On the night of Friday, February 25, a fire was started in a unit of a small apartment building in the westside of Atlanta. The fire is the most recent event in a difficult history for the residents of 412 James P Brawley. Over the past six months, the building’s tenants have suffered illegal eviction attempts by the landlord, mounted defenses against evictions, and joined forces with neighbors and community organizers against the gangsterism of the slumlords and their lackeys.
