Step into the powerful history of Linnentown with activist and author Hattie Thomas Whitehead, a former resident and author of "Giving Voice to Linnentown". Once a thriving Black neighborhood on Baxter Street, Linnentown was erased by urban renewal in the 1960s. Learn about the community that once stood, the families who lived there, and the community's fight for recognition and redress, culminating in the 2021 Linnentown Resolution—the first official act of reparations in Georgia. ​Hattie’s personal story and deep knowledge bring urgency and humanity to this important chapter of Athens’ history.
