are highlighted. Includes interviews with former residents, who recall the layout and the spirit of the neighborhoods, and who share their thoughts on the causes of the neighborhoods' destruction. There is also a notice from the City of Tallahassee, informing the public of a request for the release of federal funds for a community revitalization project and an official statement claiming that the project would not exert a significant effect on the environment.
