Goodmons relive American Tobacco renovation

The American Tobacco Campus is celebrating 10 years since its renovation, a renaissance driven by the vision of Capitol Broadcasting Company President and CEO Jim Goodmon.

The result has been a revival of downtown Durham. 

Earlier this year, StoryCorps brought a mobile recording unit to the ATC. The national organization wants to give people from all walks of life a chance to record their stories.

Goodmon was among those who took advantage of the opportunity. He recorded this story about the transformation of American Tobacco with his son Michael.

All of the StoryCorps recordings are archived in the Library of Congress
