Jackson, who has lived there for more than 50 years, is leading a charge with other residents in fighting the City of Atlanta’s plan to turn a portion of the neighborhood into a park and retention pond. The City says this is necessary because of a sewage issue that may cause flooding in the area. (AP Photo/Kevin D. Liles)
