This should have been major news. It wasn't. Cornelius Taylor, 46, was inside a tent in a long established homeless encampment off Old Wheat Street when he was bulldozed to death when Atlanta cleared his homeless camp, just yards away from Martin Luther King’s birthplace and the white marble tombs of him and Coretta Scott King. People tried to stop the dozer but it kept on going.
This story is horrific.
