Beyond the Wall
In the 1960s, the thriving neighborhood of Pleasant Hill was split in two by the construction of I-75. Over 100 homes were demolished, with 20-foot walls erected on each side of the historic black neighborhood. 60 years later, time destroys what the city has not. This is life beyond the wall.
