The Lutheran Towers Oral History project was a collaboration between freelance oral historian Rachel Garbus and residents of Lutheran Towers in Atlanta, Georgia. Lutheran Towers is a faith-based, non-profit, senior community that provides an affordable, quality home with person-centered supportive services that empower its residents to thrive. Lutheran Towers offers a wide variety of enriching activities that help residents enjoy life to the fullest. Leisa Minor, Director of Supportive Programs and Services, spearheaded the Lutheran Towers Oral History Project to give residents the opportunity to record their life histories, and to share that legacy with their family, loved ones, and communities. Many residents also elected to archive their stories with the Auburn Avenue Research Library, to preserve their unique story as part of the wider historical record. Some of the residents grew up in or near Atlanta, while others made this city their home more recently. Collectively, their stories include first-person accounts of some of the most important historical events in American history: the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., life in Chicago's Altgeld Gardens public housing project, and the integration of Mississippi's university system.
