Giving voice to Linnentown
"Hattie Thomas Whitehead describes her early years in the 1960s and how her life and the lives of other Linnentown families changed the moment the city of Athens and the University of Georgia entered into an urban renewal (UR) contract. As a result of UR, Linnentown properties were taken for the university's expansion, residents were forced to move, and families were separated.

Her goal is to give voice to a once-vibrant and thriving community that was erased and forgotten"--Back cover
