Sidewalk Radio With Gene Kansas

Typically on Sidewalk Radio we choose dynamic topics that are in a state of flux. The BeltLine, The Clermont Hotel, The Art Show, as recent examples. So, it might seem odd that January's show highlights a place that normally we might think about as anything but in transition, a cemetery. But, it’s not just any cemetery. Historic Oakland Cemetery is the oldest landmark in continuous use in Atlanta history. And, as you will hear, Oakland is anything but dead. It is very much alive and growing. Guests on this episode are George Hart, former board chair for the Historic Oakland Foundation, Douglas C. Allen, the Sr. Associate Dean of Architecture at Georgia Tech and a master landscape architect, D.L. Henderson, a Dr. of Humanities and researcher of Atlanta's African-American History and Cooper Sanchez, an artist and landscape designer.
