Side A: (45 min) Walter Southall on BLR, # 1,995. "Social Services Uncovered." Born in Chicago, went to EIU, worked there, approved highly by influential whites in administration, went to SSU; through contacts, became coordinator of youth activities at Springfield, Sangamon County Community Action Agency-"didn’t do a thing." Hired by Housing Authority security- says their attitudes towards tenants were hostile. Became "special program developer." Side B: (45 min) SHA’s main goal was to get rid of "undesirables" and not help other people; joined Ammani Co- run by Frank McNeil as contractor to SHA-they were a joke as well. Did not deal with lead-based paint. [Kantako calls this his most important interview.]
