Episode 5: Town & Gown

Hot Corner

For a lot of students and visitors, the University of Georgia is "Athens." There is no doubt that the school has a huge influence on the town, but while many Black Athens residents work on campus, it is not a place where they have always felt welcome. The same can be said of some parts of downtown that mainly cater to the student population. Aleck and Broderick examine how these conditions have shaped the lines of segregation in downtown Athens in recent decades. What they find helps to explain why Hot Corner remains such an important place.
