Many Atlanta residents are unaware of the enormous quantity of brick required to build the city we know today. Not only were buildings made of brick, but also streets, sewers, and sidewalks. This seminar will provide valuable information about brick and its role in building the Gateway City. The talk also will explore the dynamics of race in the city “too busy to hate,” as Atlanta’s built environment is racial—then, and now. The Chattahoochee Brick Company site, and its practices, provide meaningful insights into matters of race, social politics, and crime reform that are relevant today.
