The Lutheran Towers Oral History Project was a collaboration between freelance oral historian Rachel Garbus and residents of Lutheran Towers in Atlanta, Georgia. Lutheran Towers is a faith-based, non-profit senior community that provides affordable, high-quality housing with person-centered supportive services, empowering its residents to thrive. The community offers a variety of enriching activities to help residents enjoy life to the fullest.

Leisa Minor, Director of Supportive Programs and Services, spearheaded the Lutheran Towers Oral History Project to give residents the opportunity to record their life histories and share those legacies with family, loved ones, and communities. Many residents also chose to archive their stories with the Auburn Avenue Research Library to preserve their unique experiences as part of the broader historical record.

Some residents grew up in or near Atlanta, while others made the city their home more recently. Collectively, their stories provide first-person accounts of pivotal moments in American history, including the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., life in Chicago's Altgeld Gardens public housing project, and the integration of Mississippi's university system.
