“Sweet Auburn Avenue: The Buildings Tell Their Story.” Sweet Auburn Avenue: The Buildings Tell Their Story. N.p., 6 Feb. 2016. Web. 06 Apr. 2016.

This source is about the freedom struggle for equality of Auburn Avenue, a small but powerful Mecca for blacks during the Jim Crow segregation period. The site describes how a regular day was on Auburn Avenue. It gives off an emotional appeal to blissfulness when describing the TopHat club and the smell of chicken as you walk down the street. The author explains the culture on Sweet Auburn during the nineteen forties. I chose this website because it is a historical website giving accurate insight on the life of the inner city life in Atlanta during the segregation period. Although I saw no Author, this website seems like it comes from someone who supported the Civil Rights Movement and was alive during this period or heard about how life was directly from a primary source. This source may have an African American bias since it is written from a black persons standpoint in that segregated era or someone in support of them. Like other sources I’ve researched, this one gives me an insight on the historical life of Sweet Auburn and how it shaped the built environment of Atlanta back then.
