54	DCB_int_01	63.9510	So let me ask you some other stuff.	65.6830
56		66.0307	Um, do you remember your-	67.5507
58		67.8556	your parents or your grandparents very much?	70.1422

60		70.2141	Oh yeah I remember my g- I don't remember my grandfather.	72.5445
62		72.9007	He was gone before I was born.	74.4500
64		74.7883	But my grandmother	75.7056
66		76.4731	she died at one oh one so yeah I remember-	79.6923
67	DCB_int_01	79.9294	She was a hundred and [one?]	80.8499
68	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	80.7618	[And] one.	81.2621
69		81.7143	When she died.	82.4706
71		83.2324	And she-	83.9977
73		84.4543	Yeah I remember her a lot.	85.6543
75		86.0830	My father	86.9577
77		88.7417	I re- I mean he- I remember him, he was in the house but um,	91.6200
79		93.0224	that was the reason why I left home because see,	95.1864
81		95.5556	by him having all them girls our father he tried to sleep with us so I couldn't	99.6522
83		99.8083	deal with that so,	100.6674
85		100.9556	that's why I left home at a very young age.	102.9725
87		103.4287	Now he did	104.2354
89		104.5332	have	104.8241
91		105.0562	children by my oldest sister, they had six kids together, so	108.9042
93		109.3702	I got	109.8184
95		110.1626	cousins that's really my sister but	112.7572
97		113.0493	we call 'em	113.5843
99		114.3207	cousins.	114.8889
100	DCB_int_01	114.8409	Mm-hm.	115.2211
101	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	115.8974	Yeah but he was one reason and	117.4581
103		117.8731	back /then in them/ days I don't know if-	120.1661
105		121.2160	My mother knew what was going on but I don't think she was the type of woman that	125.7421
107		126.3891	wanted to say	127.4816
109		128.1139	too much about [it.]	129.2505
110	DCB_int_01	129.0264	[What's] going- Mm-hm.	130.0508
111	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	130.1616	Yeah but um,	131.1696
113		131.6783	I just had to leave, I couldn't deal with that.	133.8687
115		134.1048	I think I woulda been crazy if- if I woulda stayed.	136.7195
116	DCB_int_01	137.5262	And so um,	138.4875
118		141.3593	do you-	141.8166
120		141.9638	Does your neighborhood- Are-	142.9144

474	DCB_int_01	543.4178	[So thinking about]	544.2862
475		544.5291	like, you've always been in DC like Virginia,	548.0170
477		548.0987	Maryland,	548.8001
479		548.9325	do you feel like they're close or do they seem like	551.1352
481		551.3844	different worlds?	552.5009
483		553.1892	Like is DC a unique place like it's [own-]	555.7078
484	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	555.6037	[Yeah]	555.9439
485		556.0279	yeah it is.	556.9051
487		556.9884	Yeah, I don't even think I could live nowhere else.	559.1094
489		559.6364	Virginia,	560.4767
491		561.2411	I never lived out there but	562.8058
493		564.1572	you know it's- I- I hear it's	565.6859
495		566.0355	lot of prejudice going on out in [certain] parts of Virginia so I try to stay out of that part.	570.7216
496	DCB_int_01	567.7282	[Mm.]	568.0469
497	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	571.3473	Maryland,	571.9516
499		572.1984	that's where I live,	573.1029
501		573.1949	I think it's more quieter.	574.5522
503		575.2599	Um, they don't b-	576.4538
505		576.7219	they don't believe in fire crackers cause I don't believe in that either.	579.7433
507		580.0302	So that's why I moved to Maryland.	581.5549
508	DCB_int_01	582.1872	And when did you move to Maryland?	583.5838
509	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	584.1055	Um,	584.7137

517	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	592.9151	But it was on the other side.	594.2071
519		594.2917	Then I moved out of Maryland, moved back to DC.	596.8250
521		597.7240	Then	598.1254
523		598.3283	it was too much going on so I moved back to	600.7548
525		600.9149	Maryland in the same complex on the other side	603.7642
527		604.5660	in	604.9061

536		613.9504	and cross the street into Maryland.	615.7366
537	DCB_int_01	616.2423	And do you feel like people who live in Maryland are really from DC or do you feel like there's a diff- You know how people like if they in	623.5844

1037	DCB_int_01	1197.5635	Mm-hm.	1198.0397
1038	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1198.7800	And you'd be surprised you don't have to go through a lot of things	1201.6614
1040		1202.0469	that I went through	1202.9754
1042		1203.1794	if you just listen to my experience	1205.3178
1044		1205.7260	and	1206.0407
1046		1206.1422	you know,	1206.6024
1048		1206.8653	kind of run with it.	1207.7497
1050		1208.1459	You know how y'all run with	1209.4545
1052		1209.7600	certain things you don't supposed to run with well you know run with some knowledge, you know.	1214.2341
1054		1214.8491	You know listen to	1215.7251
1056		1215.9896	older people, they have a lot to tell you.	1217.9586
1058		1218.4175	I mean a lot of young people don't	1219.9702
1060		1220.4385	listen to- You know I- I talk to a lot of	1222.6275
1062		1222.9944	young people myself and they be like,	1224.8272
1064		1225.1594	well my mother she don't do this and my mother she don't listen to me, and this and that no,	1229.2841
1066		1229.5562	well that goes	1230.3245
1068		1230.4926	for the parents too, sometime we have to	1232.4936
1070		1232.6844	be quiet	1233.2767
1072		1233.6729	and listen to what	1234.5662
1074		1234.8934	our children wanna tell us so we can come to a agreement,	1238.2574
1076		1239.1902	and life might be better for you and me.	1241.3472
1077	DCB_int_01	1241.7607	Mm-hm.	1242.2381

1081		1245.5839	that	1246.1441
1083		1246.6831	one of the things that I think I was really excited when you told me that you grew up in DC is because DC. I feel,	1252.2417
1085		1252.3271	and I've only	1252.9914
1087		1253.0705	been here	1253.6557
1088	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1253.8959	[Mm-hm.]	1254.4945

1094	DCB_int_01	1260.2349	So I've only been here- But even in that time that I've been here,	1262.9149
1096		1263.0830	DC has changed so [much.]	1265.0304
1097	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1264.6958	[Tremendously.]	1265.7517
1098	DCB_int_01	1265.6630	So tell me about what you think- how you see- like I- you told me kind of your [neighborhood and-]	1270.3611

1104		1279.6523	all I saw was- you know I mean,	1281.5772
1106		1282.2269	a lot of things I saw then	1283.8877
1108		1284.2052	it- a- a little bit have changed but I'm still seeing it	1286.9945
1110		1287.0919	you know like,	1287.6281
1112		1288.3605	okay-	1288.8685
1114		1289.1889	like,	1289.4770
1116		1289.6425	homeless people, I'm still seeing them they was back there in my days but	1293.2201
1118		1293.9018	the only difference that I see in	1295.5466
1120		1296.0922	DC now	1297.1415
1122		1297.4808	even though they	1298.1119
1124		1298.2319	put up a lot of buildings,	1299.5846
1126		1299.6926	beautiful buildings and	1301.1143
1128		1301.4454	stuff like that but it's-	1302.4579
1130		1303.7853	it wasn't that much killing back-	1305.5261
1132		1305.7662	back then in my days as it is now.	1308.0592
1134		1308.5822	You know people getting shot for no reason,	1310.7022
1136		1311.0634	you know	1311.4327
1138		1312.3320	d- um,	1312.9920
1140		1313.5233	like I tell people you know when it-	1315.2321
1142		1315.3721	I hate to get off the subject but you know when it come- I was just telling my son,	1318.6177
1144		1319.1820	I said w- like when uh, that Baltimore thing happened I say, we	1322.2195
1146		1322.5956	we just can't go around just	1323.9603
1148		1324.5059	blaming	1325.0846
1150		1325.7759	one race.	1326.8025
1151	DCB_int_01	1327.1765	[Mm-hm.]	1327.6807
1152	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1327.4206	[I said], we have to blame	1328.8293
1153		1330.0526	our race too for some certain things,	1332.4339
1155		1332.5177	I say because it really pissed me off /RD-NAME-2/	1334.7457
1157		1335.1737	when that thing went down in Baltimore and how we	1337.7709
1159		1338.3512	as people	1339.2196
1161		1339.6305	as black people,	1340.6630
1163		1341.0392	we can't come together	1342.2998
1165		1343.0121	and	1343.3723
1167		1343.7658	protest	1344.6658
1169		1345.2025	without tearing down stuff and [putting] stuff on fire and	1349.2177
1170	DCB_int_01	1347.3102	[Yeah.]	1347.6076
1171	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1349.6367	the stuff like that so	1350.6732
1173		1350.8412	my- my answer to that, I think back there in the fifties where I was coming up was much better than today.	1356.8814
1175		1358.4463	[I really] do.	1359.1423
1176	DCB_int_01	1358.4503	[What do y-]	1358.6744

1179		1360.2911	um,	1360.7393
1181		1360.9434	going back you know when we had the riots on U Street and then [MLK all that cause] you grew u- [you were- you were about t- you were-]	1368.0247
1182	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1364.1597	[Mm-hm.]	1364.7479
1184		1364.9520	[Mm-hm.]	1365.5907

1189	DCB_int_01	1368.6911	um, ele- preteen [teenager] during-	1370.9162
1190	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1370.2226	[Yup.]	1370.6148
1192		1370.8789	Mm-hm.	1371.3992
1193	DCB_int_01	1371.3391	What do you remember about that?	1372.6031
1194	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1372.7078	I remember that	1373.6522
1196		1375.6919	me and my family we was in the house,	1377.9449
1198		1378.0730	and um,	1378.7183
1200		1379.2429	one of the neighbors, I'll never forget that, knocked on my mother's door and said, you know Martin Luther King?	1383.4689
1202		1383.8704	He got shot, he got shot, and	1385.3371
1204		1385.8087	I remember all of us	1386.9973
1206		1387.1281	crying and hollering and	1388.7241
1208		1389.1290	I remember my brothers was heading out the door	1392.0464
1210		1392.3733	and my father stopped 'em and said, no,	1394.5943
1212		1394.9745	we're- Instead of us going out there to do what everybody else is doing we are gonna sit here and we're gonna pray.	1400.2223
1214		1400.6893	We're gonna pray,	1401.8498
1216		1402.0419	we held hands in circles and we prayed,	1405.0780
1218		1405.6743	and	1406.0425
1220		1406.1585	as we praying we could see people running	1408.5356
1222		1409.0947	outside with	1409.8670
1224		1409.9631	televisions, sofas and stuff like that you know.	1412.9965
1226		1413.5221	And as a kid, being honest	1415.2549
1228		1415.9912	I just didn't get it.	1416.9517
1230		1417.1211	I just didn't understand what was we learning from that I mean you know,	1421.1057
1232		1421.6780	Dr. Martin Luther King he-	1423.0887
1234		1423.4228	he taught me so much.	1425.0075
1236		1425.5305	And what he taught me was not	1427.2793
1238		1427.7155	to go out there and break in a store	1430.0500
1240		1430.1621	and steal.	1430.9904
1242		1431.3760	I-	1431.5841
1244		1431.6761	I- it- that just wasn't what he taught me.	1434.2173
1246		1435.0885	But,	1435.4006
1248		1436.4571	I didn't like it.	1437.2415
1250		1437.4043	just like I didn't like it- you know I mean it was-	1439.3772
1252		1439.4733	it's so many other ways we could have went.	1441.3541
1253	DCB_int_01	1441.9798	Mm-hm.	1442.4760
1254	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1442.5521	But we didn't.	1443.2924
1256		1444.0247	you know, we- we- we decided to, okay let's go bust into stores and	1448.3069
1258		1448.4389	this that and get this that and the other and-	1450.5399
1260		1451.4723	But our mothers didn't allow us to do that,	1453.2990
1262		1453.4200	you know so we wasn't involved.	1455.3529
1264		1455.7811	But she did send us to the store	1457.5264
1266		1458.5451	and right there on top of Sears and Roebuck on Alabama Avenue where it was,	1462.7998
1268		1463.5942	not- all I could see was nothing but army men with	1465.9913
1270		1466.5236	guns like this.	1467.8502
1272		1468.3151	And I remember one of 'em hollering at us telling us,	1471.0938
1274		1471.5980	go back home!	1472.3544
1276		1472.4624	Go back home!	1473.2548
1278		1473.3829	And we took off running.	1474.7595
1280		1475.0504	And we went back home, told our mother, we can't go to the store, they got-	1478.3359
1282		1479.0150	they got army men,	1480.2796
1284		1480.4156	in- in my day they were army men,	1482.4846
1286		1482.7047	on top of Sears.	1483.9474
1288		1484.4242	And then she said, okay well we just gonna have to do without.	1487.1975
1290		1487.5097	So.	1487.8750
1291	DCB_int_01	1488.9691	Wow.	1489.5014
1292	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1490.7659	Until it was all over.	1492.0673
1294		1492.6828	But I just- I just remember-	1494.2796
1296		1494.7986	I remember my father and mother walking us through the neighborhood and I- I remember just crying.	1499.8769
1298		1500.3239	Cause I'm seeing all the	1501.5972
1300		1502.0807	black stores	1502.9731
1302		1503.1720	torn down,	1503.9323
1304		1504.0364	burnt down, you [know]	1505.3410
1305	DCB_int_01	1505.0168	[mm-hm.]	1505.6171

1308		1506.9857	glass busted and	1508.2651
1310		1509.2935	I was sad.	1510.0375
1312		1510.3700	I was sad about it.	1511.4025
1314		1512.5270	You know.	1513.0377
1316		1513.3422	Me and my son	1514.1505
1318		1514.5787	yester- other day we had a conversation /right/ because	1517.1399
1320		1517.5669	his views are different because he young, he like, well Ma,	1520.6643

1328		1526.5472	you know and this that, yeah that's okay /RD-NAME-2/ that's your opinion.	1529.9928
1330		1531.1000	But I still say it starts at home.	1533.3840
1331	DCB_int_01	1534.1134	Mm-hm.	1534.5096
1332	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1534.6177	It starts at home.	1535.6769
1334		1536.3132	P- These kids cannot come to the Boys and Girls Club and get raised, they can't go to church and get raised and they can't go to school and get raised.	1543.0711
1336		1543.5513	Have to start	1544.2126
1338		1544.8707	With the parents.	1545.7987
1340		1545.9352	Right there at the house.	1546.9236
1342		1547.8641	And all the time my father wasn't in the house or my r- my mother she did a	1551.6206
1344		1552.2769	excellent job raising us though.	1554.2338
1345	DCB_int_01	1556.5696	And do you think that	1557.8056
1347		1558.9415	like	1559.3056

1358		1572.7654	Do you feel like that's changing?	1574.0500
1359	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1576.8794	In my day	1577.8559
1361		1577.9493	to this day,	1578.8697

1501		1739.1068	certain rights you know like-	1740.9247
1503		1741.2198	like Congress I think the people in Congress I- I just think they	1744.4080
1505		1744.5601	they not right.	1745.1804
1507		1746.0888	They ain't right	1746.9022
1509		1747.0106	you know.	1747.5866
1511		1747.9791	They just not right but	1749.4758
1513		1750.3149	you know	1750.7831
1515		1750.9232	what can we do?	1751.8836
1517		1751.9957	That's why it's so important for us to vote.	1754.2007
1518	DCB_int_01	1754.9278	Mm-hm.	1755.2920
1519	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1755.4601	It's very [important for /us to vote/]	1757.5450
1520	DCB_int_01	1756.1604	[Because you were- When black people-	1758.0252
1521		1758.1813	before when they couldn't vote.	1759.4725
1522	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1759.4847	That's right.	1760.0930
1523	DCB_int_01	1760.3411	And-	1760.9213
1524	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1760.9333	That's right.	1761.5176
1525	DCB_int_01	1761.7617	and how do you feel like knowing that has really affected you as an adult?	1765.7796
1526	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1767.2230	I think- I think it affected me	1769.2079
1528		1769.3120	a lot	1769.7813
1530		1769.9163	but,	1770.1829
1532		1771.2330	n- But when I-	1772.1454
1534		1772.2535	when I first knew I could vote	1773.7822
1536		1774.1263	oh, I- I think I was the first one in line, I was so proud of that I was-	1777.9801
1538		1778.3831	I felt like	1779.0274
1540		1779.1514	you know I was accomplishing something.	1781.2324
1542		1781.5233	Oh my god I can vote now, you know.	1783.8404
1544		1784.2045	I have an opinion	1785.4691
1546		1785.8493	on	1786.0974
1548		1786.2535	on certain things you know	1787.6508
1550		1787.8330	and	1788.0811
1552		1789.3016	you know I-	1790.0416
1554		1790.1540	I'm glad we di- I'm glad I did live to see a-	1792.6539
1556		1792.7980	a black President in office because I thought that would never happen.	1796.3677
1558		1797.5670	I ain't never thought [we would have a black-]	1799.3838
1559	DCB_int_01	1798.5194	[Did you have to stand in line] a long time to vote?	1800.2794
1560	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1800.4003	Mm-hm.	1800.8230
1562		1801.3795	And just like I'm'a vote	1802.7161
1564		1802.8642	because	1803.2924
1566		1803.4004	you know	1803.9578
1568		1804.2768	it'd be a shock if	1805.5395
1570		1805.7003	Hillary	1806.3285
1572		1806.7848	became	1807.3650
1574		1807.7132	President, she'd be our first woman President.	1810.5265
1576		1811.2816	So,	1811.7418
1578		1812.1740	things like that yes,	1813.5153
1580		1813.6627	I see change	1814.6947
1582		1814.8672	in that.	1815.2714
1584		1815.7664	Because at one time you know they wouldn't even consider	1818.6438
1586		1819.2240	a black person to get- going into the White House?	1822.0601
1588		1822.2042	Please.	1822.8788
1590		1823.4607	But	1823.7089
1592		1823.8729	things like that, yes	1825.3456
1594		1825.6165	has changed.	1826.4849
1596		1826.9411	You know,	1827.3613
1598		1827.4654	have changed.	1828.1587
1600		1828.5138	I /???/ things like-	1830.0025
1602		1831.5874	a lot of things they have to for the kids today,	1833.8738
1604		1833.9699	yes.	1834.3594
1606		1834.5982	Change.	1835.0435
1608		1835.3785	Computers?	1836.1212
1610		1836.4670	Yes.	1836.9750
1612		1837.5355	Back in my day there was no computers.	1839.7606
1614		1840.2195	Everything we learned	1841.5401
1616		1841.7923	it had to come from here.	1842.8888
1618		1843.3210	We didn't have computers, iPods,	1845.7823
1620		1845.8875	all that.	1846.3849
1622		1846.5438	No we ain't have that.	1847.4082
1624		1848.4155	We ain't have that.	1849.0838
1625	DCB_int_01	1849.2158	Do you think kids are better off or worse because [of it?]	1851.4609
1626	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1851.2127	[I think] they worse.	1852.3221
1627		1852.9203	I really do.	1853.5470
1629		1853.8527	Because they- they- they got all this internet	1856.0674
1630	DCB_int_01	1856.0165	[Mm-hm.]	1856.7392
1631	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1856.2006	[and they got] th- all this TV,	1858.1295
1632		1858.5537	and you know and-	1859.5661
1634		1859.8302	and- and- and Facebooking and	1861.9609
1636		1862.4102	you know stuff like that.	1863.5547
1638		1863.8749	I never knew how to do that.	1865.0634
1640		1865.2489	You know and in a way I-	1866.4815
1642		1866.7216	like my sons ask me, Mom you wanna learn? No.	1869.2349
1644		1870.2420	Because I don't want	1871.1584
1646		1871.5386	my business all over Facebook and I don't want	1874.5519
1648		1875.3511	somebody putting my	1876.5951
1650		1876.8278	business on Facebook, Facebook don't know me and I don't know Facebook.	1880.8204
1652		1880.9404	So,	1881.2966
1654		1881.5287	let's [just leave it at that.]	1882.9227

1659		1887.6236	Don't take no pictures of me.	1888.6783
1660	DCB_int_01	1888.8522	What I miss is- and I was- I was always the little chubby kid so I didn't double dutch and stuff like that but I did-	1894.4536

1663	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1896.9975	[Mm-hm.]	1897.6255
1664	DCB_int_01	1897.4217	[and kids] just don't	1898.4302
1665		1898.5822	do that [these days.]	1900.0269
1666	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1899.0905	Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-hm-	1900.4311
1667		1901.9145	That's what I mean /RD-NAME-2/, they don't do that.	1903.5473
1669		1903.9795	We went to the park,	1905.0280
1671		1905.4189	our parents took us to the park,	1906.9436
1673		1907.3238	we jumped double dutch, you know we- we did a lot.	1909.7741
1675		1909.8717	Play hop scotch you know play tag.	1912.2488
1677		1912.9251	But that's not the games that the kids today wanna play.	1915.7585
1679		1916.4655	They wanna play	1917.2495
1681		1917.4820	grown-up games.	1918.4007
1683		1918.7826	They wanna play like, oh,	1920.1660

1699		1940.7906	like I tell 'em,	1941.5506
1701		1941.6990	when my mother was on welfare	1943.3274
1703		1943.4238	we couldn't have irons,	1944.7844
1705		1945.0113	that was a /luxtury/.	1946.1060
1707		1946.8761	We couldn't have TVs,	1948.2782
1709		1948.3982	that was a /luxtury/. Our TV we had to put a quarter in the back in order for it to work.	1952.8871
1711		1953.9235	You know we had that kind of TV.	1955.5382
1713		1955.9472	You know, once the quarter ran out-	1957.6600
1714	DCB_int_01	1957.7761	[/??/] That was it.	1958.9041
1715	DCB_se1_ag4_f_01	1957.7841	[<laugh>]	1958.2227
1716		1959.0087	That was it.	1959.5566
1718		1959.7530	Our parents like,	1960.7375
1720		1961.3325	Mom could you put another- No, that's all the TV you needed today.	1965.4744
1722		1965.9934	It's that.	1966.5377
1724		1967.2300	Color TV? No, we put the color paper	1969.6551
1726		1969.8900	on top o- in front of the TV to make it color but we didn't have color TV.	1974.1599
1728		1974.6842	But like I say, when we was on public assistance,	1976.6078
1730		1977.2761	my mother couldn't have my father in the house	1979.2771
1732		1979.8281	we couldn't have a iron,	1980.9886
