One of the darkest chapters i n the hi stor y of the New South
i s the system of convi ct l abor ( the l easi ng of pri soners to
farmers and busi nesses) , thanks to whi ch ri ght up to the mi d-
dl e of the twenti eth centur y hundreds of thousands of ( most-
l y bl ack men and boys) were sol d i nto sl aver y. I t provi ded the
l abor force to bui l d much of the i nf rastructure of Atl anta,
i ncl udi ng the Bel tl i ne.
My proposal takes the el emental system of rai l way construc-
ti on and extends i t archi tectural l y, pyschol ogi cal l y, and cul -
tural l y. The resul ti ng structure i s to ser ve as a memori al and
exhi bi ti on space bel ow ground, and as a permanentt resarch
documentati on center above. Wooden f rames encl osi ng the
research area above ground fal l i nto concrete tombstones
bel ow ground, each bei ng i nscri bed wi th deceased sl aves
f rom the ol d south. The tombs cut out a voi d f rom the earth
di rectl y across the corri dor l i t up by the state the respecti ve
sl aves were f rom. The purpose of the center, strategi cal l y
pl aced to redi rect the Bel tl i ne towards i ts conti nuati on on
the other si de of Dekal b Avenue, i s to support hi stori cal and
cul tural studi es of the convi ct l abor system i n the South of

campus quad i n f ront of t he campuss nat ure preser ve, and i t
i s centered bet ween t he l i brar y and campus chapel ( known to
t he campus as t he templ e bui l di ngs) .
The proposed bui l di ng separates t he program vert i cal l y, wi t h
art spaces ( gal l eri es, st udi es) on t he nort h si de and academ-
i c spaces ( cl assrooms, l i brar y) on t he sout h si de. A hol l ow
