Braxton, Robert Interview

Scope and content:

I interviewed Mr. Robert Braxton in the College Apartments, which is located on Boundary Street in Williamsburg, VA, in the office of the Williamsburg Documentary Project. Mr. Braxton was very engaged with the topic and welcoming of any questions that we had for him. He began his interview by drawing out a revised version of a map of the Triangle, which we drew a copy of. Having grown up in the area surrounding the Triangle, Mr. Braxton had a valuable perspective on the area. We covered topics regarding the businesses that were located on the Triangle, how the redevelopment project occurred, and the progress that Williamsburg is making today, in addition to Mr. Braxton's experience on City Council.

The content of this note was taken from the headnote created by the interview team.
