ATLANTA — Samuel Glickman was worried when one of his clients stopped coming in for his regular haircuts last year.
Glickman’s Privado barbershop — located on Sunset Avenue in Atlanta's Vine City neighborhood, 14 doors from Martin Luther King Jr.’s old home — has been a pillar in the quickly regentrifying neighborhood. A mural of civil rights leaders on the side of the building blends the past with the present.
Glickman, who has been cutting hair since he was a teenager, started asking questions about the client, a videographer with ties to the community. He found out that the man had committed suicide.
