LINNENTOWN

The last living descendants of a once-thriving Black neighborhood in Athens, Georgia come together to fight to preserve the memory of Linnentown and to seek redress for what was lost. Their family homes were razed in a 1960s urban renewal program and they, along with civic-minded neighbors, unite to try to reclaim their forgotten history and forge a path toward reconciliation.
