Pomerantz, a former journalist for the AJC and The Washington Post who now lives and writes in San Francisco, will discuss the book, originally published in 1996, as well as the many changes seen in Atlanta in the two decades since. Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Bill Rankin will interview Pomerantz. A book signing will follow in the Writer’s Lounge at Auburn Avenue Research Library.
Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn documents the history of Atlanta — from Civil War through Civil Rights, and leading up to the city’s hosting of the 1996 Summer Olympics — through two prominent families: the Ivan Allens, and John Wesley Dobbs and his progeny.
Presented by Gene Kansas in Partnership with Constellations, Chronicle, Auburn Avenue Films, A Cappella Books & the Auburn Avenue Research Library.
