My Mother’s Childhood in the Projects of Augusta

Karen Hunter sits down with her mother once again to learn about her experiencing growing up in the housing projects of Augusta, GA.

Projects in Augusta Georgia?

I lived in Cypress Hills projects in East New York, Brooklyn until I was 15 years old. My father wouldn't let us go outside until I was 12 years old . Our apartment windows were facing the back of the building. All the kids hung out in the front of the building. The library and the local bodega was only place my father would let us go to. I still go to the library in Somerset NJ often. I just ordered post traumatic slave syndrome book by Joy DeGruy.
