Raisiong Our Voices, Breaking The Chain - The Imperial Hotel Occupation as Prophetoic Politics

By Terry Easton

This book tells the dramatic story of how, in June 1990, a one-day action to bring attention to rising homelessness and lack of affordable housing in Atlanta transformed into a sixteen-day occupation of the abandoned Imperial Hotel. Raising Our Voices also demonstrates how this event spurred affordable housing development in the 1990s and beyond, including the renovation of the Imperial Hotel into affordable housing in 1996, and its most recent renovation in 2014.
