199 | | 306.5935 | growing up- I remember five years old, I was just playing football all the time. I'm a very | 309.9601 |
201 | | 310.1839 | big sports f- fan- fanatic. | 311.8439 |

205 | | 316.1606 | growing up, uh, we didn't have a basketball court til I turned eight. | 318.6506 |
207 | | 319.0318 | So, that's when I discovered basketball, so I would play basketball all the time, so. | 322.5336 |

212 | DCB_int_01 | 328.9067 | Then are you a Wizards fan? | 330.0397 |
213 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 330.2915 | I am not a Wizards fan. | 331.3942 |
214 | DCB_int_01 | 331.7732 | What's [your basketball] team? | 332.5985 |

218 | | 334.3471 | My basketball team is the Lakers. | 335.4429 |
220 | | 336.3848 | Growing up, foot- | 337.1344 |
222 | | 337.3628 | Like, basketball wasn't really my sport, | 339.3539 |
224 | | 339.8622 | and | 340.0580 |
226 | | 340.4870 | so I'd- I- | 341.1351 |
228 | | 341.3683 | I was bor- I was ber- b- | 342.6459 |
230 | | 342.7811 | /bredded/ into being a Redskin fan. | 344.2301 |

232 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 344.8876 | So the f- f- uh- the professional football teams, I didn't discover until I was eight. | 348.4967 |
234 | | 348.7905 | And then when I discovered that, I read a book about Kobe Bryant, | 351.4705 |
236 | | 352.1326 | and then that's when I became a Laker's fan. | 353.7273 |
237 | DCB_int_01 | 354.0864 | Gotcha. | 354.5480 |
239 | | 355.1810 | So, | 355.8431 |
241 | | 356.6405 | I'll ask you about the bad stuff in a minute, | 358.5243 |
243 | | 359.1165 | but | 359.5082 |
245 | | 359.7693 | did you grow up in an apartment, a [townhome-] | 361.9550 |
246 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 361.3675 | [Uh, house.] | 362.0203 |
247 | | 362.2255 | Town- Would you call it a townhome? | 363.6150 |
249 | | 364.1419 | I wouldn't call it a townhome. | 365.2097 |
251 | | 365.8719 | I would just call it a house. | 366.9677 |
252 | DCB_int_01 | 367.2836 | A house? | 367.7452 |
253 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 367.7266 | Yeah. | 367.9737 |
254 | DCB_int_01 | 368.0250 | Are you an only child? | 368.8876 |
255 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 369.0695 | No. | 369.3726 |
257 | | 369.4985 | I have four sisters. | 370.4077 |
258 | DCB_int_01 | 370.9486 | And you're the only brother? I mean [the only] | 372.4920 |

260 | DCB_int_01 | 372.6739 | [boy.] | 373.0376 |
261 | | 373.5260 | Okay, so tell me about that [experience?] | 375.4705 |
262 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 375.3726 | [Um], to be honest with you, it wasn't that bad because my sisters are way older than me. | 379.2754 |
263 | | 379.4608 | The sister | 380.1136 |
265 | | 380.4353 | older than me is- She's nine years, | 382.2072 |
267 | | 382.5336 | so | 382.9486 |
269 | | 383.2424 | she kind of raised me and my little sister. So it was just me and her. | 385.6333 |
271 | | 386.2628 | But the rest of my sisters, they was already out the house. | 388.0394 |
273 | | 389.1771 | The only time- | 389.8252 |
275 | | 390.1283 | I- I will say we probably- They- | 391.5260 |
277 | | 391.7032 | They was in the house probably when I was, what? | 393.4052 |
279 | | 394.7248 | I wanna say from like, | 395.6387 |
281 | | 396.3195 | three to | 397.4141 |
283 | | 399.8202 | t- | 399.9554 |
285 | | 400.1046 | to probably six years old? So that's the only time I experienced a lot of | 402.9478 |
287 | | 403.0877 | women in the house. And you know, females can't get along. So my sisters used to fight all the time. | 406.9346 |
288 | DCB_int_01 | 408.4734 | And you were just the innocent little boy? | 409.8898 |
289 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 410.5892 | I wouldn't say innocent, but <laugh> | 412.8274 |
291 | | 413.2843 | yes, I was- I w- I wouldn't necessa- say- say my older sisters were really focused on me | 417.4751 |
293 | | 417.8948 | too much. Like, it's- it's just probably just me and my little sister | 420.5527 |
295 | | 420.9991 | and my mother and father. | 421.9923 |
297 | | 422.6405 | So they was kind of- You know how they- they into their own thing. | 425.3683 |
298 | DCB_int_01 | 426.1237 | I do. | 426.5900 |
299 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 426.6832 | Yeah. | 427.0562 |
300 | DCB_int_01 | 427.1495 | I do. | 427.6053 |
302 | | 428.1136 | Um, | 428.7757 |
304 | | 429.4425 | [so now-] | 430.2818 |
305 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 429.7689 | [So-] | 430.1326 |
306 | | 430.3658 | to answer your question, it wasn't that bad. | 431.6807 |
308 | | 431.8346 | [<laugh> No.] | 432.8324 |
309 | DCB_int_01 | 432.0071 | [It wasn't that bad.] | 432.8231 |
310 | | 433.0504 | Which I'm surprised cause it was just you and your dad were the only guys in the [house] right? And then, four women, | 437.5128 |
311 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 435.9181 | [Yeah.] | 436.1886 |
312 | DCB_int_01 | 437.8812 | but at different times, so it wasn't too bad. | 439.9877 |
313 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 440.0017 | No. | 440.2908 |
314 | DCB_int_01 | 440.7477 | So, | 441.2700 |
316 | | 441.4938 | thinking about- | 442.2725 |
318 | | 442.4637 | Have you gone back to your neighborhood? | 443.8066 |
319 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 444.3568 | I go back there all the time. My- my friends, they- What they did was they- they | 447.7278 |
321 | | 447.8388 | s- tore down the neighborhood, and they rebuilt it. | 449.6107 |
323 | | 449.7320 | And a lot of people that used to live there moved back. So one of my friends- Well, my best friend, | 453.6290 |
325 | | 453.7456 | he's- | 454.0440 |
327 | | 454.3145 | they move- one of the people that moved back, so I go there- I go there often. | 456.9152 |
329 | | 457.5260 | Well I used to anyway. | 458.3421 |
330 | DCB_int_01 | 459.3586 | So tell me about these friends you used to hang out with. | 461.6900 |
331 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 461.9045 | <laugh> | 462.1983 |
333 | | 462.9945 | Oh you wanna know the names specifically or? | 464.7011 |
334 | DCB_int_01 | 464.9576 | You can if you want, or you can just talk about them. | 467.1305 |
335 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 467.2331 | Okay. Well, | 468.3242 |
337 | | 468.4920 | my friend- | 469.3395 |
339 | | 470.9902 | my friend /RD-NAME-2/, | 472.3564 |
341 | | 473.7320 | we- we- we all- It's a group us. It's- | 475.8664 |
343 | | 477.1394 | it's me, | 477.6850 |
345 | | 478.2212 | Fat Man, which is named /RD-NAME-4/, | 480.5060 |
347 | | 480.6541 | /RD-NAME-2/, /RD-NAME-5/, | 482.1928 |
349 | | 482.6125 | /RD-NAME-2/, /RD-NAME-4/. We all grew up since we were s- | 485.5501 |
351 | | 485.8113 | three years old. | 486.4594 |
353 | | 487.7499 | Cause I- My- | 488.5612 |
355 | | 488.7897 | I used to live in North- My family's from Northwest. | 490.8087 |
357 | | 491.2750 | And me and my- me and my sister are the only two that grew up in Southeast. | 494.0157 |
358 | DCB_int_01 | 494.7244 | Gotcha. | 495.1301 |
359 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 495.2606 | [All my sisters], | 496.0347 |
360 | DCB_int_01 | 495.2840 | [What part of Northwest?] | 496.4357 |
361 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 496.2072 | [they] went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 497.5128 |
362 | | 497.9325 | Um, | 498.5107 |
364 | | 499.2136 | what's that- Rand- Randolph Street. My grandmother still has a house off Randolph Street. | 502.1233 |
366 | | 502.7295 | So when I was born, we lived in Jefferson- | 505.2568 |
368 | | 505.8291 | on Jefferson Street for two years. | 507.3259 |
370 | | 507.7876 | So I don't recall any of that. | 509.0232 |
372 | | 509.7180 | I just remember moving to Southeast when I was three years old. | 512.2162 |
374 | | 513.3819 | So we s- | 515.3170 |
376 | | 515.5128 | So we grew up, | 516.6086 |
378 | | 516.9245 | since we was three years old. | 517.9131 |
380 | | 518.7897 | Uh, when I was twelve, that's when they tore down the neighborhood. | 521.5082 |
381 | DCB_int_01 | 521.5734 | Mm. | 521.8019 |
382 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 521.8625 | So | 522.4594 |
384 | | 523.2463 | as children we was all tight. | 524.8783 |
386 | | 525.0555 | Uh, we just- All we did was play basketball. /?/ | 527.1724 |
388 | | 527.7646 | We wasn't really into doing anything | 529.7032 |
390 | | 530.4819 | negative. We would have uh, | 531.9461 |
392 | | 532.1606 | rock fights, | 532.9533 |
394 | | 533.5688 | um, | 534.1563 |
396 | | 534.6261 | sling /shock/ fights. That's- that's all about it- That's all that we- We wasn't really into none of the | 539.3869 |
398 | | 540.1143 | crime or doing anything | 541.6706 |
400 | | 542.0157 | bad or anything like that. | 543.1347 |
402 | | 543.8715 | My group of friends wasn't. | 544.9906 |
404 | | 546.7147 | So when we got older, we- we s- we split up. I moved to Southwest for uh, | 550.4917 |
406 | | 551.7879 | two years | 552.3382 |
407 | DCB_int_01 | 552.7147 | Mm. | 552.9618 |
408 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 552.9525 | when I was thirteen or fourteen. | 554.3187 |
409 | | 555.4378 | And um, my other friends, they moved to uh- You ever heard of Woodland? | 559.3780 |
410 | DCB_int_01 | 559.8058 | Mm-hm. | 560.2628 |
411 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 560.6032 | My other friend /RD-NAME-2/, he moved to Woodland. | 562.2865 |
413 | | 562.4823 | My friend /RD-NAME-2/, he moved back to- him and his family's from Barry Far- They moved back to Barry Farms. | 566.3700 |
415 | | 566.9809 | And my other friend, he moved up the street by Seven District. | 569.5035 |
416 | DCB_int_01 | 571.2183 | So, | 571.9271 |
418 | | 572.1509 | okay. | 572.6265 |
420 | | 573.9601 | So you were the only one who moved out of [Southeast?] | 576.3755 |
421 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 576.1656 | [Yes.] | 576.5760 |
422 | DCB_int_01 | 577.2276 | So how was that? | 578.4680 |
424 | | 578.5985 | Do you feel like- Were you able to go back? | 580.9067 |
425 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 581.3823 | Uh, | 581.9418 |
427 | | 582.2542 | no because that neighborhood was gone. So I- we didn't go back to that neighborhood, but I would go visit my friends. | 586.4450 |
429 | | 587.0559 | All the time. | 587.6387 |
431 | | 587.8252 | Uh, they would come visit me in Southwest. | 589.4887 |
433 | | 589.9457 | And when I moved to Southwest I was- It was kind of like- | 592.4357 |
435 | | 593.2144 | I didn't know that | 594.3755 |
437 | | 595.2836 | Southwest was that bad of a neighborhood. | 597.2840 |
439 | | 597.5404 | Just- just as bad as Southeast. | 599.0186 |
441 | | 599.6294 | So it wasn't really no transition. | 601.3209 |
443 | | 601.8338 | Like it [would be] gunshots right outside my backyard. | 604.4590 |
444 | DCB_int_01 | 602.2535 | [Hm.] | 602.5426 |
445 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 605.2937 | So Southwest is s- well was, cause it's different now, was just as bad as Southeast. | 609.6803 |
446 | DCB_int_01 | 610.0627 | What part of Southwest? | 611.2564 |
447 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 611.1911 | Uh, | 611.7973 |
448 | | 612.1097 | t- what is that called? | 613.4841 |
450 | | 614.9296 | I forgot the name of it. Um, | 616.5196 |
452 | | 617.5408 | right there | 618.2636 |
454 | | 618.5329 | across the street | 619.4561 |
456 | | 619.9037 | from the Nationals Stadium. | 621.4985 |
457 | DCB_int_01 | 622.4264 | Oh, f- | 622.7435 |
458 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 622.7481 | You know where Waterfront Station is? | 624.2822 |
459 | DCB_int_01 | 624.5573 | Mm-hm. | 624.9024 |
460 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 625.0131 | Right there, in that area. | 626.0390 |
462 | | 626.5752 | Before they built all that stuff up, right there. | 628.4264 |
463 | DCB_int_01 | 628.7714 | Mm-hm. | 629.1621 |
465 | | 629.3403 | By the- by- by Arena Stage. | 631.3116 |
466 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 633.6477 | Um, you know where I Street is? | 634.9906 |
467 | DCB_int_01 | 635.5641 | Mm-hm. | 635.8952 |
468 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 636.0584 | Yeah. | 636.3848 |
469 | DCB_int_01 | 636.8686 | [Like this] | 637.4141 |
470 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 636.8779 | [It was /off I Street-/] | 637.4654 |
471 | DCB_int_01 | 637.6286 | condos, apartments or [something- /It was a lot./] | 639.6756 |
472 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 638.8363 | [Yeah it was condos and] there was- it's some houses. | 640.8880 |
473 | | 641.0186 | on your uh, | 641.6667 |
475 | | 641.9325 | right hand side. | 642.6459 |
477 | | 642.9991 | And the- I think it was called Green Leaf something. | 644.7804 |
479 | | 644.9063 | Green Leaf- | 645.2513 |
481 | | 645.5497 | I don't remember the name of the neighborhood. | 647.0699 |
482 | DCB_int_01 | 647.8206 | So going back for a second because I think it was really interesting. You're like, I'm not gonna tell you the bad stuff. | 651.8715 |
483 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 652.0347 | [<laugh>] | 652.3751 |
484 | DCB_int_01 | 652.2492 | [But] then you just talked about [like, the gunshots] [and-] | 654.6972 |
485 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 653.0139 | [Because I don't- I don't-] | 653.8532 |
487 | | 654.4769 | [I-] I personally don't like to talk about that because I don't- I- | 657.2886 |
488 | | 657.5358 | I don't think that's | 658.4637 |
490 | | 658.7528 | relevant to anything. Like, I mean ever- Of course, everybody grows up in a bad area, | 662.7058 |
492 | | 663.3073 | and everybody goes through that stuff. | 664.6782 |
493 | DCB_int_01 | 664.6968 | Right. | 664.9346 |
494 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 665.0139 | But I don't- I don't like to glorify it | 666.4827 |
496 | | 666.6039 | cause I don't think that's important. | 667.9037 |
497 | DCB_int_01 | 668.0623 | Was it [the neighborhood-] It wasn't you specifically? | 670.2818 |
498 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 668.3560 | [But it-] | 668.6451 |
500 | | 669.9927 | Nah, nah, nah. | 670.7481 |
501 | DCB_int_01 | 670.7714 | Okay. | 671.0605 |
503 | | 672.2496 | Um, | 672.8138 |
505 | | 673.5447 | so what do you feel like was your | 674.9016 |
507 | | 675.1114 | best memory | 676.3331 |
508 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 676.7155 | [From?] | 677.2564 |
509 | DCB_int_01 | 676.7201 | [in- before] you moved. | 678.1330 |
510 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 678.7345 | Just- To be honest with you, just being with my friends. Like, I- Like, to this day, we still are tight. So I j- I love hanging with my friends. We- | 685.2649 |
512 | | 686.1835 | Uh, I don't have one specific memory | 688.2772 |
514 | | 688.7061 | to be truthfully honest with you. | 689.9838 |
516 | | 691.5773 | But it's j- it's just- just being able to go outside and just hang with them all night- all nights of the hour- til four, five o'clock in the morning. | 698.0157 |
518 | | 698.4493 | <laugh> | 698.7757 |
519 | DCB_int_01 | 699.4052 | So now going back to the neighborhood, right? | 701.8765 |
521 | | 703.2929 | It's d- very different, | 704.3887 |
523 | | 704.6451 | I'm assuming. | 705.3959 |
524 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 705.7736 | [Yeah.] | 706.1326 |
525 | DCB_int_01 | 705.9321 | [When] they rebuilt [it.] | 707.2704 |
526 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 706.8927 | [Yeah.] | 707.2470 |
527 | DCB_int_01 | 707.7786 | Um, what differences do you see now, | 710.0763 |
529 | | 710.1975 | and does it feel the same? | 711.6523 |
530 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 711.6570 | In the neighborhood, [or-] | 712.8181 |
531 | DCB_int_01 | 712.6362 | [H-] Back to Fifteenth, like that area | 714.5666 |
532 | | 714.7345 | because- | 715.1029 |
533 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 715.1903 | Uh, [the difference] is they- | 716.7011 |
534 | DCB_int_01 | 715.4095 | [Like you f-] | 715.8338 |
535 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 717.2933 | they- | 717.7642 |
537 | | 718.1932 | The people are still the same. It's just the- | 720.2076 |
539 | | 720.4827 | the area look different. Like, th- | 721.9737 |
541 | | 722.2395 | Have you seen the news where um, the two- the men | 725.0419 |
543 | | 725.1864 | got raped? | 725.5734 |

547 | | 727.0096 | by four men? | 727.6799 |
549 | | 728.0763 | They- | 728.2721 |
551 | | 729.5124 | Well that's- that's the neighborhood where I grew up in. | 731.4324 |
553 | | 731.5828 | That's by the Giant. | 732.6226 |
555 | | 733.0971 | I'm surprised you didn't see that on the news. | 734.4167 |
556 | DCB_int_01 | 734.8363 | I try not to watch the news. | 736.3051 |
557 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 736.1606 | <laugh> | 736.8041 |
558 | DCB_int_01 | 736.8973 | Purposely. | 737.5734 |
559 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 737.5874 | Okay. | 737.8486 |
560 | DCB_int_01 | 738.1190 | Mm-hm. | 738.4407 |
561 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 738.6914 | Well yeah yeah yeah. They- They built a um- | 740.9669 |
563 | | 741.3726 | <ts> | 741.4751 |
565 | | 741.5591 | We had a um- | 742.4124 |
567 | | 743.5595 | We had a shopping center. | 744.5375 |
569 | | 744.7194 | We had- It's called Lee's Market, and we had our carry out called /What Luck/. | 747.9647 |
571 | | 748.9486 | So that area, they tore that down. They built a um, | 751.4002 |
573 | | 751.8151 | a Giant right there [and] | 753.4938 |
574 | DCB_int_01 | 753.1674 | [Hm.] | 753.5264 |

595 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 775.7872 | My father grew up in DC. He just was born in Maryland. | 778.2352 |
596 | DCB_int_01 | 778.7248 | Oh, he grew up in [DC as well?] | 780.1848 |
597 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 779.3729 | [Yeah s- same] neighborhood as my mother. | 781.0318 |
598 | DCB_int_01 | 781.2136 | So how'd your parents meet? | 782.1416 |
600 | | 782.3001 | Do you know? | 782.7244 |

605 | | 789.4425 | and he was playing football in the alley with his friends. | 791.9745 |
607 | | 792.2496 | And he said my mother seen him, and my father's real real dark, | 794.9715 |

613 | | 799.0376 | And | 799.4000 |
615 | | 799.8245 | that's how he uh- he | 801.2700 |
617 | | 801.4238 | got introduced to my mother. Cause my mother, she's a- she's a real calm chill person now, but she said in her childhood, she was a real | 807.2047 |
619 | | 808.3658 | uh- I don't wanna say, she was a | 810.0211 |
621 | | 811.3255 | troubled child. Like she would fight all the time, beat people up. So she was real aggressive. | 815.2750 |
623 | | 816.0724 | So my father tells me that story all the time. | 817.9224 |
624 | DCB_int_01 | 818.4493 | How old were they when they met? | 819.5404 |

632 | DCB_int_01 | 830.1369 | Wow. | 830.6358 |
634 | | 830.8037 | And they were together that whole time? | 832.5523 |
635 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 833.0559 | Uh, not necessarily together, but that's- that's how long they knew each other. | 835.8758 |
636 | DCB_int_01 | 835.9504 | Oh, okay. | 836.5519 |
638 | | 836.7804 | Um, | 837.5078 |
640 | | 838.0207 | and then, how did- Do you know how they kind of ended up together [together?] | 841.7219 |
641 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 841.4887 | [I] do not know this story. | 842.6685 |
642 | DCB_int_01 | 842.6358 | You do not [know the s-] | 843.3912 |

644 | DCB_int_01 | 843.9135 | [<laugh> Now, you're gonna go like], look, let me talk [to you for] a minute. | 847.0423 |
645 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 846.2811 | [<laugh>] | 846.7100 |
646 | DCB_int_01 | 847.4375 | Um, | 847.9923 |
648 | | 848.3514 | okay. So then, your parents- You started in Northwest. | 851.3403 |
649 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 851.4522 | Yeah. | 851.7786 |
650 | DCB_int_01 | 852.0631 | And then, | 852.7578 |
652 | | 853.0598 | how did- Do you know how parents moved to [Southeast?] | 855.6943 |
653 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 855.4052 | [My mother] was | 856.1792 |
654 | | 856.3658 | tr- | 857.2424 |
656 | | 857.5361 | sh- | 858.4407 |
658 | | 858.5841 | I'm- I'm- I think something | 860.1975 |
660 | | 860.5286 | /dramastically/ happened in Jefferson Street with my father. | 864.1330 |
662 | | 864.8593 | So my mother wanted to move from that area. | 867.0601 |
663 | DCB_int_01 | 867.1487 | Mm. | 867.4798 |
664 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 867.9088 | So I'm not sure she was familiar with Southeast | 870.1283 |
666 | | 870.6319 | because she- she said she wanted to get out of a bad neighborhood. | 872.9622 |
668 | | 873.2187 | But she moved- end up moving to another bad neighborhood (laughing). | 875.4056 |
670 | | 875.9418 | But she said um, | 877.0702 |
672 | | 877.6473 | she was looking for somewhere to live, and she said Northwest was too expensive. | 880.4357 |
674 | | 880.6222 | So she moved to Southeast, | 881.9418 |
676 | | 882.3895 | where it was less expensive. | 883.7405 |
677 | DCB_int_01 | 884.4027 | Gotcha. | 884.8130 |
679 | | 885.2047 | And then, | 885.8482 |
681 | | 886.5429 | so now- Do your fam- Does your fam- Are- Is your family still really close now? | 890.1462 |

696 | | 908.5985 | um, when you say y'all are close, what makes you close? Like, do y'all have family [traditions?] | 913.5494 |

831 | DCB_int_01 | 1060.9067 | [So how was that?] | 1061.6854 |
832 | | 1063.0283 | Okay. | 1063.3127 |
833 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1063.6380 | I was in /RD-SCHOOL-2/, right? | 1064.8456 |
835 | | 1065.1021 | And | 1065.5917 |
837 | | 1065.9508 | I- I tell my mother this story all the time. | 1067.6434 |
839 | | 1068.5189 | I- | 1068.7298 |
841 | | 1069.2136 | In eighth grade I- I had too much fun. | 1070.9436 |
843 | | 1071.2840 | I was- I was enjoying myself. I was with my friends all the time. We wouldn't do- I didn't take school that seriously. | 1077.1907 |
844 | DCB_int_01 | 1077.3119 | Mm. | 1077.5731 |
845 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1078.0440 | So I got a F on my report card. | 1079.8019 |
847 | | 1080.9012 | And my mother said, no, you're not gonna be with your friends no more. | 1083.1907 |
848 | DCB_int_01 | 1083.9368 | [<laugh>] | 1084.8554 |
849 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1084.2585 | [Mind you], I wanted to become a /fress/- professional basketball player. I thought I was that good at the time. | 1088.7770 |
850 | | 1089.3446 | And I just joined uh, the basketball team, | 1091.6527 |
852 | | 1091.9745 | and the coach, he loved me. | 1093.2474 |
854 | | 1093.9690 | So I begged my mom. I said, mom, please don't- Please let me go back to school cause I wanna play on the basketball team. She would not let me go. | 1099.4934 |
856 | | 1100.0669 | So she said, okay, I'm'a- I'm'a take you away from your friends, | 1102.8880 |
858 | | 1103.5315 | because she- she didn't like the fact that I got a F on my report card. I n- I always got good grades. | 1107.5451 |
860 | | 1108.0160 | I always got good grades. | 1109.0092 |
862 | | 1109.6247 | So she said, okay, I'm'a take you away from your friends, and I went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 1112.3747 |
864 | | 1113.1581 | So I feel like she ruined my NBA career. | 1114.8927 |
865 | DCB_int_01 | 1116.6214 | I'm sorry. | 1117.1437 |
866 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1117.1903 | [<laugh>] | 1118.9855 |
867 | DCB_int_01 | 1117.6193 | [<laugh>] | 1119.0928 |
868 | | 1119.9647 | I could be watching you on TV. | 1121.3030 |
869 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1121.4196 | I don't think so, but in my- in- [in my head- in mine head], that's how I feel. | 1125.1954 |
870 | DCB_int_01 | 1123.2090 | [In your mind.] | 1124.2628 |
871 | | 1125.2513 | [Okay.] | 1125.8482 |
872 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1125.4938 | [<laugh>] | 1126.8600 |
873 | DCB_int_01 | 1126.1326 | [Well go- go.] I'm'a let you live in that fantasy. I'm not [gonna take that away from] you. | 1129.4561 |
874 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1128.3102 | [<laugh>] | 1129.0189 |
875 | | 1129.5867 | Please don't. | 1130.1416 |
876 | DCB_int_01 | 1130.1835 | I won't. So I coulda been watching you on [NBA TV.] | 1132.2725 |
877 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1131.5171 | [Yeah, you coulda-] Yes, you coulda have. | 1133.0512 |
878 | DCB_int_01 | 1133.3636 | <ts> And the season starts soon. | 1134.6599 |
879 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1134.6587 | Yeah. | 1134.8732 |
880 | DCB_int_01 | 1135.0644 | /Mm/, well we'll see what [happens.] | 1136.4120 |
881 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1135.9410 | [<laugh>] | 1137.3586 |
882 | DCB_int_01 | 1136.7850 | [Um], | 1137.3446 |
883 | | 1137.9881 | so how was high school, then? | 1139.3543 |
884 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1139.7553 | When I went to- Okay. | 1140.6133 |
886 | | 1140.9852 | Have- I don't think you ever seen /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 1142.7291 |
887 | DCB_int_01 | 1143.2000 | I haven't. | 1143.7036 |
888 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1144.1699 | It looks like a church. | 1145.1072 |
890 | | 1146.1190 | This school- This area right here is bigger than what my high school was. | 1149.1907 |
892 | | 1150.3658 | So when I first got there, I said- | 1152.1330 |
894 | | 1152.3708 | I said, okay Mom, where's the school? | 1153.8347 |
896 | | 1154.2255 | And she said, this is it. I said- I thought it was the place where you go to sign up to go [to the school.] | 1157.9045 |
897 | DCB_int_01 | 1157.4615 | [<laugh>] | 1157.9605 |
898 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1158.7298 | So I said- | 1159.4000 |
900 | | 1160.0903 | I said, ma, I said, what is this? So, the hallways I could literally touch | 1163.9092 |
902 | | 1164.3755 | the- the hallways like this. | 1165.8944 |
904 | | 1166.2908 | <laugh> So, | 1168.3797 |
906 | | 1169.3543 | we- I'm walking through the hallways, and I'm just like- I felt like I was in jail. | 1172.3281 |
908 | | 1172.6964 | I just did not like the school. I was mad cause I wasn't with my friends. | 1175.9138 |
909 | DCB_int_01 | 1176.0491 | Mm. | 1176.2915 |
910 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1176.8966 | So, | 1177.4000 |
912 | | 1177.6939 | I- | 1177.8571 |
914 | | 1178.0017 | I- | 1178.1695 |
916 | | 1178.6078 | I ain't gon- | 1178.8736 |
918 | | 1179.2280 | To be honest with you, I don't like to think about high school because I was so miserable throughout the whole four years. | 1183.2987 |
919 | DCB_int_01 | 1183.9032 | You didn't develop new [friendships?] | 1185.2974 |
920 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1184.9430 | [Of course] I developed new friendships. I still have friends from there to this day. Uh, I have two very good friends that I still talk to. | 1190.6585 |
921 | | 1191.4221 | And the rest of the people I don't- I don't really wanna be associated with none of the people that went to that school. | 1196.7518 |
922 | DCB_int_01 | 1197.9537 | Was it mostly black? [Was it mixed?] | 1200.3084 |
923 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1199.2080 | [Of course. I n- I- I] personally never went to school with | 1202.2715 |
924 | | 1202.4114 | any white people. I haven't- | 1203.7019 |
926 | | 1204.0563 | The first time me being introduced to white people was when I went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 1207.5861 |
928 | | 1208.3228 | So I've been | 1209.1062 |
930 | | 1210.4946 | around black people my whole life. | 1211.7116 |
932 | | 1211.8934 | I don't even know how it is to | 1213.6141 |
934 | | 1213.8239 | interact with white people. | 1214.8999 |
936 | | 1215.3055 | I mean I do now, but | 1216.2894 |
937 | DCB_int_01 | 1216.3407 | Right. | 1216.6298 |
938 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1216.8490 | when I was- I would say when I was nineteen years old, that's my first interaction with white people. | 1220.7098 |
940 | | 1221.1482 | And my first initial reaction was | 1223.5297 |
942 | | 1224.2991 | white people really act how they act on TV. | 1226.3617 |
944 | | 1227.3848 | Like I thought that was crazy. | 1228.5039 |
946 | | 1228.6624 | Cause they really talk like that. | 1230.0986 |
948 | | 1231.0918 | I- I never experienced that before. | 1232.6679 |
950 | | 1234.6438 | So it was a- It was not- not necessarily culture shock, but it was just like, wow this is crazy. | 1239.1715 |
952 | | 1240.1728 | Cause I've been around black people my whole life. | 1241.8701 |
953 | DCB_int_01 | 1242.7514 | Right. Cause | 1243.4182 |
955 | | 1243.8938 | that neighborhoods that you were predominantly black, [if not all black.] | 1247.1987 |
956 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1246.1635 | [Hm, m- m- I] don't know about predom- They all black, [not predominantly] black. <laugh> | 1250.3788 |
957 | DCB_int_01 | 1248.8913 | [/All black./] | 1249.3623 |
958 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1250.6352 | It's no- | 1251.1855 |
960 | | 1251.3009 | not even Spanish people. | 1252.3034 |
961 | DCB_int_01 | 1253.6230 | Mm. | 1254.4297 |
963 | | 1254.7701 | Mkay. | 1255.2177 |
965 | | 1256.7471 | So do you feel like- | 1257.9863 |
967 | | 1258.1915 | I'm'a- | 1258.5645 |
969 | | 1258.7883 | I'm'a divert for a minute cause I do wanna ask you about college. But do you feel like, | 1262.2686 |
971 | | 1262.4114 | in thinking about the city, has it changed much, like when you [look around?] | 1266.0007 |
972 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1265.1614 | [Has it changed] [much?] | 1266.4763 |
973 | DCB_int_01 | 1266.2805 | [I know] | 1266.6722 |
974 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1266.8120 | [<laugh>] | 1267.7027 |
975 | DCB_int_01 | 1266.9193 | [physically it's changed], but do you- Like, what changes do you see? | 1270.0609 |
976 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1270.1868 | The changes I see- I never seen a white person | 1273.1571 |
978 | | 1273.7959 | walking in Southeast. I never seen that before. I never thought I would see that in my life. | 1277.7536 |
980 | | 1278.4623 | And I'm walking around my old neighborhood, and I see a white person walking, | 1281.6844 |
982 | | 1281.9537 | with- with their dog, and I said, what is this? I said, that is crazy. | 1285.4275 |
984 | | 1285.9824 | Not necessarily saying it's a bad thing, but I just never thought I would see that | 1288.6904 |
986 | | 1289.6836 | in my life. | 1290.2991 |
988 | | 1291.1151 | So I'm- One, I'm wondering why do they feel that comfortable to live here? | 1295.1427 |
990 | | 1295.8608 | Cause I- me personally, I- I don't even wanna live there. | 1297.9405 |
991 | DCB_int_01 | 1298.7751 | Mm. | 1299.0502 |
992 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1299.1470 | So I don't know /how to-/ | 1299.9677 |
994 | | 1300.1402 | But I- I just think it's crazy. | 1301.5064 |
996 | | 1301.8561 | And uh, i- t- even in Northwest, | 1304.0850 |
998 | | 1304.4767 | like, it's- t- to see all those white people there, it's just crazy to me. | 1307.8142 |
999 | DCB_int_01 | 1308.2385 | Even in Northwest? | 1309.1711 |
1000 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1309.0871 | Because growing up, you never seen white people in DC. | 1311.5678 |
1001 | | 1313.1707 | Never. | 1313.6090 |
1003 | | 1315.2317 | And I- I- I wasn't familiar with the Georgetowns or the- | 1318.3687 |
1005 | | 1318.6111 | the George Washington- I weren't familiar with those areas, | 1320.7188 |
1007 | | 1321.2130 | so I would just be on | 1322.1410 |
1009 | | 1322.8019 | Georgia Avenue, Fourteenth Street, U Street, | 1324.9282 |
1011 | | 1325.7069 | uh, | 1326.0054 |
1013 | | 1326.2292 | those areas on down. | 1327.4238 |
1014 | DCB_int_01 | 1327.8239 | Mm-hm. | 1328.1783 |
1015 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1328.4114 | So I n- I- I- To see white people in DC is crazy to me. | 1331.0868 |
1016 | DCB_int_01 | 1332.0800 | How was U Street changed? | 1333.5628 |
1017 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1333.5394 | U Street has changed dramatically. | 1335.4046 |
1018 | | 1336.1682 | <laugh> | 1336.7697 |
1020 | | 1337.2733 | [Dramatically.] | 1338.0333 |
1021 | DCB_int_01 | 1337.2733 | [Tell me from your] perspective. | 1338.7468 |
1022 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1338.6861 | Okay. | 1339.1897 |
1023 | | 1339.3716 | So, | 1339.8379 |
1025 | | 1341.4408 | back in- I wanna say the nineties | 1343.7069 |
1027 | | 1344.1872 | because I would /gro/ to my grandmother's house all the time. | 1347.1482 |
1029 | | 1347.8884 | All you would see was crackheads, heroine addicts, | 1351.1571 |
1031 | | 1351.8099 | and | 1352.1596 |
1033 | | 1352.7565 | dr- | 1352.8824 |
1035 | | 1353.1528 | drunks | 1353.7438 |
1037 | | 1354.1495 | just walking around. | 1355.0728 |
1039 | | 1355.6277 | Uh, | 1356.2525 |
1041 | | 1356.9519 | that's U Street, | 1358.0710 |
1043 | | 1358.1596 | uh, Georgia Avenue, | 1359.4839 |
1045 | | 1359.7812 | and Randolph Street, where my mother used to live. | 1361.4738 |
1047 | | 1361.7769 | Beside- My mother, my grandmother- Beside my grandmother house was a actual crackhouse. | 1365.3160 |
1049 | | 1366.1169 | People would go there just to smoke crack. | 1367.8422 |
1051 | | 1369.2737 | How do I know it as a child? Because that's all the adults would talk about. | 1372.3081 |
1053 | | 1373.5158 | [So], | 1374.2618 |
1054 | DCB_int_01 | 1373.6416 | [Mm.] | 1374.2618 |
1055 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1374.7374 | that's- that's my memory from uh, | 1376.6399 |
1057 | | 1377.2449 | from Northwest. | 1378.0563 |
1058 | DCB_int_01 | 1378.7417 | And so how do you see it now? | 1380.3178 |
1060 | | 1380.4343 | Like what do you see when you think about- | 1382.3228 |
1062 | | 1382.4720 | when you think about where it was when you were a [child, but now] you go over to those parts. | 1386.8027 |
1063 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1384.9609 | [Yeah.] | 1385.3525 |
1064 | | 1386.8354 | I'm still in- I'm still in shock. | 1388.2062 |
1066 | | 1388.6259 | I'm still shocked. E- Even when I- Cause I don't travel to the Northwest that often, | 1391.7955 |
1067 | DCB_int_01 | 1391.7909 | Mm. | 1392.0473 |
1068 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1392.0846 | Even when I go in those areas, I'm still like, | 1394.0617 |
1070 | | 1394.4487 | look at all these buildings and look at all these people. Like, to me it's like a mini New York. Like, it's just so many people. | 1399.7959 |
1072 | | 1400.7192 | It's- it's like a shock like, it's just crazy to me. | 1403.1054 |
1074 | | 1403.5531 | And sometimes I aks the adults, I say, how do y'all- | 1405.5488 |
1076 | | 1406.0897 | how do y'all feel about | 1407.2263 |
1078 | | 1407.4408 | how it looks now from when y'all was younger? | 1409.6463 |
1080 | | 1409.8515 | And it's- They don't- No- I don't think nobody's a- Other- No one- No one's amazed other than me. | 1413.6284 |
1082 | | 1413.9257 | So I don't understand it. | 1414.7324 |
1084 | | 1414.8303 | But they just like- | 1415.4505 |
1086 | | 1416.1219 | They ju- I think everybody else is still- still can't believe that they built all these buildings and- | 1419.9537 |
1088 | | 1420.8443 | and how nice it look, and the white people walking around like it's nothing. | 1424.0430 |
1089 | DCB_int_01 | 1425.0502 | [Do you] believe gentrification is real? | 1426.8723 |
1090 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1425.1108 | [But-] | 1425.2834 |
1091 | | 1427.7256 | I believe it's real, and I think it's- I think it's good. Me personally, I think it's a good thing. | 1431.0502 |
1093 | | 1431.6692 | Because the way | 1432.5505 |
1095 | | 1433.1334 | DC was is not like how it was. | 1435.1991 |
1097 | | 1436.8031 | So, | 1437.2974 |
1099 | | 1437.7252 | I think- I think progress is always good. | 1440.0427 |
1101 | | 1440.6535 | I just wish they would cross the bridge and start gentrification over there. | 1443.5911 |
1102 | DCB_int_01 | 1444.5738 | Mm, wards seven and eight. | 1445.5484 |
1103 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1446.0147 | Mm-hm. | 1446.4483 |
1104 | DCB_int_01 | 1448.0151 | It's coming. | 1448.5886 |
1105 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1449.0024 | I [see.] | 1449.4081 |
1106 | DCB_int_01 | 1449.1190 | [The fact] that you can see | 1450.3873 |
1107 | | 1451.5018 | her walking in t- ward- | 1452.8727 |
1109 | | 1453.0265 | in | 1453.4602 |
1111 | | 1453.9078 | [Southeast.] | 1454.8451 |
1112 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1454.5000 | [Yeah.] | 1454.8451 |
1113 | | 1455.4174 | But that was one person though. | 1456.5925 |
1115 | | 1457.3339 | In Northwest, you see white people everywhere. | 1459.2410 |
1117 | | 1459.8659 | An- and in Northeast. | 1460.7938 |
1118 | DCB_int_01 | 1463.1474 | I think it's coming. | 1463.9494 |
1119 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1464.4343 | I mean I'm- I- I can't wait til it comes. | 1466.1829 |
1121 | | 1466.3694 | I think it'll be nice. | 1467.1610 |
1122 | DCB_int_01 | 1467.8558 | Would you consider moving [back to the c-] Okay. | 1469.8095 |
1123 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1468.6438 | [No, I won't.] | 1469.2220 |
1125 | | 1469.6976 | [<laugh>] | 1470.5136 |
1126 | DCB_int_01 | 1470.1639 | [<laugh>] | 1471.1571 |
1127 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1470.9706 | [Nah], I don't wanna live in [DC.] | 1472.0244 |
1128 | DCB_int_01 | 1471.7213 | [You're like], No, I'm good. [Okay.] So how did you- okay, let's go back to college then. | 1475.5904 |
1129 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1472.9791 | [Nah.] | 1473.3102 |
1130 | DCB_int_01 | 1475.8235 | Um, how did you | 1477.1804 |
1132 | | 1478.0524 | get to /RD-SCHOOL-2/? | 1478.8917 |
1133 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1479.3568 | Okay. I got to /RD-SCHOOL-2/- One of my teachers at /RD-SCHOOL-3/ was affiliated or a alumni. | 1485.4746 |
1135 | | 1486.3640 | Did I say it right? | 1486.8303 |
1136 | DCB_int_01 | 1486.9609 | [Mm-hm.] | 1487.3805 |
1137 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1487.1987 | [<laugh>] | 1487.8655 |
1138 | | 1488.1965 | Alumni of /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 1489.4322 |
1140 | | 1490.2016 | So um, | 1491.3067 |
1142 | | 1491.6926 | <ts> | 1491.7905 |
1144 | | 1492.3500 | when I took my- I- I always got good grades. I uh- I had a | 1495.4275 |
1146 | | 1495.6047 | three point | 1496.1969 |
1148 | | 1496.3368 | three GPA, which I was in the top ten in my class. | 1498.9702 |
1150 | | 1499.7116 | I don't- I- I never test well. | 1501.2457 |
1152 | | 1501.9638 | So I got | 1502.4720 |
1154 | | 1503.1202 | way below average scores on my SATs. [So], every school that I applied to I didn't get in. | 1507.7539 |
1155 | DCB_int_01 | 1505.3432 | [Mm.] | 1505.6836 |
1156 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1508.3648 | So I got accepted to Kentucky Un- No, | 1510.3314 |
1158 | | 1511.0261 | K- No. | 1511.6137 |
1160 | | 1512.2432 | Is it Ken- Yeah, Kentucky University. | 1513.7120 |
1162 | | 1514.8497 | And I was gonna go there, but he said that uh, | 1517.3059 |
1164 | | 1517.4878 | he can get me in the summer program at /RD-SCHOOL-4/ | 1519.8938 |
1166 | | 1520.5746 | to take uh, ten credits | 1522.1635 |
1168 | | 1522.4479 | um, in the- during the summer time. So I said, that's cool. | 1524.6395 |
1170 | | 1525.1944 | So I was gonna d- take those ten credits and then go to Kentucky, | 1527.9454 |
1172 | | 1528.8023 | but when I got there, I loved it. | 1530.4437 |
1174 | | 1531.1105 | I loved the people that I was with, so I decided to stay. | 1533.6424 |
1176 | | 1534.4899 | Now, | 1534.8769 |
1178 | | 1537.2364 | when I got there- | 1538.3135 |
1180 | | 1538.4953 | I'm- I'm not | 1539.3393 |
1182 | | 1540.0469 | the- | 1540.6904 |
1184 | | 1541.3152 | I'm not a person who wants to be hood or who wants to be | 1544.6679 |
1186 | | 1545.3020 | representing | 1545.9309 |
1188 | | 1546.1309 | the hood or nothing like that. When I got to college, I wanted to be in college. | 1549.2130 |
1190 | | 1549.8519 | So when I got to /RD-SCHOOL-2/, | 1550.9476 |
1192 | | 1551.4314 | it was a culture shock for me. | 1552.6018 |
1194 | | 1554.2338 | All I know is DC. | 1555.2690 |
1195 | DCB_int_01 | 1556.0197 | Mm. | 1556.1876 |
1196 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1556.2902 | All I knew was DC at the time. | 1557.4372 |
1198 | | 1557.9583 | So when I got to /RD-SCHOOL-2/, I met people from | 1559.7909 |
1200 | | 1560.0566 | Philly, New Jersey, New York, | 1562.0477 |
1202 | | 1562.5187 | and Baltimore. | 1563.3160 |
1204 | | 1565.0774 | So, t- th- these people, they talk different. They don't dress like we dress. They don't | 1569.8744 |
1206 | | 1570.0936 | talk like- I mean they don't- | 1571.4505 |
1208 | | 1571.7536 | They don't have the same mindset that we have. | 1573.4415 |
1210 | | 1573.8052 | And a lot of- a lot of the people there, | 1575.9444 |
1212 | | 1576.0982 | majority of the people there- | 1577.1147 |
1214 | | 1577.9401 | Their focus was on where they- where they was from. | 1580.2435 |
1216 | | 1581.5247 | So, I'm from New York, I'm better than you. I'm from Philly, I'm better than you. | 1585.0405 |
1218 | | 1585.3809 | You- you don't go harder than me. | 1586.7425 |
1220 | | 1587.4035 | I didn't like that | 1588.1355 |
1222 | | 1588.5599 | cause I'm like, okay. I already left DC where that- that is going on. I don't wanna deal with this anymore. | 1592.8451 |
1224 | | 1593.5014 | So the teachers | 1594.9562 |
1226 | | 1595.1008 | was excellent though. | 1596.1219 |
1228 | | 1596.5276 | The teachers, everybody there was good. The staff, everybody was good. | 1599.9257 |
1230 | | 1600.4106 | I just couldn't take the student body. | 1601.7302 |
1232 | | 1602.9706 | So my first year there, I was miserable. | 1604.7705 |
1234 | | 1607.0961 | So I decided to go to /RD-SCHOOL-2/ because I wanted to experience something different. | 1610.6259 |
1236 | | 1611.8278 | I wanted to know what it was like to go to school around white people and be around white people, and I wanted- | 1615.4415 |
1238 | | 1615.6933 | And it was in the mountains, so I wanted somewhere where I could study and h- it didn't have any distractions. | 1619.9074 |
1239 | DCB_int_01 | 1621.5581 | And how did you get to- Like how did you ch- | 1624.0283 |
1241 | | 1624.1682 | from /RD-SCHOOL-2/ to /RD-SCHOOL-2/, like what made you say, oh, I'm gonna go to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 1627.9702 |
1242 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1627.9358 | <ts> | 1628.0430 |
1243 | | 1628.7098 | I'm not sure to be truthfully honest with you. I don't know where that connection came from, but I know that me and my friends went on a visit there. | 1634.8357 |
1244 | DCB_int_01 | 1635.2321 | Mm. | 1635.4233 |
1245 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1635.7998 | My friends from uh, college. No, f- my friends from high school. | 1638.5043 |
1247 | | 1639.2643 | And I liked it. | 1640.1596 |
1249 | | 1640.3275 | I really liked it. I really liked | 1641.6550 |
1251 | | 1641.8993 | the atmosphere. I liked the- the people. I liked the buildings. | 1645.1431 |
1253 | | 1645.7120 | Cause /RD-SCHOOL-2/ was, you know, /RD-SCHOOL-2/ was started in eighteen fifty or something like that. I forgot when they started, but it was a hundred and fifty years old, so they had old buildings. | 1652.4067 |
1254 | DCB_int_01 | 1652.6352 | Mm. | 1652.9243 |
1255 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1653.1668 | Not that that matters anyway, but I just liked the buildings at /RD-SCHOOL-2/ cause they were so new. | 1656.7841 |
1257 | | 1657.6887 | So I said, okay, I wanna go here. So I applied, and I got accepted, and then I went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 1661.1800 |
1258 | DCB_int_01 | 1661.7349 | After your first year at [/RD-SCHOOL-2/.] | 1662.9855 |
1259 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1662.8727 | [Yeah.] | 1663.1431 |
1260 | DCB_int_01 | 1663.1664 | So you finished your freshman year [out], | 1664.5886 |
1261 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1664.3881 | [Yeah.] | 1664.6352 |
1262 | DCB_int_01 | 1664.7238 | and then you started there? | 1665.8276 |
1263 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1665.8278 | Yeah. | 1666.0656 |
1264 | DCB_int_01 | 1666.1076 | So tell me how was that experience? When you moved from- | 1669.1851 |
1266 | | 1669.4555 | <clears throat> | 1669.8052 |
1268 | | 1670.3042 | Was it another culture shock? | 1671.4734 |
1269 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1672.8256 | I wouldn't say a shock. I would say it was- Because they- | 1675.8659 |
1271 | | 1676.1503 | at /RD-SCHOOL-2/, | 1677.0036 |
1273 | | 1677.7065 | it was- I'm not gonna say segregated, but you had your black people who hung together, | 1681.3110 |
1275 | | 1681.8285 | and the white people who hung together. | 1683.3440 |
1277 | | 1684.0423 | So you had- they had black parties and- I wouldn't necessarily say they had white parties, but they had black parties. | 1688.5746 |
1279 | | 1689.5154 | And the black | 1690.2288 |
1281 | | 1690.4153 | people would hang together. | 1691.2546 |
1283 | | 1691.5018 | So, | 1691.8515 |
1285 | | 1692.3364 | it w- you would rarely see | 1693.8845 |
1287 | | 1694.0990 | black and white people | 1695.2181 |
1289 | | 1696.0423 | hanging together, but | 1697.0634 |
1291 | | 1697.9401 | the reason why I would talk to white people- I was- Because of my major. | 1701.3712 |
1293 | | 1701.6553 | I m- I majored in Mechanical Engineering. | 1703.3059 |
1295 | | 1703.8282 | So those though- Those are the people I would see in my classes. So that's how I w- I was able to introduce, to have conversations with them, and to | 1709.6370 |
1297 | | 1710.1219 | go to parties that they would go to and stuff like that, so | 1712.5886 |
1299 | | 1713.1202 | my experience at /RD-SCHOOL-2/ was good. I liked it. | 1715.7862 |
1300 | DCB_int_01 | 1716.3131 | What social activities did you do? | 1717.7819 |
1301 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1718.3275 | Um, | 1718.8684 |
1303 | | 1720.2894 | as far as [spo-] | 1721.4411 |
1304 | DCB_int_01 | 1721.0634 | [Like outside] of the classroom. | 1722.3457 |
1305 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1722.5369 | Uh, I'm- | 1723.1338 |
1307 | | 1723.2270 | I'm a sports fanatic. I played basketball all the time. I would go to the gym. | 1726.4526 |
1309 | | 1727.1800 | Um, | 1727.8328 |
1311 | | 1728.0054 | I wasn't a party person, but I did go to some of the parties. | 1730.8917 |
1313 | | 1731.6319 | I didn't drink until I got out of college. | 1733.5904 |
1314 | DCB_int_01 | 1734.0660 | Mm. | 1734.4390 |
1315 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1734.4437 | <laugh> | 1734.9146 |
1317 | | 1735.6933 | So, | 1736.1783 |
1319 | | 1736.2995 | but um, | 1736.9780 |
1321 | | 1737.1656 | I- That's about it. Uh, I was- Of course, I'm into the females, so I would go | 1740.9752 |
1323 | | 1741.2130 | to the female's dorm rooms and stuff like that, so. | 1743.4326 |
1324 | DCB_int_01 | 1744.0283 | Did you um, pledge? | 1745.3292 |
1325 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1745.7442 | No, I did not pledge. | 1746.7328 |
1326 | DCB_int_01 | 1747.1571 | Did y'all have- I don't- I don't /RD-SCHOOL-2/. [Did they have fraternities] and was it- was Greek life [big?] | 1751.8343 |
1327 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1748.9139 | [Yeah, they have it. Yeah.] | 1749.9117 |
1329 | | 1751.4272 | [Yeah.] | 1751.7769 |
1330 | | 1751.9820 | Not- no, it wasn't big. | 1753.1571 |

1334 | | 1755.7485 | At /RD-SCHOOL-2/ it was extremely big. | 1757.9401 |
1335 | DCB_int_01 | 1758.0067 | [Right. I mean] | 1759.1851 |
1336 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1758.0520 | [<laugh>] | 1758.7374 |

1339 | | 1765.1384 | I wouldn't- | 1765.8379 |
1341 | | 1766.5140 | I thought about it, but no, I was never interested in joining Greek. | 1769.5027 |

1363 | | 1789.4602 | so | 1790.0990 |
1365 | | 1790.3834 | when you say that people | 1791.6180 |
1367 | | 1791.9444 | dress different, they talk different, they had a different mindset. | 1794.9799 |
1368 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1795.3576 | Okay. | 1795.7213 |
1370 | | 1795.8379 | When I went to- it was two thousand six when I went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 1798.8210 |
1372 | | 1799.5297 | And I would wear th- I had on my New Balance cause that's you know that's- I don't know if you know but that's all we do now- That's all we wear. | 1804.6485 |

1376 | | 1806.7001 | the dude said- | 1807.5907 |
1378 | | 1807.6980 | he said, What are those? I said, Uh, these are New Balance. These are nine nine- I think at the time it was nine nine o- | 1811.2033 |
1380 | | 1811.3479 | nine- nine nine ones at the time. | 1813.6467 |
1382 | | 1814.5979 | And, I said, These nine nine ones. | 1816.0936 |
1384 | | 1816.2987 | And he said, You got on old people shoes? | 1817.8468 |
1386 | | 1818.1406 | And I said, No. I said, These are- I said, These are nine nine ones. I said, Do you know how much these cost? | 1821.5445 |
1388 | | 1822.1402 | And they couldn't believe they was over a hundred dollars. They thought I payed like fifty or som- fifty dollars or something for 'em. | 1826.3140 |
1390 | | 1827.0223 | And he was like, Oh, okay. | 1828.0050 |
1392 | | 1828.2195 | So | 1828.5832 |
1394 | | 1828.7324 | the next- When we got to school in the- in the fall, I started seeing people wearing New- New Balances. | 1833.7532 |
1396 | | 1834.3407 | [<laugh>] | 1835.1241 |
1397 | DCB_int_01 | 1834.7557 | [<laugh>] | 1835.8701 |
1398 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1836.1079 | This is crazy. But yeah, they- At the time, they didn't like New Balance. They thought Nike boots was wack. | 1840.5878 |
1400 | | 1841.1987 | They didn't- They didn't- U- My clothes actually fit. | 1843.4136 |
1402 | | 1843.7679 | At the time, they were still wearing baggy clothes, or they didn't like that my clothes fit, so. | 1847.1241 |
1404 | | 1847.8375 | Uh, I would say certain things, like um, | 1850.0897 |
1406 | | 1851.7998 | like carry out. | 1852.6298 |
1408 | | 1852.9749 | I would say, Let's go to the carry out. They said, What's that? | 1854.7654 |
1410 | | 1855.4835 | They- I said, The carry out. They say, Uh, Chinese food. They said, You mean the Chinese- | 1859.1614 |
1412 | | 1859.3479 | Chinese f- | 1859.8375 |
1414 | | 1859.9867 | uh- | 1860.3831 |
1416 | | 1861.1011 | Chinese place? I said, No, it's called a carry out. | 1862.6819 |
1418 | | 1863.6366 | So yeah, stuff like that. | 1865.0075 |
1420 | | 1865.4178 | Um, | 1866.0193 |
1422 | | 1867.5068 | what was different for me for them? | 1869.3580 |
1424 | | 1869.8231 | Like the way Philly people talk. Like I thought it was funny. | 1872.4204 |
1426 | | 1872.9612 | They say back or they say uh- | 1875.0316 |
1428 | | 1875.5527 | they say jawn. | 1876.4386 |
1429 | DCB_int_01 | 1878.6115 | And do you have a word for that too? | 1879.9032 |
1430 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1880.0664 | Joint. | 1880.5187 |
1432 | | 1880.9698 | They say jawn. We say joint. | 1882.1868 |
1433 | DCB_int_01 | 1882.4526 | Mm. | 1882.8490 |
1434 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1882.9329 | Yeah. | 1883.3199 |
1435 | DCB_int_01 | 1884.3551 | What- | 1884.8120 |
1437 | | 1885.4462 | When you say they think differently, what do you mean? | 1887.6180 |
1438 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1888.4759 | [<sigh> I wish I] could give you an example. I got- I will have to think about that one. But their mentality from us is extremely different. | 1894.8536 |
1439 | DCB_int_01 | 1888.4759 | [/Like can you give me an exam-/] | 1889.7489 |
1440 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1897.3809 | I know New York | 1898.0057 |
1442 | | 1898.0990 | f- New York didn't e- What I f- uh, thought about the New York people, they a little bit more fast pace. Like they- | 1902.9473 |
1444 | | 1904.0897 | they're- | 1904.6958 |
1446 | | 1905.1610 | they can talk a good game. Like, they're- they're- they are real hustlers. Like, | 1908.4483 |
1447 | DCB_int_01 | 1908.5089 | <laugh> | 1909.3809 |
1448 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1909.3949 | uh, Ph- | 1910.1923 |
1450 | | 1910.6119 | Ph- What I thought from Philly people, they- | 1912.1962 |
1452 | | 1914.1406 | i- | 1914.3691 |
1454 | | 1915.6514 | if you wasn't hard, or if you didn't act street like, you wasn't accepted. | 1919.0728 |
1456 | | 1920.3877 | Um, | 1921.0312 |
1458 | | 1921.3203 | the way they dress was a lot different. | 1922.9103 |
1460 | | 1923.1470 | They wear a lot of uh, | 1924.2754 |
1462 | | 1924.7510 | Dickies, | 1925.3619 |
1464 | | 1925.9774 | like Dickie pants and stuff like that (laughing). | 1927.8752 |
1466 | | 1929.1015 | Um, | 1929.7590 |
1468 | | 1930.1775 | New Jersey people, they was cool. | 1931.7629 |
1470 | | 1932.3271 | They- they kind of- They kind of remind me of the Philly people I guess cause t- | 1935.6040 |
1472 | | 1935.8558 | /probably- t-/ | 1936.4246 |
1474 | | 1936.5226 | probably- they probably was close. | 1937.6883 |
1476 | | 1938.6861 | Uh, Baltimore people- | 1939.7586 |
1478 | | 1939.9405 | I don't know if you know, but DC and Baltimore people don't get along that well. | 1943.3665 |
1480 | | 1943.5764 | I don't- | 1943.9028 |
1482 | | 1944.7328 | I don't know where it came from- I don't know why, but I- I just don't personally like people from Baltimore. | 1949.4691 |
1483 | DCB_int_01 | 1949.5297 | Can you tell me like, what it's about? I- | 1952.1130 |
1484 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1952.1270 | I have no idea- It just- it just g- I guess, if you grew up in the area, you just- | 1956.0566 |
1486 | | 1956.3737 | you just grew up like that. We always- | 1958.0477 |
1488 | | 1958.4674 | When I grew up, | 1959.1202 |
1490 | | 1959.2729 | when we think of Baltimore people, we say bamas, Baltimore bamas. That's all we- | 1962.4950 |
1492 | | 1963.2364 | I don't know why. | 1963.9544 |
1494 | | 1964.2948 | I just know we don't like Baltimore for some reason. | 1966.7277 |
1496 | | 1967.6696 | [I have no i-] | 1968.1825 |
1497 | DCB_int_01 | 1967.7396 | [And they don't] like DC [people?] | 1969.1711 |
1498 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1968.8260 | [No.] Like, you would never see a p- somebody from Baltimore in DC, | 1971.8371 |
1499 | | 1972.2101 | and you never see somebody from DC in Baltimore. | 1974.3734 |
1501 | | 1974.5649 | It just doesn't go. | 1975.3623 |
1503 | | 1976.0570 | Like I've been to Baltimore probably three times in my life. | 1978.2568 |
1504 | DCB_int_01 | 1980.4250 | You're not the first person I heard say that, and I- | 1982.3694 |
1506 | | 1982.6073 | but nobody really [knows what the beef is about, right?] Like we can say, you know, we know there's like, | 1987.5427 |
1507 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1983.4967 | [Know why. <laugh> Yeah.] | 1985.2220 |
1508 | DCB_int_01 | 1988.1037 | Woodland Terrace, | 1989.2041 |
1510 | | 1989.4408 | Parkland, like, | 1990.7417 |
1512 | | 1991.1334 | Berry Farms. We know they got beef. That's just neighborhood turf [beef.] | 1994.1943 |
1513 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 1993.8565 | [Yeah.] | 1994.1783 |
1514 | DCB_int_01 | 1994.7145 | But | 1994.9989 |
1516 | | 1995.6180 | DC and Baltimore are like, | 1996.7930 |
1518 | | 1997.0168 | forty five minutes to an hour apart. | 1998.7048 |
1520 | | 1999.0592 | I don't know why they got beef. | 2000.0524 |
1521 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2000.3415 | I have no idea where it comes from. | 2001.8418 |
1522 | DCB_int_01 | 2003.2127 | Yeah, I don't either. | 2004.1639 |
1524 | | 2004.5463 | If you ever find out, [let me know.] | 2006.0244 |
1525 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2005.4369 | [<laugh> No], if you ever find out, let me [know. <laugh>] | 2008.3034 |
1526 | DCB_int_01 | 2006.8264 | [Let you know? <laugh>] | 2008.3081 |
1527 | | 2008.6718 | Um, | 2009.2080 |
1529 | | 2010.3504 | so thinking about | 2011.4648 |
1531 | | 2012.8124 | kind of this- You talk about if you go to Baltimore - It's forty five minutes. You've been there three times. | 2016.2525 |
1533 | | 2016.7421 | Think about DC. | 2017.6141 |
1535 | | 2017.8285 | DC is the nation's capital. So tourist-y place. | 2021.1101 |
1537 | | 2021.6323 | Have you ever been a tourist in your town? | 2023.6467 |
1538 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2024.0990 | I haven't, when I got older- Uh, | 2025.7578 |
1540 | | 2026.0563 | I- I told my friend when I was in school in /RD-SCHOOL-2/, I said, I've never seen the White House before. | 2029.7539 |
1542 | | 2030.6865 | I n- d- I never seen the White- I- I didn't see the White House until I would say, I was twenty two years old. | 2035.4835 |
1544 | | 2036.7553 | I n- I didn- I didn't know where it was at. | 2038.4200 |
1546 | | 2038.6811 | <laugh> I didn't know how to find it. | 2039.9914 |
1548 | | 2040.9100 | So, that's- that lets you know how much- | 2042.8497 |
1550 | | 2043.9817 | I don't- it's- it's not that we can't go to this, but | 2046.3737 |
1552 | | 2046.5089 | for some reason our mentality is | 2048.1783 |
1554 | | 2048.5979 | just in this one area. | 2049.7497 |
1556 | | 2049.9956 | Like it was rare- | 2050.6997 |
1558 | | 2050.9236 | Only reason why I crossed that bridge is to go to my grandmother's house. | 2053.8332 |
1560 | | 2054.3368 | Other than that, I will always be in Southeast. | 2056.0329 |
1561 | DCB_int_01 | 2057.8328 | Have you done any of the other stuff? Like the monuments, | 2061.0223 |
1562 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2061.6040 | Not [until I got older], no. | 2063.0728 |
1563 | DCB_int_01 | 2061.9490 | [the capitol-] | 2062.9422 |
1564 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2063.1754 | Oh yeah! Oh yeah, we would take school trips there. | 2065.0219 |
1566 | | 2065.1524 | Yeah. | 2065.3669 |
1567 | DCB_int_01 | 2065.7353 | [/Well, yeah/] | 2066.0710 |
1568 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2065.7400 | [We would], yeah, as a uh- in elementary school. | 2067.6657 |
1569 | DCB_int_01 | 2068.2474 | But what made you as an adult say, You know what? I need to go [be a tourist.] | 2071.5628 |
1570 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2070.7374 | [I mean I just got older.] I just- I- I'm a- I'm a fan of history, so I wanted to | 2075.2360 |
1571 | | 2076.0147 | explore these museums and these monuments and | 2078.4534 |
1573 | | 2078.7098 | so I just got older, and I just wanted to see the stuff. | 2081.0075 |
1574 | DCB_int_01 | 2081.0634 | Do you have a favorite one? | 2081.8701 |
1575 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2083.3949 | <sigh> Well of course it would have to be Martin Luther King. | 2085.5119 |
1577 | | 2086.9469 | <laugh> | 2087.5251 |
1579 | | 2087.9541 | I love Martin Luther King, but uh, other than that um, | 2090.3741 |
1581 | | 2090.8311 | I'm a big- I'm a big uh, Lincoln fan. | 2092.6065 |
1582 | DCB_int_01 | 2093.3185 | Mm. | 2093.7062 |
1583 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2093.8251 | Big Abraham Lincoln fan. I s- I studied Abraham Lincoln, so it's- it's nothing you can aks me that I wouldn't be an answer. | 2099.2480 |
1584 | DCB_int_01 | 2100.2122 | Actually I [wouldn't be able to ask you much cause I'm] not very knowledgable. | 2103.0231 |
1585 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2100.5294 | [<laugh> | 2101.7630 |
1586 | | 2103.0495 | Yeah, I s- I study history. Like, I- I love history. | 2105.5960 |
1587 | DCB_int_01 | 2106.1461 | So how'd you g- become- How did you get into mechanical engineering? | 2109.3094 |
1588 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2109.4592 | Okay. | 2109.7676 |
1590 | | 2110.0496 | That's a good question. | 2110.9836 |
1592 | | 2111.2700 | When I was thirteen years old, I would watch the | 2113.7190 |
1594 | | 2114.3314 | History Channel, Discovery Channel all the time. | 2116.1201 |
1595 | DCB_int_01 | 2116.1289 | Mm-hm. | 2116.5166 |
1596 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2116.6576 | And they had this show called uh- | 2118.3758 |
1598 | | 2118.8863 | I forgot. Majoring in Engineering or something? | 2120.9394 |
1600 | | 2121.3623 | And they would always show how | 2122.7589 |
1602 | | 2122.8691 | these people build these big tall buildings and stuff like that. | 2125.6220 |
1604 | | 2125.9877 | So initially I wanted to become a civil engineer, | 2128.0628 |
1605 | DCB_int_01 | 2128.3360 | Mm-hm. | 2128.6796 |
1606 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2128.9748 | and then, as I got older, I got | 2130.4325 |
1608 | | 2130.5603 | um, | 2131.1330 |
1610 | | 2131.6132 | introduced to cars, and I started to become a cars fan. | 2133.9042 |
1612 | | 2134.3580 | So I wanted to design engines. | 2135.7899 |
1614 | | 2136.2386 | So that's when- that's where mechanical engineering came from. | 2138.3886 |
1615 | DCB_int_01 | 2139.6134 | And now you don't do any of that. | 2141.1321 |
1616 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2141.2480 | <ts> | 2141.4639 |
1618 | | 2141.7194 | Well, | 2142.2921 |
1620 | | 2143.9084 | When I was in /RD-SCHOOL-2/- | 2145.1663 |
1622 | | 2145.6002 | Actually when I started uh, | 2147.4242 |
1624 | | 2147.8824 | /RD-SCHOOL-2/, | 2148.4155 |
1626 | | 2148.6748 | I had to take- My- my major was /calcul-/ physics because they didn't have mechanical engineering there. | 2152.9131 |
1628 | | 2153.6225 | So, I started to get into | 2155.6881 |
1630 | | 2156.6838 | calculus. | 2157.5782 |
1632 | | 2158.3933 | Um, | 2159.1202 |
1634 | | 2159.6489 | I had chemistry before, but I- my d- instructor wasn't good. | 2162.5296 |
1636 | | 2162.9173 | Ph- uh, physics, | 2164.2258 |
1638 | | 2165.0894 | and uh, all these /sinuses/- all these sciences and math. | 2167.7851 |
1640 | | 2167.9613 | I was always good at math in high school. | 2169.5033 |
1642 | | 2169.7676 | [That's why] I didn't have issues with taking it. | 2171.2436 |
1643 | DCB_int_01 | 2169.7897 | [Mm.] | 2170.0628 |
1644 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2171.6747 | But when I got to | 2172.5559 |
1646 | | 2172.7629 | calculus, it- | 2173.2387 |
1648 | | 2173.4590 | my school didn't offer calculus. The highest math we had was algebra two. | 2176.8735 |
1650 | | 2178.2166 | So when I got to- | 2178.9656 |
1652 | | 2179.1506 | to school, | 2179.8732 |
1654 | | 2180.0802 | I wasn't passing these classes or getting these good grades cause I- I didn't- I never seen it before. I didn't understand it. | 2184.8687 |
1655 | DCB_int_01 | 2184.9832 | Mm. | 2185.2740 |
1656 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2185.5780 | I was never taught it. | 2186.3358 |
1658 | | 2187.4592 | So when I got to /RD-SCHOOL-2/, I had to ta- I took um, | 2190.5559 |
1660 | | 2192.0714 | Calculus three times, | 2193.1464 |
1662 | | 2194.4858 | <ts> | 2194.6664 |
1664 | | 2195.0541 | I barely passed Physics, | 2196.5647 |
1666 | | 2197.9569 | and I was in Physics Two, and I didn't too well in that class wither. | 2201.2436 |
1668 | | 2201.9875 | So uh, they- | 2202.6087 |
1670 | | 2202.9171 | uh, /RD-SCHOOL-2/ put me on academic probation. | 2204.8468 |
1672 | | 2205.4636 | And then the next semester, I didn't get the grades that I was supposed to get. | 2207.9529 |
1674 | | 2208.6396 | So they didn't um- | 2209.7542 |
1676 | | 2210.6882 | they didn't approve my financial aid. | 2212.2435 |
1678 | | 2213.1026 | So I had to drop out. | 2213.8427 |
1680 | | 2214.5250 | So when I dropped out, I came home and worked. | 2216.2036 |
1682 | | 2216.7984 | And I never went back to school to finish. | 2218.2963 |
1684 | | 2219.2744 | So that's why I'm not in those fields. | 2221.0317 |
1685 | DCB_int_01 | 2221.7322 | Gotcha. | 2222.2741 |
1686 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2222.8601 | But I am- I do wanna | 2224.2214 |
1688 | | 2224.5563 | go back and finish and | 2226.4016 |
1690 | | 2226.7629 | potentially get into those fields. | 2228.1904 |
1691 | DCB_int_01 | 2228.9350 | So what do you think you- What- | 2230.0937 |
1693 | | 2230.3007 | If you had to say, that's my dream job, what would that be? | 2232.7629 |
1694 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2232.7541 | To be engineer, | 2233.4899 |
1695 | | 2234.0318 | a mechanical engineer. | 2235.0143 |
1696 | DCB_int_01 | 2236.6884 | Do you have a specific kind of car that you would [really] like to- | 2239.9040 |
1697 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2239.0185 | [<ts>] | 2239.1594 |
1698 | | 2239.9260 | I don't necessarily have a car, but I always wanted to design engines, like any engine. [Like, it c- it could be a plane engine], boat engine. | 2246.9922 |
1699 | DCB_int_01 | 2244.6263 | [Any kind of engine. Ah, gotcha.] | 2245.9745 |
1700 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2248.3095 | So it doesn't matter. | 2249.1819 |
1701 | DCB_int_01 | 2250.1241 | Wow. | 2250.7189 |
1703 | | 2251.0405 | And that's a big, like- | 2252.4679 |
1705 | | 2252.8160 | STEM in general | 2253.8161 |
1706 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2253.8293 | [Yeah.] | 2254.1333 |
1707 | DCB_int_01 | 2253.9967 | [is] just like a big deal. It's the- the buzz word these days, [so.] | 2257.9216 |
1708 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2257.3313 | [Yeah.] | 2257.6132 |
1709 | DCB_int_01 | 2258.7147 | Alright. | 2259.1464 |
1711 | | 2259.5826 | I'll be looking out for your [/name/.] | 2261.2039 |
1712 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2260.6179 | [<laugh>] | 2261.1995 |
1713 | DCB_int_01 | 2261.4192 | [Design] me some kind of engine or something, I don't know. | 2263.8159 |
1714 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2261.5646 | [<laugh>] | 2262.0228 |
1715 | | 2263.9833 | [Mm.] | 2264.2344 |
1716 | DCB_int_01 | 2264.0009 | [I don't know] what I would need an engine for, outside of my car, but | 2267.1731 |
1717 | | 2268.6880 | if I need one I'll call you. | 2269.7146 |
1718 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2269.8203 | Okay. | 2270.3005 |
1719 | DCB_int_01 | 2270.4107 | Um, | 2270.8468 |

1723 | | 2272.1598 | so you got older. You love Abraham Lincoln. | 2274.4581 |
1724 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2275.2872 | No I d- As a child, I /always been interested in history/. I been uh- I've always watched the History Channel. | 2279.4771 |
1726 | | 2280.4237 | Like I [just al-] always love history. | 2282.1023 |
1727 | DCB_int_01 | 2280.6616 | [Really?] | 2281.0713 |
1728 | | 2283.3491 | Where'd that come- It just- | 2284.1774 |
1729 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2284.3360 | [I- I don't know, sparked] my int- I have no idea where it came from. I just al- I guess just | 2288.1816 |
1730 | DCB_int_01 | 2284.3360 | [something just-] | 2284.9660 |
1731 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2288.3975 | flipping channels, and I just- All of a sudden, something would come on, /and I-/ | 2291.0850 |
1733 | | 2291.6709 | And I just look at it. <laugh> | 2293.3401 |
1735 | | 2293.8644 | So I- I guess that's where it sparked from, but I don't know where it comes from. | 2296.7589 |
1736 | DCB_int_01 | 2297.0012 | So how'd you end up at your current | 2298.3268 |
1738 | | 2298.5514 | job? | 2298.9259 |
1739 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2299.0273 | <ts> | 2299.1815 |
1741 | | 2299.3709 | Um, | 2300.1463 |
1743 | | 2300.2873 | I- I worked for /RD-WORK-1/, the /RD-WORK-5/ | 2302.9175 |
1745 | | 2303.1334 | /RD-WORK-19/, | 2304.8070 |
1747 | | 2305.5515 | and someone told me that uh, /RD-WORK-6/ was hiring. | 2307.9174 |
1749 | | 2308.1465 | So I just applied, | 2309.1334 |
1751 | | 2309.5778 | and I got it. | 2310.1241 |
1753 | | 2310.2827 | I don't know how I got it, but I got it. | 2311.6485 |
1754 | DCB_int_01 | 2312.6045 | So this is my a random question, and it's just my own personal interest. How do you know /RD-NAME-3/? | 2316.3582 |
1755 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2316.4149 | <ts> | 2316.5823 |
1757 | | 2316.7453 | /RD-NAME-3/ started with us last June. | 2319.0495 |
1758 | DCB_int_01 | 2319.4725 | Mm-hm. | 2319.7676 |
1759 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2320.3712 | And um, | 2321.4550 |
1761 | | 2321.8862 | one of my coworkers introduced me to /RD-NAME-3/. | 2323.8732 |
1763 | | 2324.6177 | And I don't know why I took interest to /RD-NAME-3/, but we just starting having these conversations, and we just became friends. | 2330.4274 |
1765 | | 2330.6970 | I- I to- I- I never told him about it, but I look at him as my big brother cause I always ask him [questions.] | 2335.2123 |
1766 | DCB_int_01 | 2334.8863 | [Aw.] | 2335.4899 |
1767 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2336.0097 | So yeah. | 2336.4812 |
1768 | DCB_int_01 | 2336.9350 | Can I tell him that [or-] | 2337.8763 |
1769 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2337.7632 | [Of] course you can tell [him.] <laugh> | 2339.1863 |
1770 | DCB_int_01 | 2338.3712 | [Oh.] | 2338.6003 |
1771 | | 2339.2876 | I mean I could not- [I could cut it off and like], say, | 2341.8908 |
1772 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2340.0888 | [<laugh>] | 2341.3797 |
1773 | DCB_int_01 | 2342.0890 | No, /RD-NAME-3/, I can't tell you. | 2343.2517 |
1775 | | 2343.4636 | Um, but I wouldn't. | 2344.4285 |
1777 | | 2345.0938 | Um, | 2345.6533 |
1779 | | 2345.9126 | so, | 2346.4369 |
1781 | | 2346.7585 | now, | 2347.1110 |
1783 | | 2348.3886 | you said you wouldn't move back to DC. How'd you end up in | 2351.3978 |
1785 | | 2351.7848 | Alexandria? [Are you Alexandria] or Arlington? | 2354.0362 |
1786 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2352.7056 | [Because-] | 2353.0757 |
1787 | | 2354.0494 | Alexandria. [It's because] of where I work. I work in Crystal City, | 2356.4946 |
1788 | DCB_int_01 | 2354.5296 | [Mm.] | 2354.8204 |

1797 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2365.9040 | Only reason. | 2366.4415 |
1799 | | 2366.7763 | I have no reason to be in Virginia. | 2368.0849 |
1801 | | 2368.4329 | To be honest with you, I never kn- I never really knew about Virginia until I w- started working in Virginia. | 2372.2433 |

1923 | | 2513.8383 | What do you think- | 2514.8422 |
1925 | | 2515.0449 | If you could leave one piece of advice | 2517.1244 |
1927 | | 2517.4108 | to like, | 2517.9042 |
1929 | | 2518.2831 | the young- | 2519.2039 |
1931 | | 2519.8465 | Before I say that, | 2520.5867 |
1933 | | 2521.5295 | all the stuff that's going on in the news, especially with young black men, | 2524.8426 |
1935 | | 2525.3713 | um- | 2525.8383 |
1937 | | 2526.5647 | It's just scary. It's a lot going on. | 2528.4988 |
1939 | | 2528.7191 | I don't watch the news, but I hear about it [unfortunately.] | 2531.2436 |
1940 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2530.5783 | [Yeah.] | 2530.8647 |
1941 | DCB_int_01 | 2532.1197 | If you could leave one piece of advice | 2534.4459 |
1943 | | 2535.1200 | to- | 2535.8425 |
1945 | | 2537.1951 | to young black men, | 2538.4105 |
1947 | | 2539.1418 | but also just to the youth in general, what would that piece of advice be? | 2543.0761 |
1948 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2543.0541 | <ts> | 2543.2127 |
1949 | | 2543.6395 | Just try not to fall into the | 2546.6750 |
1951 | | 2547.6531 | trap of You have to be a certain way. | 2550.2833 |
1953 | | 2551.3489 | Just | 2551.6661 |
1955 | | 2552.2697 | be yourself. | 2553.0539 |
1957 | | 2553.6795 | Try not to | 2554.6796 |
1959 | | 2555.4550 | focus on tryna impress your friends and females. Just- | 2559.1024 |
1961 | | 2560.0452 | just | 2560.7413 |
1963 | | 2561.4903 | figure out what you wanna do, | 2562.9788 |
1965 | | 2563.5119 | and f- and follow that path | 2564.9305 |
1967 | | 2565.2962 | because | 2565.8249 |
1969 | | 2566.7105 | as a child, I don't know why, but I never really cared about what other people thought about me. | 2570.7191 |
1970 | DCB_int_01 | 2571.0583 | Hm. | 2571.2301 |
1971 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2571.8337 | So to fall into the trap of tryna sell drugs or tryna create this pert- persona that I'm a thug, | 2577.0715 |
1973 | | 2577.6267 | I- I never- I never was that | 2579.2392 |
1975 | | 2579.4330 | child | 2579.7987 |
1977 | | 2580.1461 | or never was that individual. | 2581.4370 |
1979 | | 2582.0097 | So that's how my mentality is not, | 2584.1069 |
1981 | | 2584.5430 | I need to be like this. I need to do that. | 2586.1379 |
1983 | | 2586.6616 | So, | 2587.0669 |
1985 | | 2587.7366 | I w- I would just try to tell them | 2589.4504 |
1987 | | 2589.9967 | to | 2590.4990 |
1989 | | 2590.7105 | try to- Because- If you- Growing up in that environment | 2593.1859 |
1991 | | 2593.3665 | and growing up around those people, | 2594.7852 |
1993 | | 2595.3447 | you can't help but wanna be like that. | 2597.2039 |
1995 | | 2597.7760 | So I would try to s- | 2598.6528 |
1997 | | 2599.1594 | steer their mind from that. | 2601.0099 |
1999 | | 2602.1598 | Try to because it's hard to- <laugh> to talk to young individuals. | 2605.4238 |
2001 | | 2606.1155 | So try to steer their mind from- from that- | 2608.0804 |
2003 | | 2608.2567 | from that concept. | 2609.3273 |
2005 | | 2609.9567 | And try to get them to follow the right path or to follow their own path. | 2613.6619 |
2006 | DCB_int_01 | 2614.8999 | Hm. | 2615.0365 |
2007 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2614.9968 | Because you- If you don't have goals in minds, you're not gonna strive to do anything. | 2618.5693 |
2008 | | 2620.3448 | So th- I- That's- That would be my advice. | 2622.7805 |
2010 | | 2624.2344 | I just think that would be difficult | 2625.7500 |
2012 | | 2626.7633 | because | 2627.3052 |
2014 | | 2627.5035 | that person has to want to do it. | 2629.0581 |
2015 | DCB_int_01 | 2629.9569 | Right. | 2630.2212 |
2017 | | 2631.4284 | Do you mentor? | 2632.3095 |
2019 | | 2632.5651 | Do you [/feel/-] | 2633.3581 |
2020 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2633.0012 | [I want] to mentor, but no I don't. | 2634.4581 |
2021 | DCB_int_01 | 2635.6176 | And why not? | 2636.1331 |
2022 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2636.4459 | <ts> | 2636.5693 |
2024 | | 2637.0847 | I j- I really- I really don't have the time. | 2638.7854 |
2026 | | 2638.9308 | I [really] have to make time because I have- I have two kids. | 2641.8688 |
2027 | DCB_int_01 | 2639.0982 | [/Yeah./] | 2639.5167 |
2028 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2643.0451 | That's a story within itself. | 2644.1862 |
2030 | | 2644.3756 | <laugh> | 2644.8382 |
2032 | | 2645.2832 | I have two- two little girls by two different uh, | 2647.8247 |
2034 | | 2648.1111 | mothers. | 2648.5781 |
2036 | | 2649.4989 | So that- that- that set me back a little bit from- from going back to school because I- I was- I was ready to go back to school but | 2655.6883 |
2038 | | 2656.3448 | /had them/ babies, and that- that took my- My m- My money went to that, | 2659.7207 |
2039 | DCB_int_01 | 2660.4900 | [How old are] they? | 2661.1024 |
2040 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2660.4944 | [so.] | 2660.9041 |
2041 | | 2661.3447 | Uh, | 2661.6575 |
2043 | | 2662.1113 | two and three. No, no, no. Three and four. | 2663.8295 |

2078 | | 2704.6003 | /RD-NAME-4/. | 2705.5432 |
2080 | | 2706.0844 | Her mother | 2706.8070 |
2082 | | 2707.7983 | got mad at me and didn't give her my last name. | 2709.6839 |
2084 | | 2710.8162 | Her name was supposed to be /RD-NAME-6/, and I'm still salty about that. | 2714.1728 |
2086 | | 2715.4945 | My other daughter, she's three? | 2717.2436 |

2097 | DCB_int_01 | 2731.0449 | No, okay. | 2731.6441 |
2099 | | 2732.1948 | So | 2732.5825 |
2101 | | 2732.7940 | how often do you see them? What do y'all do when y'all get [together?] | 2735.7546 |
2102 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2735.4594 | [<laugh>] | 2735.9661 |
2103 | DCB_int_01 | 2736.1417 | Are you like, let's go to the park. Let's play [basketball.] | 2738.5428 |
2104 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2738.4503 | [Nah], I wish I could play basketball with them. Uh, I can't wait til that happens. But um, | 2742.0674 |

2111 | | 2748.8202 | The reason why I don't get 'em both together is I c- I can't handle both of 'em together. | 2751.8866 |
2113 | | 2752.4109 | My little- my l- my younger one, she's a- she's tough by herself. | 2755.2343 |
2115 | | 2755.9877 | Um, I will at some point get both of them together when they get older. | 2758.6620 |

2134 | DCB_int_01 | 2777.7893 | Oh. | 2778.1197 |

2204 | DCB_int_01 | 2857.2446 | Why? | 2857.6410 |
2205 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2858.4745 | The book gives you um, | 2861.3888 |
2207 | | 2862.3121 | a different way of thinking- expanding your thinking. | 2865.0434 |
2209 | | 2865.3138 | Like one- one- I tell this story all the time. One- one section of book, | 2868.8157 |
2211 | | 2869.3974 | he talks about how when you wash your hands, | 2871.6402 |
2213 | | 2871.7381 | don't focus on what's around you. Just focus on the water going around your fingers. | 2875.5244 |
2215 | | 2875.7657 | Like try to- | 2876.3719 |
2217 | | 2876.7263 | The book, he's- he's kind of want you to think of- | 2878.9458 |
2219 | | 2879.1090 | think in the now instead of tryna think in the future or the past. | 2881.7482 |
2221 | | 2882.2600 | Like take care of what you got going on now, and the future and the past will take care of itself. | 2885.7758 |
2223 | | 2886.5126 | So that's why I- I read that book like three times because I read it when | 2889.9620 |
2225 | | 2890.4422 | I have a lot going on in my life. | 2892.1489 |
2227 | | 2892.8856 | So I read it to just try to get my mind to focus on other things | 2895.7148 |
2229 | | 2896.1392 | and try to be | 2896.8572 |
2231 | | 2897.0764 | calm- calm and well mannered | 2898.3634 |
2233 | | 2899.0814 | [instead of being stressed.] | 2900.0700 |
2234 | DCB_int_01 | 2899.1001 | [Mm-hm.] | 2899.6923 |
2235 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2900.4139 | So I- I love that book. | 2901.4770 |
2236 | DCB_int_01 | 2901.7941 | The Power of Now. | 2902.7174 |
2237 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2902.7220 | Yeah, [by Eckhart Tolle.] | 2903.7012 |
2238 | DCB_int_01 | 2903.0158 | [Mkay.] | 2903.5567 |
2239 | | 2903.8551 | I need to read that. | 2904.7038 |
2240 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2904.7690 | You will love it. | 2905.4918 |
2241 | DCB_int_01 | 2905.8217 | Really? | 2906.1388 |
2242 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2906.1854 | Yeah. | 2906.3579 |
2243 | DCB_int_01 | 2906.8102 | Cause I have a lot | 2907.3325 |
2245 | | 2907.5237 | [/just stuff going everywhere/.] | 2908.6847 |
2246 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2907.5423 | [<laugh> If you read it], you will- | 2908.8479 |
2247 | | 2909.0857 | It just- | 2909.4215 |
2249 | | 2909.6546 | It just gives you a different way of thinking and- and approaching certain situations. He talks about everything from religion to love to | 2915.2209 |
2251 | | 2915.6593 | everything. It just gives you a different way of thinking, and it's- | 2918.0327 |
2253 | | 2918.3160 | I like how in the book, he goes- He has a question and answer | 2921.0531 |
2255 | | 2921.6359 | thing in the book, where people ask him questions on what- what he just said, and he would respond to it. | 2925.9526 |
2257 | | 2926.4049 | So I- I like that part in the book as well. | 2928.0090 |
2258 | DCB_int_01 | 2928.7970 | Hm. | 2929.1840 |
2260 | | 2929.5337 | What's your favorite TV show? | 2930.6657 |
2261 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2930.9874 | [Um], | 2931.6542 |
2262 | DCB_int_01 | 2931.1133 | [Or movie.] | 2931.6822 |
2263 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2932.2977 | movie? I don't have a favorite movie. I don't really have a favorite anything, but of course | 2935.1141 |
2265 | | 2935.5337 | my favorite TV show right now will have to be Power. | 2937.2905 |
2267 | | 2938.2884 | <laugh> | 2939.1697 |
2269 | | 2939.4681 | [Would have-] | 2939.9624 |
2270 | DCB_int_01 | 2939.4774 | [A popular] one. | 2940.3867 |
2271 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2940.4053 | would have to be Power. That show is just the best. | 2942.8802 |
2272 | DCB_int_01 | 2943.2672 | Why? | 2943.6122 |
2273 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2944.5915 | It's just entertaining. | 2945.6966 |
2275 | | 2946.5779 | It's very entertaining. | 2947.4778 |
2277 | | 2948.9175 | I found myself- | 2949.9480 |
2279 | | 2950.0599 | I guess I ca- I don't relate to Ghost, but I've found a little bit of my personality in the Ghost. | 2954.6237 |
2281 | | 2955.1786 | Like, I love how | 2956.3490 |
2283 | | 2957.1697 | he's- | 2957.9997 |
2285 | | 2959.3006 | he's doing what he's doing, and he's kind of like using that | 2962.2044 |
2287 | | 2962.3537 | to | 2962.7500 |
2289 | | 2963.0344 | move on and progress in his life. | 2964.7877 |
2290 | DCB_int_01 | 2965.0115 | Mm. | 2965.3006 |
2291 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2965.4918 | So I- I like- I like that. And I like the fact that | 2968.0879 |
2293 | | 2969.5287 | he's in l- | 2970.0836 |
2295 | | 2970.8856 | he's willing to | 2972.1119 |
2297 | | 2972.3673 | f- f- fight for what he want, | 2973.7615 |
2299 | | 2974.4003 | even though he's not going about it the right way. | 2976.3261 |
2301 | | 2977.2446 | So | 2977.5524 |
2303 | | 2978.1061 | yeah. | 2978.4605 |
2305 | | 2979.2998 | I see myself in Ghost a little bit. That's why I like. | 2981.2769 |
2306 | DCB_int_01 | 2981.8691 | Okay. | 2982.3634 |
2308 | | 2983.2307 | Um, | 2983.8264 |
2310 | | 2985.1879 | you talked about | 2985.9666 |
2312 | | 2986.1345 | DC as a little | 2987.3375 |
2314 | | 2987.5753 | different, where you talked about the carry out. | 2989.4265 |
2316 | | 2990.1621 | I think this is really interesting, cause I was not | 2992.3537 |
2318 | | 2992.5029 | aware of | 2993.1090 |
2320 | | 2993.2769 | carry out. | 2994.0230 |
2321 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2994.1862 | <laugh> | 2994.6478 |
2322 | DCB_int_01 | 2994.6245 | I also called it the Chinese place. Um- | 2996.8662 |
2323 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 2996.8429 | Do you w- Have you changed that? | 2997.9293 |
2324 | | 2998.1252 | Do you call it carry out now? | 2999.2163 |
2325 | DCB_int_01 | 3001.0675 | Uh, well, | 3001.8322 |
2327 | | 3002.8895 | s- | 3003.0900 |
2328 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3003.3511 | [<laugh>] | 3005.4121 |
2329 | DCB_int_01 | 3004.0086 | [maybe.] | 3004.5122 |
2331 | | 3005.4028 | Um, | 3005.9717 |
2332 | | 3006.2654 | but what is that- | 3007.2540 |
2334 | | 3007.7471 | is carry out different from Chinese- | 3009.4630 |
2336 | | 3009.6309 | the Chinese- Is a carry out place different from a Chinese food place? | 3013.0675 |
2337 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3013.3239 | Okay. | 3013.7902 |
2339 | | 3014.4885 | In our minds, | 3015.5237 |
2340 | DCB_int_01 | 3015.8780 | Mm-hm. | 3016.1485 |
2341 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3017.0111 | anything Chinese /felated/ would always be the carry out. | 3019.2493 |
2343 | | 3021.1320 | So no matter if they do directly say only Chinese food, | 3024.2141 |
2345 | | 3024.3634 | we will always call it a carry out. | 3025.6223 |
2347 | | 3025.9476 | Cause that's- that's what- | 3027.0689 |
2349 | | 3027.5516 | It's kind of like, | 3028.3070 |
2351 | | 3028.5215 | you- | 3028.8106 |
2353 | | 3029.3468 | you know that | 3030.1302 |
2355 | | 3030.9089 | the light switch is named light switch. | 3032.4559 |
2356 | DCB_int_01 | 3032.5444 | Mm-hm. | 3032.8429 |
2357 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3033.1553 | You wouldn't call it a- nothing else, but a- but I guess a flicker. | 3035.8784 |
2359 | | 3036.6898 | But in your mind you're programmed to think it's a light switch. That's how our mind was programmed growing up. | 3040.7407 |
2361 | | 3041.6779 | So my mother didn't say, go down into the Chinese store. She said, go to the carry out. | 3045.0434 |
2363 | | 3046.6241 | So | 3047.2396 |
2365 | | 3048.2701 | if you wanna talk /technicalically/ | 3050.1026 |
2367 | | 3050.7449 | yes it- there are different. | 3051.8687 |
2369 | | 3053.7805 | [Cause you-] | 3054.1209 |
2370 | DCB_int_01 | 3053.7805 | [What's the] difference? | 3054.6198 |
2371 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3054.6338 | Okay. | 3055.0255 |
2373 | | 3056.0409 | The carry out sells steak and cheese. They sell cigarettes. They sell um, | 3059.9157 |
2375 | | 3060.6944 | <ts> | 3060.8483 |
2377 | | 3061.1234 | candy bars. They sell uh- | 3063.3791 |
2379 | | 3063.6496 | What else do they- Pizza. | 3064.8386 |
2381 | | 3065.5147 | They sell | 3066.0976 |
2383 | | 3066.3214 | a variety of things. It's kind of like, | 3068.3533 |
2385 | | 3069.1786 | I tell people- Like, if you go to Northwest, you have these different restaurants. You have what- | 3073.2446 |
2387 | | 3073.4032 | The Florida Grill. You have | 3074.8335 |
2389 | | 3075.4024 | um, /Cosis/ and all this stuff, but when you come to Southeast, all we have is the carry out. | 3079.0675 |
2391 | | 3080.1248 | We don't have n- | 3080.8708 |
2393 | | 3081.0574 | these restaurants that we're able to go to. | 3083.1137 |
2395 | | 3084.1535 | Uh, except what- Do we have a McDonald's? Yeah, we have one McDonald's | 3087.1973 |
2397 | | 3088.7080 | and | 3089.4494 |
2399 | | 3090.0882 | a KFC or something like that. That's- that's all our restaurants that we have over here. | 3093.3511 |
2401 | | 3094.4609 | That's why I said gentrification would be good cause we- they can give us these restaurants so we don't have to keep eating this junk food. | 3099.3511 |
2402 | DCB_int_01 | 3100.5308 | What's your favorite carry out? | 3101.6966 |
2403 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3102.2934 | Uh, | 3103.0208 |
2405 | | 3103.4452 | s- | 3103.7704 |
2407 | | 3104.0455 | I'm'a have to say Eddie, | 3104.7496 |
2409 | | 3104.9548 | Eddie /Lenox/, | 3105.6076 |
2411 | | 3106.2930 | off of Alabama Avenue. | 3107.3702 |
2412 | DCB_int_01 | 3108.1162 | Somebody else- I need to go try them. [Somebody] else told me that. | 3111.0807 |
2413 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3109.9569 | [Yeah.] | 3110.2227 |
2414 | DCB_int_01 | 3112.0785 | Why? | 3112.2930 |
2415 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3113.2023 | I don't know. They chicken just taste good. | 3114.5685 |
2417 | | 3115.5198 | [<laugh>] | 3116.6284 |
2418 | DCB_int_01 | 3115.7611 | [Okay.] | 3116.2087 |
2419 | | 3116.6937 | Do you like mumbo sauce? | 3117.8780 |
2420 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3117.9387 | I don't- I'm- | 3118.5122 |
2422 | | 3119.6033 | They can car- I don't like mumbo sauce. I never did. | 3121.5151 |
2424 | | 3122.0222 | I'm not a sauce person anyway, but no, I don't like mumbo sauce. | 3124.7289 |
2425 | DCB_int_01 | 3125.6733 | Is mumbo sauce unique to DC? | 3127.1281 |
2426 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3127.1327 | Of course it's unique to DC. | 3128.3439 |
2427 | DCB_int_01 | 3129.2765 | You've never seen it anywhere [else?] | 3130.5355 |
2428 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3130.2837 | [Nowhere] else. E- even when I was up there, I said, Do y'all know what mumbo sauce is? They said, no, we never heard of it. | 3134.0793 |
2429 | | 3134.4698 | I brung my friend down here. He's- He's from Philly. | 3136.3397 |
2431 | | 3137.0811 | He ha- The first time he had a steak and cheese, and he had mumbo sauce, he was hooked. | 3140.6564 |
2433 | | 3140.9688 | He still talked about it to this day. He said, I got to come down there so I can get a steak and cheese. | 3144.2328 |
2434 | DCB_int_01 | 3145.2866 | And mumbo sauce. | 3146.0688 |
2435 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3146.0595 | <laugh> | 3147.1320 |
2436 | DCB_int_01 | 3147.7801 | So what is mumbo sauce? | 3149.0904 |
2437 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3149.5474 | I don't know what it is. They say it is a | 3151.4405 |
2439 | | 3152.0642 | sweet sauce and hot sauce or something like that. I have no idea what it is. | 3155.3189 |
2440 | DCB_int_01 | 3155.8738 | It's kind of just a mix of [stuff.] | 3157.6596 |
2441 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3157.3472 | [Yeah.] | 3157.7296 |
2442 | DCB_int_01 | 3158.6424 | What else is unique to DC? I know you said the New Balance was kind of a DC thing, but that's not necessarily unique to DC. | 3165.0853 |
2443 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3165.1366 | Uh- Of course the language, the way we dress, | 3167.5707 |
2445 | | 3167.9017 | um, | 3168.4426 |
2447 | | 3172.2884 | I would say that's about it. | 3173.3795 |
2448 | DCB_int_01 | 3174.9835 | What about go go music? | 3176.1632 |
2449 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3176.1901 | Oh man. How do I- ca- can I forget go go music? | 3178.2324 |
2451 | | 3178.4609 | [<laugh>] | 3179.2303 |
2452 | DCB_int_01 | 3178.6987 | [That's why I'm here.] | 3179.3842 |
2453 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3179.6733 | Okay, growing up in DC right? | 3181.3985 |
2455 | | 3184.1065 | We- When we go- When we go to parties or when we go to a club, | 3187.5291 |
2457 | | 3188.1155 | we play- we played- I don't- Today is different. We played go go music. | 3191.5334 |
2459 | | 3192.3447 | So, going- going to college, | 3194.5165 |
2461 | | 3195.1646 | you would hear uh, Jay Z, | 3197.0344 |
2463 | | 3197.6872 | um, | 3198.2654 |
2465 | | 3198.5452 | Beyonce, you would hear that stuff at parties. I'm like, Okay, | 3201.1460 |
2467 | | 3201.4164 | this is different. | 3202.1065 |
2469 | | 3202.5122 | I never experienced hearing regular rap music at a party before. | 3205.6363 |
2471 | | 3206.4419 | So that's how | 3207.2579 |
2473 | | 3207.8034 | embedded or | 3208.7686 |
2475 | | 3209.0158 | that's how | 3209.5474 |
2477 | | 3209.9484 | go go is in DC. You don't h- You don't hear nothing else. | 3212.5538 |
2479 | | 3213.2252 | Like riding around the street, all you hear is go go music. | 3215.3282 |
2480 | DCB_int_01 | 3216.5825 | Can you describe go go music for me? | 3218.6377 |
2481 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3218.7729 | <laugh> | 3219.4304 |
2483 | | 3220.5635 | Go go music is a- | 3223.2073 |
2485 | | 3223.7949 | It's a certain type of music where | 3225.5097 |
2487 | | 3225.8081 | they repeat- | 3226.6334 |
2489 | | 3227.2816 | It's- It's called a call and response music. | 3229.6352 |
2491 | | 3232.1019 | Like the beat is this- It's a lot of congos. | 3234.5172 |
2493 | | 3234.8949 | That's basically what makes it different, the congos. | 3236.8429 |
2494 | DCB_int_01 | 3240.3027 | What's your favorite go go band? | 3242.0607 |

2497 | | 3243.0247 | I don't- I'm not a go go fan. | 3244.2790 |
2499 | | 3244.7453 | That's another thing that- | 3245.8504 |
2501 | | 3246.8949 | I don't like go go. | 3247.6457 |
2502 | DCB_int_01 | 3248.8289 | You don't like go go? | 3249.7428 |
2503 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3249.7381 | Mm-mm. | 3250.1298 |
2504 | | 3250.6987 | As a child I never liked listening to it. | 3252.4659 |
2505 | DCB_int_01 | 3253.7529 | But you used to | 3254.3205 |
2507 | | 3254.5724 | party to go go. | 3255.6496 |
2508 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3255.7288 | I- I'm not a party person. I would be in the party | 3258.0463 |
2510 | | 3258.3680 | while people was partying to it, | 3259.8602 |
2512 | | 3260.4605 | listening to go go. I like the way the girls dance at go go though. I do like that. | 3263.2909 |
2514 | | 3263.4727 | <laugh> | 3264.5359 |
2515 | DCB_int_01 | 3264.8250 | So what's your most- What's your favorite memory | 3267.1599 |
2517 | | 3267.5656 | at a go go, whether you were partying or looking at the girls or whatever you were doing. | 3271.5944 |
2518 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3271.8602 | Uh, that- that would be it, looking at the girls dance to g- to go go. Uh, | 3275.4681 |
2520 | | 3276.0416 | a go go song that stands out to me- I'm not sure who's- who | 3279.6402 |
2522 | | 3279.9993 | performed this song, but uh, | 3281.3842 |
2524 | | 3281.8131 | when Project Pat came out with uh, | 3283.5990 |
2526 | | 3285.1506 | I don't know if I c- Can I say it? | 3286.1112 |
2527 | DCB_int_01 | 3286.2184 | Mm-hm. | 3286.5542 |
2528 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3286.5961 | Oh. Make Your Ass Clap, | 3287.6499 |
2530 | | 3289.3379 | and the go go bands redid that song. That's- that was- that was when I was in junior high school. | 3293.8504 |
2531 | DCB_int_01 | 3294.7970 | And that's what stands out [to you.] | 3296.0607 |
2532 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3295.6911 | [Yeah.] That's- that's the go go song that stands out. | 3297.8734 |
2533 | DCB_int_01 | 3299.2676 | <laugh> Where did you go? Like, where- I know you said they were- | 3302.9501 |
2534 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3303.2392 | [<ts>] | 3303.4117 |
2535 | DCB_int_01 | 3303.2579 | [Did you] go to like, clubs, parties? | 3305.2303 |
2536 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3304.4283 | [Uh, you know-] I don't know if y- You- You should know. They have- they- they had- I don't know if they still have it. They had the go go parties. | 3309.8594 |
2537 | | 3310.1252 | Go go | 3310.5821 |
2539 | | 3310.9598 | clubs. They had go go clubs for kids | 3312.8763 |
2541 | | 3313.1689 | called the- You ever heard of the CFE? | 3314.6097 |
2543 | | 3315.4304 | This was in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. They had th- They had the CFE. | 3317.9717 |
2545 | | 3318.4566 | I don't renam- remember the names of other go go clubs, but | 3321.0900 |
2547 | | 3321.3791 | um, as a child, I'm'a say /I/ was like, | 3323.1976 |
2549 | | 3323.8458 | /about/ ten to thirteen years old, | 3325.7902 |
2551 | | 3326.3113 | they had a lot of house parties. | 3327.4537 |
2552 | DCB_int_01 | 3327.9200 | Mm-hm. | 3328.3723 |
2553 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3328.3117 | They had a lot of house parties where they would play go go. | 3330.0276 |
2554 | DCB_int_01 | 3331.1514 | So obviously it was a big deal because they even marketed to the like, | 3335.7618 |
2556 | | 3335.9763 | the | 3336.1349 |
2558 | | 3336.3494 | teens and the younger people. | 3338.5165 |
2560 | | 3339.1320 | But you were in Upper Marlboro, | 3340.5308 |
2562 | | 3340.7966 | which was not DC, | 3341.9157 |
2564 | | 3342.1908 | right? That's what you were just saying. They- | 3343.6410 |
2566 | | 3343.8928 | Is- This [was- Club was in DC?] | 3345.4397 |
2567 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3344.4652 | [Yeah, but you know, we-] we d- we didn't have clubs | 3346.6334 |
2568 | | 3346.9365 | in the- in the area. So that's w- | 3348.0043 |
2570 | | 3348.1908 | that's where we have to travel to to go to a club. | 3350.0700 |
2571 | DCB_int_01 | 3350.3952 | Do you still consider that the DC area though? | 3352.1998 |
2572 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3352.5448 | D- Whatchu mean, DC area? | 3353.7245 |
2573 | DCB_int_01 | 3353.8365 | Like, Upper Marlboro, do you still consider that DC? | 3356.1819 |
2574 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3356.7496 | No. | 3357.0387 |
2575 | DCB_int_01 | 3357.4351 | [That's-] | 3357.9573 |
2576 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3357.4397 | [I con- I] consider DC DC. When I- | 3359.5194 |
2577 | | 3361.4218 | If you- if you grew up in DC, | 3362.8755 |
2579 | | 3363.0340 | when you go to Maryland, that's Maryland. | 3364.4935 |
2581 | | 3364.7313 | You don't- you don't- | 3365.6033 |
2583 | | 3366.3913 | you don't say, This is DC. | 3367.9161 |
2585 | | 3368.8335 | So, if somebody- Even if it's across the street, | 3371.1184 |
2587 | | 3371.9111 | if somebody says, | 3372.9929 |
2589 | | 3373.9989 | I'm- I'm about to go to Maryland. W- I'm'a walk across the street. | 3376.3443 |
2591 | | 3377.1697 | <laugh> | 3377.5287 |
2593 | | 3377.9064 | If somebody from there across the street, say, I'm from DC, we say, No, you're not. You're from Maryland. | 3381.2905 |
2595 | | 3382.3816 | People from Maryland um, | 3384.0649 |
2597 | | 3384.6291 | they will say, No, that's- that's still DC. We say, No it's not. Because if you- | 3388.1345 |
2599 | | 3388.6194 | If you go to this place, | 3389.7479 |
2601 | | 3389.8691 | and it looks- To me, it looks suburban. | 3391.5944 |
2603 | | 3392.4652 | Like uh, | 3393.3511 |
2605 | | 3393.9293 | what's- what's those areas? Um, District Heights, | 3398.0933 |
2607 | | 3398.2460 | Suitland, | 3398.9221 |
2609 | | 3399.2998 | those areas to me, those are suburban. | 3400.9225 |
2611 | | 3402.0743 | So, when I would come back home to DC, I see the neighborhoods. | 3405.5003 |
2613 | | 3406.2231 | I see how my neighborhoods look, and I go /there/, okay. I'm like, Okay, this is suburban. It's quiet. | 3410.2985 |
2615 | | 3410.6890 | You have these s- nice little streets. | 3412.3163 |
2617 | | 3412.9738 | But | 3413.2396 |
2619 | | 3413.6126 | growing up, grow- g- I grew up so I notice that those are- those are not really suburban areas, | 3417.6542 |
2621 | | 3418.1858 | but you have your uh, Largo. You have your Upper Marlboro. | 3421.0255 |
2623 | | 3421.1281 | You have those areas. Those are more suburban. | 3422.8708 |
2625 | | 3423.4490 | But grow- As a child, | 3424.7267 |
2627 | | 3425.5847 | to me, no. Tho- those- You was from Maryland. | 3427.5104 |
2628 | DCB_int_01 | 3427.8030 | That's Maryland. That's not DC [at all.] | 3429.4257 |
2629 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3429.0760 | [Mm-mm.] | 3429.4304 |
2630 | DCB_int_01 | 3429.8967 | And what about Virginia? Is that just a whole [different animal?] | 3432.3773 |
2631 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3431.6499 | [I- I have] no idea. | 3433.0488 |
2632 | | 3433.4114 | It j- <laugh> I told you. I- [I never knew] about Virginia until I started working there. | 3436.8386 |
2633 | DCB_int_01 | 3434.6144 | [<laugh>] | 3435.1366 |
2634 | DCB_se2_ag2_m_01 | 3437.2862 | So I don't know what's going on in- I never knew what was going on in Virginia. | 3440.1166 |
2636 | | 3440.5118 | Um, | 3441.0061 |
2638 | | 3441.3511 | not- Like I said, when I would think of Virginia, I'd just think of white- white people live there. | 3445.1421 |
2640 | | 3445.3332 | I didn't know that | 3446.1166 |
2642 | | 3446.2740 | black people lived in Virginia. | 3447.3371 |
2644 | | 3448.2184 | I didn't know that until I- <laugh> got a- til I got older. | 3450.6758 |
2645 | DCB_int_01 | 3451.9348 | Okay. | 3452.3205 |
