Marcus Wimby, Director of Haugabrooks Funeral Home in Atlanta, Georgia, talks about his work and career. For more than 90 years, Haugabrooks has been a mainstay of Atlanta’s African American community. Mr. Wimby – a relation to Ms. Geneva Haugabrooks, the dynamic woman who founded the multi-generational business in 1929 -- was interviewed by documentarian Candacy Taylor for her Occupational Folklife Project “The Green Book: Documenting African American Entrepreneurs.”
