{"value"=>"<p>Seven audio recordings likely created by Baldwin for a book and screenplay. They are arranged chronologically. Five audio recordings relate to his book-length essay <em>The Evidence of Things Not Seen</em>, which covers the Atlanta Child Murders and examines race relations in Atlanta. The Atlanta Child Murders were a series of murders committed in Atlanta, Georgia, between July 1979 and May 1981 of approximately twenty-nine African Americans, mostly boys, children, teens, and young adults. The recordings are mainly of interviews by Baldwin with people involved in the trial of the suspected serial killer, Wayne B. Williams, and people living in Atlanta. Baldwin had ventured to Atlanta as a literary reporter on assignment by <em>Playboy</em> magazine.</p> <p>Two audio recordings are of a script meeting for the film <em>The Inheritance</em>, which Baldwin was set to direct for the production company Kelly-Jordan Enterprises. Kelly-Jordan Enterprises were specialists in the production and distribution of Black-oriented motion pictures. The film was never made because the production company went bankrupt, and in 1973 Baldwin sued to retain the rights.</p>"}
