The Perry Homes Public Housing Projects in Atlanta (May 28, 1979)

Harvey Reed, a black man who lives in Perry Homes, plays a harmonica. The reporter’s voice says he plays the blues, while camera pans to show rats in garbage dumpsters, boarded up houses, and garbage. 3800 people live here. Dennis Kauff stayed in an apartment with Mamie Brooks and her six children for a week. He says the people put up with a lot and no one does anything about it. She shows cloths as doors on her cabinet and a hole in the bedroom wall where she stuck cotton to keep out the rain and an enema bag to catch the drip from the broken pipe under the sink. An unidentified male resident points out the raw sewage coming out into the street from a broken pipe, and blames Mayor Maynard Jackson. Another man shows where roaches and rats come in a hole in his house and explains that no one comes to fix anything despite how much people complain. Various residents are interviewed about the rat and roach infestation. Kauff shows the three-feet-high grass, abandoned apartments, and trash piles outside. Reporter: Kauff, Dennis
