385 | | 377.8919 | And so (laughing) | 378.7405 |
387 | | 379.2348 | uh, | 379.6638 |
389 | | 379.8491 | even after /RD-NAME-2/ um, | 381.9614 |
391 | | 382.5303 | promoted out of uh, elementary school, | 384.7416 |
393 | | 385.8804 | and he then went to um, | 387.3646 |
395 | | 388.2785 | school in Maryland. | 389.1924 |
397 | | 389.9991 | Uh, | 390.4001 |

407 | | 401.2810 | so I was a dance mother. | 402.8245 |
409 | | 402.9690 | <laugh> | 403.3280 |
411 | | 403.6207 | It was fun, we did a lot of- | 405.2713 |
413 | | 405.8682 | going to Myrtle- places like Myrtle Beach, and we went to Disney World and we went to | 409.8316 |
415 | | 410.3760 | all | 410.6372 |

419 | | 412.6982 | Lot of times, they would be the only uh, | 414.5307 |
421 | | 414.6659 | African American children th- in the competition. | 417.0055 |
423 | | 417.4217 | And they would go and | 418.2785 |
425 | | 418.8008 | tear it up and be the winners. And then little kids would be jealous, but that was cool. | 422.8708 |
427 | | 423.2433 | We would- We were proud of them. They were- | 424.8746 |
429 | | 425.0759 | did really good. | 426.0084 |
431 | | 426.8524 | And at the same time um, | 428.3154 |
433 | | 429.3646 | /RD-NAME-2/ was called to preach | 431.4558 |
435 | | 431.5142 | when he was thirteen. | 432.8245 |
437 | | 433.9098 | And um, | 434.7118 |
439 | | 435.4112 | that was another exciting time | 437.3743 |
441 | | 437.7193 | in our life and uh- | 438.7918 |
443 | | 440.5439 | /<sigh>/ | 441.1268 |
445 | | 442.3531 | Oh that's- I don't know. | 443.6681 |
447 | | 443.8219 | There's a lot of words for that I- <laugh> I don't know. It was- | 446.5626 |
449 | | 446.8563 | it was a- it was just um- | 448.2039 |
451 | | 449.9572 | It was a d- dynamic ex- | 451.3933 |
453 | | 451.6731 | time | 452.3621 |
455 | | 453.6490 | you know, because for him, being so young, | 456.0038 |
457 | | 457.5472 | I felt like I was called too. | 458.9709 |
459 | | 459.9288 | You know, cause I had to- | 461.1924 |
461 | | 462.0691 | I had to look out for him. I had to protect him, you know, | 464.8361 |
463 | | 465.0615 | and make sure that- | 466.1526 |
465 | | 467.0945 | You know, people would approach him with things. You know, I would make sure it was | 470.1674 |
467 | | 470.6512 | something that was gonna be right for him. And so | 472.8947 |
469 | | 473.7986 | I- You know I- | 474.9550 |
471 | | 475.0389 | i- I told God, Well you know, | 476.5532 |
473 | | 476.6558 | you- you call him, you call me. So he's my ministry, you know. He's doing his ministry, but he's my ministry. So | 482.4347 |
475 | | 483.1128 | that's we made- I made up my mind that | 484.7728 |
477 | | 485.4209 | I was gonna stick with him and support him and- | 487.7384 |
479 | | 488.2968 | and that's what I did. And | 489.4718 |
481 | | 489.8542 | wherever he went, | 490.7308 |
483 | | 491.3603 | I- I never missed anything until I got sick. | 494.3387 |
485 | | 494.8657 | You know, | 495.1687 |
487 | | 495.4205 | or | 495.8169 |
489 | | 496.0619 | started dealing with physical | 497.3133 |
491 | | 497.4256 | things. | 497.8639 |
493 | | 498.5120 | And um, | 499.0763 |
495 | | 501.3133 | he r- he really made me proud. | 502.9933 |
497 | | 503.2437 | He really made me proud, loved to hear him speak. | 505.4633 |
499 | | 505.8818 | He's a very dynamic, | 507.1687 |
501 | | 507.6444 | very strong | 508.5350 |

554 | | 559.3700 | kind of- and all this time growing up, I know you had- | 561.4625 |
556 | | 561.6444 | you had your family, and then when you were married- | 563.9385 |
558 | | 564.8384 | Where did y'all hang out? Where did y'all go like if you and- | 567.6304 |
560 | | 567.7423 | and your husband wanted to go on a date? | 569.2670 |
562 | | 569.7893 | Where would y'all go? And what did y'all do in the city that you were like, yeah, this is my city. | 574.0267 |

572 | | 583.4155 | we didn't do a lot of that. <laugh> | 585.7842 |
574 | | 586.2365 | Um, once in awhile, | 587.7147 |
576 | | 588.1950 | we'll go out to just- go out to dinner. | 590.0275 |
578 | | 591.0568 | Um, | 591.4951 |
580 | | 592.1992 | I remember in DC, | 593.3417 |
582 | | 593.5422 | there was a- | 594.0504 |
584 | | 594.3395 | a Hot Shoppe on Georgia Avenue. | 596.3854 |
586 | | 597.5931 | It was- | 597.9195 |

590 | | 600.6566 | Georgia and Decatur or | 602.2362 |
592 | | 602.9076 | Emerson, somewhere up in there. | 604.3531 |
594 | | 605.3603 | And that- | 605.7660 |
596 | | 605.9012 | that Hot Shoppe- We used to love to go there. | 608.0543 |
598 | | 608.6838 | They had good food. | 609.4532 |
600 | | 609.7190 | <laugh> | 610.0454 |

602 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 611.1225 | Hot Shoppes. | 611.9199 |
603 | DCB_int_01 | 611.9898 | /Hop/ [Shoppes.] | 612.8565 |

605 | | 613.2907 | That was a big- | 613.7885 |
607 | | 614.1522 | That was a big fa- a popular restaurant | 616.2086 |
609 | | 616.3485 | back there, back in the | 617.6447 |
611 | | 617.9525 | eighties, | 618.5120 |
613 | | 618.8524 | seventies and [eighties.] | 619.9098 |
614 | DCB_int_01 | 619.3607 | /[I don't remember] it/. | 620.3621 |
615 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 620.3621 | Mm-hm. | 620.9916 |
616 | DCB_int_01 | 621.0988 | I mean I don't- I've not heard of it, | 622.4883 |
618 | | 622.6422 | [not that I remember-] | 623.3510 |
619 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 622.7028 | [Uh-huh.] | 623.4489 |
620 | DCB_int_01 | 623.4582 | but [I've] | 623.7753 |
621 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 623.5328 | [Uh-huh.] | 623.9898 |
622 | DCB_int_01 | 624.0318 | not heard anybody talk about it. | 625.3141 |
623 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 625.5087 | [Yeah.] | 625.8398 |
624 | DCB_int_01 | 625.5274 | [Do you] remember the time- Let's go back, even since you were talking about | 628.4277 |
625 | | 628.5863 | in the seventies and eighties, before- | 630.3628 |
627 | | 631.1462 | Do you remember the time of the riots? | 632.7584 |
628 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 633.1921 | Oh yes. | 634.1200 |
630 | | 634.6422 | I was as- I was at um- | 636.0597 |
632 | | 636.1697 | Let me see. That was sixty eight. | 637.3374 |
634 | | 637.7104 | That's the year I graduated, | 638.8843 |
636 | | 639.5324 | and so the riots was in April. | 641.3836 |
638 | | 641.9245 | And so | 642.5167 |
640 | | 643.1415 | we were in school. | 644.1720 |
642 | | 644.4320 | I /will/ never forget. We were in school when they um- | 647.0106 |
644 | | 647.5235 | when it got word that | 648.6706 |
646 | | 648.8618 | Doctor King had been killed, | 650.1895 |
648 | | 650.7351 | and uh- and all the breakouts started. | 652.9826 |
650 | | 653.0899 | I mean it didn't take no time either. | 654.6986 |
652 | | 654.9830 | It just- | 655.4726 |
654 | | 656.3434 | and we- <laugh> they, | 657.3739 |
656 | | 657.5418 | said we- you know, we were gonna go home. | 659.2997 |
658 | | 660.0411 | /To told the truth/. | 660.7265 |
660 | | 661.2208 | Call parents I guess, whatever they did to- | 663.0568 |
662 | | 663.6910 | for us to leave, and I remember walking down. | 666.1017 |
664 | | 667.1882 | I didn't come down Thirteenth Street. I came down Eleventh Street, the other side of the school. | 671.1178 |
666 | | 672.0737 | And | 672.6193 |
668 | | 672.9457 | I remember standing there on U Street | 674.8821 |
670 | | 675.0195 | looking at | 675.6024 |
672 | | 675.8355 | the smoke and the fire and the people running with | 678.5074 |
674 | | 678.9037 | boxes and | 679.8456 |
676 | | 680.6791 | groceries or whatever they could | 681.9987 |
678 | | 682.4417 | run with. | 682.9313 |
680 | | 683.7940 | And it was- | 684.4747 |
682 | | 685.2861 | it was kind of scary, but it was, wow. | 687.5045 |
684 | | 687.9568 | Just awesome | 688.7168 |
686 | | 688.9220 | to see that. | 689.5935 |
688 | | 690.2323 | It was something I had never seen before. It was just- | 692.3061 |
690 | | 692.6745 | it just- | 693.0755 |
692 | | 693.1827 | it blew my mind. I just couldn't understand why- | 695.3743 |
694 | | 696.0411 | At that time I couldn't understand why, but then as | 698.6978 |
696 | | 699.2527 | time went on and people talked about | 701.2111 |
698 | | 701.4676 | you know, | 701.7893 |
700 | | 702.7265 | Doctor King and talked about | 704.4040 |
702 | | 704.5905 | you know, why this- | 705.4205 |
704 | | 705.8822 | what happened and everything /el-/, | 707.2297 |
706 | | 707.4396 | I started to see or understand a little bit better, but | 710.1531 |
708 | | 711.6117 | I just felt | 712.2692 |
710 | | 712.5350 | bad because they were tearing up their own s- neighborhoods and | 715.8226 |
712 | | 716.3154 | you know. | 716.7724 |
714 | | 717.4905 | And so I was scared, | 718.4277 |
716 | | 718.5536 | but we made it home. | 719.6634 |
718 | | 719.8033 | <clears throat> | 720.3302 |
720 | | 720.4328 | Got down, um, | 721.1602 |
722 | | 721.4761 | came all the way down Eleventh Street, | 722.8097 |
724 | | 723.5930 | and then I was home. And then, | 724.8381 |
726 | | 726.1204 | like I said, I lived on Ninth Street- | 727.6533 |
728 | | 727.9331 | Ninth and P. | 728.7025 |
730 | | 729.5091 | And so, on P Street, | 731.1178 |
732 | | 732.4981 | took you over to Seventh Street, | 734.0415 |
734 | | 734.3154 | and there was a lot of little stores and businesses along Seventh Street. | 737.7007 |
736 | | 738.2090 | And so I could stand on my front stoop, | 739.8689 |
738 | | 740.3621 | and see the smoke- | 741.2107 |
740 | | 741.3553 | Cause that was another little street they tore up. | 743.2064 |
742 | | 743.5375 | /You know/. | 743.8592 |
744 | | 744.1763 | So I could see the smoke up over the trees and see people running. | 747.7236 |
746 | | 748.6982 | I c- I remember seeing this man with a box full of liquor. | 751.3793 |
748 | | 752.6978 | I said, no, no. | 753.8542 |
750 | | 754.4837 | <ts> | 754.6702 |
752 | | 755.0386 | That bothered me. I don't know why it bothered me, but it did. Why liquor? | 758.5019 |

754 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 759.5791 | [You know], why- why you go to /unintelligible/. That's probably why some of you acting like that, cause of this liquor. <laugh> | 764.7817 |
755 | | 765.3879 | [B- <laugh>] | 766.0314 |
756 | DCB_int_01 | 765.3978 | [<laugh>] | 767.1691 |
757 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 766.6003 | [But uh], | 767.1598 |
758 | | 767.5655 | I remember /seeing/ that- that | 768.9084 |
760 | | 769.1182 | um, | 769.5425 |
762 | | 769.7197 | /blamps/. | 770.5952 |
764 | | 770.9263 | I s- I saw somebody with some lamps. | 772.9779 |
766 | | 774.2369 | It was c- It was creepy. | 775.4621 |
768 | | 776.3201 | /Mm-mm/. | 776.7771 |
769 | DCB_int_01 | 777.0242 | Do you remember | 778.1340 |
771 | | 779.1085 | the March on Washington? | 780.3205 |
773 | | 780.4328 | So | 780.7685 |
775 | | 780.8851 | a few years before that? | 782.2500 |
777 | | 782.8703 | Did you participate in the [march?] | 784.4371 |
778 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 783.9568 | [I didn't], no. | 784.7774 |
779 | | 785.6867 | I was | 786.2276 |
781 | | 786.7685 | thirteen. | 787.5379 |
783 | | 789.5185 | That was in sixty three right? | 790.6749 |
784 | DCB_int_01 | 790.6702 | Mm-hm. | 791.1458 |
785 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 792.3209 | Yeah. | 792.7405 |
787 | | 794.0123 | Um, | 794.4087 |
789 | | 794.7631 | my mother had not | 795.8215 |
791 | | 796.1526 | remarried yet, so | 797.5446 |
793 | | 798.3022 | it was just her, | 799.3327 |
795 | | 800.7817 | my sister and me. | 801.7143 |
797 | | 803.9618 | So | 804.5027 |
799 | | 804.9643 | it was like, | 805.5985 |
801 | | 806.5999 | go to school, come home, | 807.9987 |
803 | | 808.5490 | you know? | 808.9127 |
805 | | 809.6820 | She had to know where we were and couldn't- we- we just didn't go and hang out. | 812.7957 |
807 | | 813.0102 | <clears throat> | 813.3832 |
809 | | 814.1060 | So n- um, | 815.0759 |
811 | | 815.3883 | no. I di- I- I | 816.5773 |
813 | | 816.7545 | knew about it, but I didn't participate. | 818.7677 |
815 | | 819.3786 | Mm. | 819.6490 |
816 | DCB_int_01 | 819.9521 | So | 820.3904 |
818 | | 821.2997 | thinking about | 822.1297 |
820 | | 823.4866 | over the last forty years, fifty years | 825.9847 |
822 | | 826.5163 | and kind of the city | 827.5981 |
824 | | 828.3442 | and how it's changed, what do you see- and- and the fact that you've been able to | 832.0649 |
826 | | 832.1573 | live in all parts of the city- | 833.7333 |
828 | | 834.2836 | I think that's- that's [just really] unique. [Um], | 837.0941 |
829 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 835.1777 | [Mm-hm.] | 835.8864 |
831 | | 836.4507 | [Mm-hm.] | 837.0941 |
832 | DCB_int_01 | 837.6677 | what do you see- | 839.1038 |
834 | | 840.1204 | How have you seen the quadrants | 841.4714 |
836 | | 842.0916 | different? How was it different living in Northwest versus | 844.5163 |
838 | | 844.8614 | Southeast is the first question. | 846.4887 |
840 | | 846.9270 | And then the second question is | 848.8097 |
842 | | 849.1525 | how have you seen the city as a whole change | 852.0178 |
843 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 852.1856 | [Mkay.] | 852.7452 |
844 | DCB_int_01 | 852.1903 | [over] | 852.6752 |
845 | | 852.8291 | the last thirty, forty years? | 854.4972 |
846 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 855.9195 | Well going back to when I lived in North- When we first came here, we lived in | 860.0450 |
848 | | 860.1476 | Northwest, | 860.8470 |
850 | | 861.2900 | which- which was called then Upper North- part of North- | 863.9572 |
852 | | 864.0597 | Upper Northwest. | 865.0067 |
853 | DCB_int_01 | 864.9550 | Mm-hm. | 865.2907 |
854 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 865.5938 | Um, | 866.0030 |
855 | DCB_int_01 | 866.4273 | [Uptown.] | 867.1081 |
856 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 866.4367 | [at this-] | 866.8563 |
857 | | 867.1175 | Uptown, y- [Okay.] | 868.0640 |
858 | DCB_int_01 | 867.6397 | [Mm-hm.] | 868.2785 |
859 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 868.6888 | And I could definitely see a differen- It was nicer. The- the houses were nicer. | 872.2472 |
861 | | 872.5999 | Um, | 873.1221 |
863 | | 873.6024 | the people, | 874.2738 |
865 | | 875.5515 | they were nicer. | 876.3069 |
867 | | 876.8897 | I mean, the streets- I mean just a matter of the streets being clean. | 880.5140 |
869 | | 881.2437 | That was different. It was clean there. It was- | 883.2907 |
871 | | 883.8771 | It was okay. You c- you could walk- | 885.6537 |
873 | | 886.1060 | If there was a t- corner store, you could walk there and not | 888.5680 |
875 | | 888.7359 | feel like | 889.4260 |
877 | | 890.0077 | you were in danger. | 890.7910 |
878 | DCB_int_01 | 890.9869 | Mm. | 891.2060 |
879 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 891.5324 | And then, | 892.0827 |
881 | | 892.6749 | Southeast, or the part of Southeast that we moved to, | 895.3047 |
883 | | 896.0683 | it was okay. | 896.9589 |
885 | | 897.0335 | I- There was a | 897.6630 |
887 | | 897.8215 | p- uh, part off of um- | 899.0665 |
889 | | 899.3277 | about to say Minnesota Avenue? | 900.5773 |
891 | | 900.9550 | <clears throat> | 901.4353 |
893 | | 903.0055 | Um, I didn't /stay/ anything- I didn't see a big difference from um- | 906.5339 |
895 | | 907.6346 | We live in Northwest to that part of Southeast. | 909.8850 |
897 | | 910.3018 | You know, we had the- | 910.9267 |
899 | | 911.1458 | and it was a nice quiet neighborhood. There were children there that I knew, | 913.9622 |
901 | | 914.3667 | we used to walk to school with. | 915.7003 |
903 | | 916.0625 | Um, | 916.4604 |
905 | | 917.7473 | so that part was alwa- South- that part of Southwest, let's see, that's the only time I really- | 921.6444 |
907 | | 922.0500 | we were there in Southwest, and it was- | 923.8825 |
909 | | 925.3327 | it w- it was kind of disjointed | 927.4327 |
911 | | 927.9008 | place to me. L- Like I say, that maybe this was the house because the house was- | 931.4493 |
913 | | 931.8958 | it was- | 932.3294 |
915 | | 932.7584 | Everything was like- it was down, | 934.3997 |
917 | | 934.7262 | and it was a dark house and | 936.1204 |
919 | | 936.4887 | we- that's the one we thought was haunted [and-] <laugh>. | 938.7211 |
920 | DCB_int_01 | 937.9704 | [Mm-hm.] | 938.3527 |
921 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 939.1548 | And we weren't there that long, so | 940.8227 |
923 | | 941.1225 | I- You know, I don't really have much feeling about Southwest | 944.0228 |
925 | | 944.2268 | uh, for that. | 944.8843 |
927 | | 945.1501 | And South, um- | 946.1573 |
929 | | 946.6935 | Northeast. | 947.5722 |
931 | | 948.2556 | Uh, when- Linc- We lived in Lincoln Park, | 950.6139 |
933 | | 950.8190 | up, right by there- | 951.8402 |
935 | | 952.1013 | <clears throat> Excuse me. | 953.0367 |
937 | | 954.4188 | I loved that part of town. | 955.6638 |
939 | | 956.1895 | We used to walk from there down to H Street, | 958.5878 |
940 | DCB_int_01 | 959.2950 | [Mm.] | 959.5235 |
941 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 959.4302 | [and] that was my town. That was my city. H Street Northeast, I loved it. | 963.4065 |
942 | | 963.8309 | We'd | 964.0258 |
944 | | 964.1060 | go to the stores. I remember um, | 965.9292 |
946 | | 966.0784 | McBride's. | 967.1013 |
948 | | 967.6358 | We would go there. | 968.7258 |
950 | | 968.8703 | I guess that was- | 969.5371 |
952 | | 970.3158 | McBride's was like a | 971.5561 |
954 | | 972.0504 | KMart now, | 972.7405 |
955 | DCB_int_01 | 973.0203 | [Mm.] | 973.3793 |
956 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 973.0343 | [I guess.] That's what it was like. | 974.1814 |
957 | | 974.7398 | And m- | 975.0895 |
959 | | 975.2340 | uh, my oldest sister worked at a store, | 977.4216 |
961 | | 977.6541 | what's called Copy Cat. | 978.8058 |
963 | | 978.9270 | And that was a | 979.3793 |
965 | | 979.7885 | store w- | 980.2781 |
967 | | 980.4507 | a lady's dress store. Then get nice clothes at Copy Cat. | 983.4519 |
969 | | 984.0084 | And there um- | 984.7592 |
971 | | 985.2208 | That was a- | 985.6824 |
973 | | 985.9611 | I think there was a Woolworth down there I think. | 988.5032 |
975 | | 989.5888 | And then you could go to the little carry outs and get | 991.9890 |
977 | | 992.1662 | some good | 992.5439 |
979 | | 992.9729 | steak and cheese sandwiches <laugh> | 995.1318 |
981 | | 995.5795 | and fish sandwiches. | 996.9171 |
983 | | 997.3887 | So I liked that, and then | 998.4904 |
985 | | 998.5999 | before you get to H Street, the- uh, right down Constitution Avenue | 1001.8991 |
987 | | 1002.6426 | and Twelfth Street was a little | 1003.9657 |
989 | | 1004.1103 | Jewish Delicatessen. | 1005.3832 |
991 | | 1005.4812 | Used to | 1005.8262 |
993 | | 1005.9801 | go there and get | 1006.6562 |
995 | | 1007.0945 | good cheese and good | 1008.4328 |
997 | | 1008.6519 | half smokes. <laugh> | 1009.9249 |
998 | DCB_int_01 | 1010.0730 | Mm. | 1010.3807 |
999 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1010.5253 | And uh, | 1011.2060 |
1001 | | 1012.1106 | my older sister, /??/, they used to send me | 1015.1462 |
1003 | | 1015.7652 | and her children | 1016.8097 |
1005 | | 1017.1314 | up to that little store | 1018.3578 |
1007 | | 1018.4883 | and to | 1018.7495 |
1009 | | 1019.0059 | get her RC sodas | 1020.6312 |
1011 | | 1021.1975 | and | 1021.5834 |
1013 | | 1021.7839 | cheese. <laugh> [Cheese and crackers- /C/- Yup.] | 1025.3556 |
1014 | DCB_int_01 | 1023.4625 | [I remember RC sodas.] | 1025.2252 |
1015 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1026.0737 | So we had to go up there and the- | 1027.4353 |
1017 | | 1027.6346 | that- | 1027.8165 |
1019 | | 1027.9098 | t- I'll never forget the day | 1029.2713 |
1021 | | 1029.7283 | that we- I was coming back. I had her RC in a bag, a paper bag. | 1033.5823 |
1023 | | 1034.1802 | And if- | 1034.6418 |
1025 | | 1034.8843 | uh- walking down the street- | 1036.0873 |
1027 | | 1036.9873 | I used to walk barefoot in the street, | 1038.7409 |
1029 | | 1038.8478 | so that tell you something about that part of the city, was- street was | 1042.2844 |
1031 | | 1042.6142 | not dirty. It was on- | 1043.6308 |
1033 | | 1043.9292 | no trash and junk all over the street, so- | 1045.9144 |
1035 | | 1046.3294 | so I barefoot, | 1047.1268 |
1037 | | 1047.6071 | and I was | 1048.0733 |
1039 | | 1048.2086 | coming back, I dropped that bottle, slid out of the bag. | 1050.7109 |
1041 | | 1051.8538 | And so I didn't know, and I- I- You know I said, oh man, she gonna kill me, blah blah blah. I kept- I kept walking, never did really | 1057.9156 |
1043 | | 1058.1616 | looked down and to see that | 1059.5045 |
1045 | | 1059.9521 | glass had popped up on my leg and had cut my leg. | 1062.4514 |
1047 | | 1063.3700 | And I- To this day, I have a- like, a | 1065.2527 |
1049 | | 1065.4765 | half moon shaped scar on my leg from that (laughing) | 1067.8499 |
1051 | | 1068.1064 | RC soda. <laugh> | 1069.9948 |
1053 | | 1070.5626 | So (laughing), | 1071.1734 |
1055 | | 1071.5511 | that's a memoir I kept <laugh> from [that day (laughing).] | 1074.3022 |
1056 | DCB_int_01 | 1073.5981 | [<laugh>] | 1075.0576 |
1057 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1074.7405 | [But] she- she was /always/- | 1076.4134 |
1058 | | 1076.5253 | /she just/ send me- us up to that store to get that stuff for her, | 1079.9478 |
1060 | | 1080.0411 | so. | 1080.4281 |
1062 | | 1081.2022 | I liked- | 1081.7197 |
1064 | | 1081.9517 | that- | 1082.1149 |
1066 | | 1082.2968 | that was my favorite place | 1083.5185 |
1068 | | 1083.6910 | that- | 1083.8775 |
1070 | | 1084.0314 | to live. I guess maybe cause | 1085.5235 |
1072 | | 1085.8872 | it was my dad was still living, and | 1087.6964 |
1074 | | 1088.3854 | you know, I was- so loved him, so uh, he made it | 1091.1834 |
1076 | | 1091.3137 | good anyway. | 1092.1297 |
1078 | | 1092.2416 | Wherever we were, he made it good. | 1093.6545 |
1080 | | 1093.7885 | [<laugh>] | 1094.7211 |
1081 | DCB_int_01 | 1094.1336 | [So] | 1094.4507 |
1083 | | 1094.5999 | before I go back to the other question- | 1095.9521 |
1084 | | 1096.0500 | Now H Street- | 1096.7635 |
1085 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1097.1505 | [Mm-hm.] | 1097.5095 |
1086 | DCB_int_01 | 1097.1505 | [You know], | 1097.5468 |
1087 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1097.6447 | [Mm-hm.] | 1098.3162 |
1088 | DCB_int_01 | 1097.6494 | [now it's different.] | 1098.5447 |
1089 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1098.5540 | [Mm.] | 1099.0576 |
1090 | DCB_int_01 | 1098.9457 | [but] | 1099.1695 |
1091 | | 1099.9482 | what did you think when you saw kind of H Street just kind of go down? Like it- | 1103.4722 |
1093 | | 1103.6074 | it went way down. | 1104.6426 |
1094 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1104.6519 | Yeah, it- it's- it was painful. It hurt | 1107.3879 |
1096 | | 1107.8262 | to see | 1108.3811 |
1098 | | 1109.3603 | you know, | 1109.7893 |
1100 | | 1110.4234 | a place where- | 1111.4213 |
1102 | | 1111.9844 | Like, all the places that you loved to go and- and- and- | 1114.8427 |
1104 | | 1115.0992 | and visited and | 1115.9432 |
1106 | | 1116.5493 | buy what you wanted to buy and stuff like that. | 1118.7584 |
1108 | | 1119.1734 | Then it was gone. | 1120.1853 |
1110 | | 1120.2925 | It was trashed and | 1121.6727 |
1112 | | 1122.1950 | messed up. It- it hurt. | 1123.5659 |
1114 | | 1124.4973 | It- To me it was- For me, it was painful | 1126.5303 |
1116 | | 1127.1318 | to see it go down, | 1128.0084 |
1118 | | 1128.3442 | and stay down so long. | 1129.6265 |
1119 | DCB_int_01 | 1130.1802 | It was a long [time], | 1130.9869 |
1120 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1130.7771 | [Mm-hm.] | 1131.3319 |
1121 | DCB_int_01 | 1131.3506 | until- | 1131.8775 |
1123 | | 1132.1759 | I would say, what? The [last three, four years, if] [that?] | 1134.9084 |
1124 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1133.0712 | [Just recently, yeah.] | 1134.5354 |
1126 | | 1134.7778 | [Just-] Mm. | 1135.4073 |

1128 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1135.6440 | [Just recently.] | 1136.5766 |
1129 | DCB_int_01 | 1138.7914 | How do you feel about that | 1140.2789 |
1131 | | 1140.4468 | area- Cause that's a big up and coming area [now.] | 1142.4880 |
1132 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1142.3014 | [Mm-huh.] It is. [It is.] | 1143.6257 |
1133 | DCB_int_01 | 1143.3646 | [And so] what do you- How do feel about that? | 1145.1318 |
1134 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1145.1551 | Uh, | 1145.6214 |
1136 | | 1145.8639 | well I'm- I'm glad that they're | 1147.3700 |
1138 | | 1147.6265 | re- getting it- renewing it, and | 1149.4905 |
1140 | | 1149.9148 | that it's coming up. | 1150.6422 |
1142 | | 1151.0292 | <clears throat> | 1151.4023 |
1144 | | 1151.7940 | I think um- | 1152.6079 |
1146 | | 1154.0357 | <ts> | 1154.2268 |
1148 | | 1154.4833 | I haven't been down there re- real recently, so I'm not sure. But I- I'm s- I think it's a lot of um, | 1159.3094 |
1150 | | 1160.4880 | s- | 1160.6092 |
1152 | | 1160.8097 | uh- t- different stores or | 1162.4464 |
1154 | | 1162.7075 | I'm not sure exactly what's down there. I just know they | 1164.7685 |
1156 | | 1165.1602 | fixing it up. | 1165.7850 |
1158 | | 1166.5532 | But [uh-] | 1166.9542 |
1159 | DCB_int_01 | 1166.8330 | [Right] now, it's a lot of um- There are some stores, [but it's a lot] of restaurants, [kind of] some of these little trendy | 1172.7444 |

1162 | | 1171.3747 | [Mm.] | 1171.5985 |
1163 | | 1173.0009 | Mm-hm. | 1173.3366 |
1164 | DCB_int_01 | 1173.4392 | places. Uh- you know, gentrification is- is running through the city, | 1176.8011 |
1166 | | 1177.0949 | [and um], | 1178.0182 |
1167 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1177.2022 | [Mm-hm.] | 1177.6591 |
1168 | DCB_int_01 | 1178.4693 | <ts> | 1178.5719 |
1170 | | 1179.1175 | I think that that's where you're seeing um, a lot of these | 1182.6333 |
1172 | | 1183.5006 | um- | 1183.8550 |
1174 | | 1184.1243 | Black businesses are [coming back.] | 1185.5651 |
1175 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1184.9776 | [Mm-mm.] Mm-hm. | 1186.0640 |
1176 | DCB_int_01 | 1186.3671 | Um, | 1187.2717 |
1178 | | 1187.7427 | and it's a lot of restaurants. [It's also a lot of] little like, dives though. It's not like these nice fancy you know, [seven course] meals. [It's a lot] of- | 1195.3782 |
1179 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1189.3782 | [Restaurants.] | 1190.0590 |
1181 | | 1193.5049 | [Mm-hm.] | 1193.8732 |
1183 | | 1194.7685 | [Mm-hm.] | 1195.1602 |
1184 | DCB_int_01 | 1195.6766 | There's like a wonderful oyster bar down there [but if you walk] up to the door, it looks so rundown. | 1200.3022 |
1185 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1197.8962 | [Mm-hm.] | 1198.3495 |
1186 | | 1200.4234 | [Mm-hm.] | 1200.8105 |
1187 | DCB_int_01 | 1200.6426 | [And you] walk in, and it's a whole different [world. So they're still] | 1203.5744 |
1188 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1202.5066 | [Different world.] | 1203.3226 |
1190 | | 1203.4392 | [Mm-hm.] | 1203.9428 |
1191 | DCB_int_01 | 1204.8800 | doing some- It's still undergoing some [changing- can most] definitely [see the difference.] But you tell /RD-NAME-2/ to take you over there one day. | 1211.0945 |
1192 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1207.0518 | [I see.] | 1207.6533 |
1194 | | 1208.4320 | [Mm-hm.] | 1208.9589 |
1196 | | 1211.0945 | Okay, yeah [cause we-] | 1212.1437 |
1197 | DCB_int_01 | 1211.6028 | [Y'all ride] through. | 1212.4654 |
1198 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1212.8851 | We had talked about d- doing that, and- and especially at U Street | 1216.4044 |
1199 | DCB_int_01 | 1216.7635 | [Mm.] | 1217.0759 |
1200 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1216.8707 | [because] I was more- | 1217.8266 |
1201 | | 1218.6473 | As- as a older person, I was more familiar with U Street | 1221.7050 |
1203 | | 1221.9474 | than I was Seventh- | 1222.9546 |
1205 | | 1223.0992 | I mean uh, H. | 1223.9851 |
1206 | DCB_int_01 | 1224.2229 | Mm. | 1224.4981 |
1207 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1224.4747 | H was when I was a younger ch- was like, a child really. | 1227.3413 |
1208 | | 1228.0314 | <clears throat> Now, | 1228.7028 |
1210 | | 1228.8567 | cause when we moved from that area, | 1230.3535 |
1212 | | 1230.7965 | I was | 1231.3094 |
1214 | | 1231.5507 | ten. I was eleven. | 1232.6558 |
1216 | | 1233.2713 | Yeah, eleven. | 1233.9055 |
1218 | | 1234.5256 | So but I- When I went | 1235.7800 |
1220 | | 1235.9572 | to H Street, it was with- | 1237.1928 |
1222 | | 1237.2814 | usually with my sisters or my mother or whatever | 1239.6210 |
1224 | | 1239.8262 | cause we- | 1240.1060 |
1226 | | 1240.6236 | we would go to the different stores down there. | 1242.2556 |
1228 | | 1242.7359 | But U Street I remember | 1244.3994 |
1230 | | 1245.5324 | <ts> | 1245.6071 |
1232 | | 1245.6956 | as in /RD-SCHOOL-2/ high school, we would go down- we would | 1247.8313 |
1234 | | 1248.1810 | sneak out and go to Ben's Chili Bowl and | 1250.2641 |
1236 | | 1250.3854 | t- you know. | 1250.9682 |
1238 | | 1251.4392 | So | 1251.8728 |
1240 | | 1252.1946 | and- and come on down to the Florida Avenue Grill right below [um], | 1256.1009 |
1241 | DCB_int_01 | 1255.7419 | [Mm-hm.] | 1256.1243 |
1242 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1256.3900 | /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 1256.9636 |
1244 | | 1257.5604 | And so I- <clears throat> I remember those places | 1259.9758 |
1246 | | 1260.8897 | more than I do s- | 1261.7104 |
1248 | | 1261.9191 | H Street. | 1262.4087 |
1249 | DCB_int_01 | 1262.8470 | What was the experience on U Street? | 1264.3671 |
1251 | | 1264.4930 | That was one of the very first places I did research was U Street. | 1267.2534 |
1252 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1267.3001 | Mm-hm. | 1267.6964 |
1254 | | 1268.5439 | Um, | 1269.0522 |
1256 | | 1269.5045 | most of my experience was before the riots | 1272.0038 |
1258 | | 1272.3955 | in- | 1272.7918 |
1260 | | 1273.6346 | Well all of it r- actually. | 1275.1594 |
1262 | | 1275.7190 | And like I say, we would go to t- | 1277.2297 |
1264 | | 1277.4302 | Ben's Chili Bowl. We'd go to the theaters there, the Booker T | 1280.4507 |
1266 | | 1280.8983 | and the Lincoln Theatre. | 1282.3531 |
1268 | | 1282.9064 | And we'd go there, u- those places. | 1284.7498 |
1270 | | 1285.2441 | Um, | 1285.7570 |
1272 | | 1287.0895 | uh- uh, | 1287.9894 |
1274 | | 1288.3951 | my fath- my stepfather had a friend that had um, | 1291.1462 |
1276 | | 1291.6918 | a photography place there called Scurlock. /I don't know if that is- was in your/ | 1295.3976 |
1278 | | 1295.6820 | s- | 1295.8173 |
1280 | | 1296.3815 | research? | 1296.9597 |
1281 | DCB_int_01 | 1297.2534 | [/Mm-mm/.] | 1297.4819 |
1282 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1297.2721 | [Sc-] | 1297.5332 |
1283 | | 1297.6545 | He was a black uh, | 1298.7864 |
1285 | | 1299.4672 | photographer, | 1300.2086 |
1287 | | 1300.7215 | very- | 1301.0759 |
1289 | | 1301.2764 | very big I think I've heard, | 1302.8851 |
1291 | | 1302.9690 | that | 1303.2115 |
1293 | | 1303.4388 | you know, a lot of people used his service so. | 1305.5324 |
1295 | | 1306.2086 | I remember going | 1307.1714 |
1297 | | 1307.4582 | to that studio to have pictures taken. I remember um, | 1310.5206 |
1299 | | 1311.6677 | uh, the um, | 1312.6049 |
1301 | | 1313.7054 | /started/- | 1314.1763 |
1303 | | 1314.3488 | No um- | 1314.9084 |
1305 | | 1315.8445 | What's the Mason's | 1316.8284 |
1307 | | 1316.9822 | um- | 1317.2387 |
1309 | | 1319.4023 | They had a place down there. | 1320.6939 |
1311 | | 1320.8991 | I think they still did too. | 1322.1989 |
1313 | | 1323.2620 | Uh- | 1323.6257 |
1314 | DCB_int_01 | 1323.9661 | On U Street? | 1324.5490 |
1315 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1324.9267 | Mm-hm. | 1325.3230 |
1317 | | 1326.5214 | Masonic Temple, | 1327.4481 |
1318 | DCB_int_01 | 1327.5461 | [Mm-hm.] | 1328.0030 |
1319 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1327.6300 | [the uh-huh] Yeah. | 1328.5719 |
1320 | | 1329.1314 | And my stepfather was a | 1330.4184 |
1322 | | 1330.5863 | thirty third degree Mason. | 1332.3255 |
1324 | | 1333.0250 | And so we went there for their activities and | 1335.6630 |
1326 | | 1335.9521 | /it was/ so- | 1336.4650 |
1328 | | 1337.6587 | It was mainly the kind of places I remember on from U Street. | 1340.7953 |
1329 | DCB_int_01 | 1341.2760 | Do you remember- | 1342.2272 |
1331 | | 1342.8194 | Cause I've- I've never | 1343.7567 |
1333 | | 1343.8965 | quite got the story, and maybe you can give it to me. | 1346.4227 |
1335 | | 1347.9148 | After the riots, I know Ben's was one of the only places that didn't get | 1351.7792 |
1337 | | 1351.9331 | destroyed. [Do you remember] that? | 1353.9941 |
1338 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1352.9076 | [Mm, mm, mm.] | 1353.4812 |
1339 | | 1354.2832 | I do. | 1354.7168 |
1341 | | 1354.8474 | I remember that. | 1355.5655 |
1343 | | 1356.7079 | That- You m- Do I remember that it didn't get [destroyed?] | 1359.0848 |
1344 | DCB_int_01 | 1358.8750 | [Mm-hm.] | 1359.3599 |
1345 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1359.4065 | Uh-huh, I do remember [that.] | 1360.6469 |
1346 | DCB_int_01 | 1360.4790 | [And] what- | 1360.9313 |
1347 | | 1361.1831 | Why? | 1361.5095 |
1349 | | 1361.6867 | Why do you think that was the case? | 1363.2943 |
1350 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1364.9263 | [/<yawn>/] | 1365.5324 |
1351 | DCB_int_01 | 1364.9263 | [From your opinion] or from what you saw? | 1367.1289 |
1352 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1368.1110 | I think | 1368.6566 |
1354 | | 1369.0110 | maybe- I think a big part of it was the relationship that the- | 1372.3391 |
1356 | | 1372.5723 | the owners had built up with the community there. | 1375.1369 |
1358 | | 1375.7512 | I think um- | 1376.5765 |
1360 | | 1378.0780 | I don't know if things happened- if- if | 1380.3955 |
1362 | | 1380.5820 | people came in | 1381.5507 |
1364 | | 1381.9564 | that maybe couldn't afford food and was given food. | 1384.6657 |
1366 | | 1384.7448 | That may have happened. I don't know, | 1386.2836 |
1368 | | 1386.7219 | but I think that | 1387.4633 |
1370 | | 1387.9098 | those um- | 1388.6092 |
1372 | | 1389.0848 | Cause it- You know, you could go in there and they knew who you were. | 1391.5795 |
1374 | | 1392.5400 | And y- y- I- I think they built up a good relationship with- | 1395.4019 |
1376 | | 1395.5837 | t- with the uh, community. | 1396.9500 |
1377 | DCB_int_01 | 1397.5888 | Mm. | 1398.0877 |
1378 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1398.2276 | I think that's a big chunk of it. | 1399.5612 |
1380 | | 1400.0263 | And they, <clears throat> provided a good service, | 1402.2432 |
1382 | | 1402.3158 | you know. | 1402.7168 |
1384 | | 1404.0271 | But some of the other places did too, so why did- | 1406.3714 |
1386 | | 1406.9263 | I'm not really sure why they chose not to- | 1409.0153 |
1388 | | 1409.1645 | didn't choose to tear that up | 1410.3162 |
1390 | | 1410.5493 | too. | 1410.7872 |
1391 | DCB_int_01 | 1412.0496 | Let me ask you this, what do you feel like, | 1414.1340 |
1393 | | 1414.2972 | <clears throat> | 1414.7168 |
1395 | | 1415.0712 | with so many | 1415.9432 |
1397 | | 1416.0877 | people- Or how do you feel that so many people | 1418.4926 |
1399 | | 1419.2573 | being forced out of their homes, | 1421.2437 |
1401 | | 1422.0224 | um- | 1422.5540 |
1403 | | 1424.7864 | In- in trying to clean up the city, | 1426.3904 |
1405 | | 1426.7495 | a lot of people are being forced out | 1428.3582 |
1407 | | 1429.0250 | um, because they can't afford to live in the city. | 1430.9263 |
1409 | | 1431.3832 | But the city is kind of getting this facelift, so | 1433.7435 |
1411 | | 1434.5960 | talk about how you feel about the city getting a facelift, but also people being forced out. Cause it's like a good bad thing happening at the same time. | 1441.6311 |
1412 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1441.5655 | Mm-hm. | 1442.3201 |

1423 | | 1448.7817 | uh, | 1449.1175 |
1425 | | 1449.6863 | facelifting | 1450.6282 |
1427 | | 1450.8940 | the city | 1451.4380 |

1431 | | 1453.7197 | people that can't afford it. | 1454.9309 |
1433 | | 1455.7376 | I mean, it's- it- To m- It- It seems like to me that they're definitely | 1458.8804 |
1435 | | 1459.9797 | steering toward | 1460.9542 |
1437 | | 1461.7003 | the high high | 1462.9043 |
1439 | | 1463.1458 | high | 1463.6401 |
1441 | | 1463.7567 | end, | 1464.0924 |
1443 | | 1464.2136 | the highest end, you know. | 1465.4913 |
1445 | | 1465.8165 | You got to have- make big /buck/- | 1467.1280 |
1447 | | 1467.2713 | bucks to live | 1468.1233 |
1449 | | 1468.2552 | in those condominiums, | 1469.8499 |
1451 | | 1470.7172 | and um, | 1471.4027 |
1453 | | 1472.0869 | even t- t- looking at the office places and stuff, they just | 1475.2484 |
1455 | | 1475.4069 | probably big | 1475.9572 |
1457 | | 1476.1623 | paying jobs | 1477.1975 |
1459 | | 1477.5472 | in those places, you know. | 1478.7957 |
1461 | | 1479.2760 | You gotta have some kind of education. | 1480.9826 |
1463 | | 1481.1924 | Y- Degrees nowadays, a high school diploma don't get it. | 1484.2781 |
1465 | | 1484.5439 | /Well I don't feel like something sliding out/. | 1485.7749 |
1467 | | 1486.2645 | A [high school] diploma doesn't get it, | 1487.8686 |
1468 | DCB_int_01 | 1486.5256 | [/Right/.] | 1486.8474 |
1469 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1487.9572 | so you need degrees to get- you can get the jobs that are in the city [down there, I] think. | 1493.1645 |
1470 | DCB_int_01 | 1492.1573 | [/Mm-hm/.] | 1492.5676 |
1471 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1493.6914 | And so | 1494.2696 |
1473 | | 1496.9496 | it's- it's unfortunate that we're being | 1499.2204 |
1475 | | 1499.6308 | pushed out. | 1500.1996 |
1477 | | 1502.0123 | Um, | 1502.3527 |
1479 | | 1502.8750 | I say we, but I- I- I feel like it's we. | 1505.2950 |
1481 | | 1505.9805 | It's directed toward | 1507.1369 |
1483 | | 1507.9424 | low income black people. | 1509.1221 |
1485 | | 1509.8029 | And they- they're not building it up for low income black people. | 1512.5856 |
1487 | | 1513.9199 | For black people, unless you have a lot of money. There are a lot of us that do have a lot of money, but | 1518.3530 |
1489 | | 1520.0683 | it's ch- it's definitely shifting | 1521.7842 |
1491 | | 1521.9148 | <laugh> | 1522.3205 |
1493 | | 1523.5049 | t- all the way- | 1524.3069 |
1495 | | 1524.7079 | all the way around, it's shifting. | 1526.1441 |
1496 | DCB_int_01 | 1526.5393 | Mm-hm. | 1526.9542 |
1497 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1527.1454 | [Mm.] | 1527.6863 |
1498 | DCB_int_01 | 1527.1501 | [Especially] like, you can see most definitely in- | 1529.2764 |
1499 | | 1529.6447 | on the other side of the river. | 1531.2068 |
1500 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1531.4493 | Mm-hm. | 1531.9762 |
1501 | DCB_int_01 | 1532.0357 | And so now we're starting to see it in | 1533.9474 |
1503 | | 1535.1225 | the Northeast, | 1535.9805 |
1504 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1535.9665 | Mm-hm. | 1536.3395 |
1505 | DCB_int_01 | 1536.4001 | [Southeast.] | 1537.3933 |
1506 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1536.7498 | [Southeast.] Yeah. | 1537.7850 |
1507 | DCB_int_01 | 1538.3201 | And I don't know how that's gonna affect- | 1540.4184 |
1508 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1540.3298 | Yeah. | 1540.7588 |
1509 | | 1540.8940 | It's l- it- it's like it's a takeover. [<laugh>] | 1543.7384 |
1510 | DCB_int_01 | 1543.2208 | [Mm.] | 1543.6498 |
1511 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1543.8305 | /So/ it's like, | 1544.5019 |
1513 | | 1545.1408 | well you know, to come to Southeast, | 1547.3510 |
1515 | | 1547.4722 | cause | 1547.7940 |
1517 | | 1547.9572 | uh- | 1548.1250 |
1519 | | 1548.2323 | they not building those places up | 1550.0077 |
1521 | | 1551.2713 | for us to come- | 1552.1806 |
1523 | | 1552.3112 | to- to remain in 'em, | 1553.3836 |
1525 | | 1553.5049 | you know? | 1553.9338 |
1527 | | 1554.4095 | So it's- | 1554.9410 |
1529 | | 1555.6171 | it's- | 1555.8689 |
1531 | | 1556.6372 | it's gonna be all- predominantly white | 1558.4790 |
1533 | | 1559.6168 | in a matter of years. | 1560.7079 |
1535 | | 1561.5239 | [/And so that's-/] | 1562.0042 |
1536 | DCB_int_01 | 1561.6393 | [What do you-] | 1561.9890 |
1537 | | 1562.1895 | What do you think about the violence that's going on? Like, | 1564.6236 |
1539 | | 1564.8520 | /espe-/ I know, | 1565.7660 |
1541 | | 1566.1577 | um, | 1566.5074 |
1543 | | 1567.2161 | when I've talked to some people, they talk about the violence they see. | 1570.0360 |
1545 | | 1570.5816 | Do you feel like- And I know, /RD-NAME-2/ lives in DC, | 1573.5880 |
1547 | | 1574.4134 | do you feel like you see a lot of violence? Or do you feel like, | 1576.7774 |
1549 | | 1576.9173 | he's in a lot of violence, do you worry about [that?] | 1579.2441 |
1550 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1579.0716 | [Oh] Lord, yes. Every day, | 1580.7118 |
1551 | | 1581.1548 | I pray for him. | 1582.0827 |
1553 | | 1582.9220 | I pray for that whole | 1584.3908 |
1555 | | 1584.9737 | /RD-WORK-3/, | 1585.7617 |
1557 | | 1585.8725 | the whole | 1586.3900 |
1559 | | 1586.6512 | /RD-WORK-1/. | 1587.0941 |
1561 | | 1587.9847 | You know, that /God v- could-/ cause | 1589.5235 |
1563 | | 1590.5447 | people today are so- | 1592.0776 |
1565 | | 1593.2853 | They a- They don't have any | 1594.8847 |
1567 | | 1595.3463 | s- sense of- of humanity. No um- | 1598.0928 |
1569 | | 1598.5532 | No- They don't care about people. They don't care about themselves | 1601.7567 |
1571 | | 1601.8639 | to do the things that they're doing. | 1603.2907 |
1573 | | 1603.4353 | I don't think. | 1604.2035 |
1575 | | 1604.8190 | And so yes, I worry about him every day | 1607.6214 |
1577 | | 1607.8033 | cause he's in the heart of it. | 1609.0902 |
1579 | | 1610.3854 | He's | 1610.6418 |
1581 | | 1610.7631 | in the heart of it (laughing), | 1611.7190 |
1583 | | 1612.1899 | and I- I just pray, Lord, let him- | 1614.1437 |
1585 | | 1614.4561 | let something come where he can | 1615.8037 |
1587 | | 1616.3994 | at least move away from some- I know he wants to stay in close to his job, bu | 1620.8588 |
1589 | | 1621.7151 | I don't know. | 1622.1907 |
1591 | | 1622.8796 | So, | 1623.1641 |
1593 | | 1623.9195 | but the- the- the violence now, | 1625.7567 |
1595 | | 1626.2276 | especially here in the last few | 1628.1196 |
1597 | | 1628.4367 | months, | 1629.0475 |
1599 | | 1629.2620 | weeks? | 1629.7796 |
1601 | | 1632.4794 | And I hate 'em talk- You know, hear 'em on the news, and they talking about | 1636.0547 |
1603 | | 1636.1293 | /under/ the violence and what's causing it. | 1637.9945 |
1605 | | 1638.5307 | And then someone- | 1639.2255 |
1607 | | 1639.3793 | I've heard somebody say, | 1640.6045 |
1609 | | 1640.7398 | which, | 1641.0335 |
1611 | | 1641.1781 | t- is kind of close to what I feel- that right now, | 1643.5981 |
1613 | | 1643.9991 | after all of these um, | 1645.3747 |
1615 | | 1645.9004 | <ts> | 1645.9844 |
1617 | | 1646.5299 | police attacks on young black men, | 1648.4277 |
1619 | | 1649.4676 | and | 1649.8546 |
1621 | | 1650.8151 | that the police are getting | 1652.0123 |
1623 | | 1652.1429 | you know, | 1652.5859 |
1625 | | 1652.9123 | really getting to see what they're doing, | 1654.9127 |
1627 | | 1655.0339 | is coming out. | 1655.8452 |
1629 | | 1656.9224 | And so now maybe the police are kind of pulling back and saying, | 1660.1246 |
1631 | | 1660.6702 | w- You know, we don't wanna do something that's gonna get us | 1662.9364 |
1633 | | 1663.0529 | caught up in anything. | 1664.2781 |
1634 | DCB_int_01 | 1664.2968 | /Right/. | 1664.6418 |
1635 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1664.7211 | And so we'll just | 1665.9288 |
1637 | | 1666.2132 | let them- | 1666.9080 |
1639 | | 1667.1318 | <laugh> It's black on black, let 'em- lot of it is black on black. | 1670.1569 |
1641 | | 1670.7071 | Let him kill hisself. Hey. | 1671.8449 |
1643 | | 1673.2158 | And so | 1673.7100 |
1645 | | 1674.2136 | by them pulling back, then- then | 1675.9377 |
1647 | | 1676.0496 | poor little crazy, | 1676.9542 |
1649 | | 1677.5185 | young folk- or not- not just young folk cause the last | 1680.3535 |
1651 | | 1680.4607 | few things I've hard standing out uh, about | 1683.0755 |
1653 | | 1683.5324 | somebody shooting all- the people went in the theater shooting up some- They were in their fifties, so you can't put it all on [young people.] | 1689.0941 |
1654 | DCB_int_01 | 1688.3014 | [Just young people.] | 1689.1361 |
1655 | | 1689.2620 | Yeah. | 1689.5231 |
1656 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1689.5884 | You- And so it says like, people just | 1691.5002 |
1658 | | 1691.8219 | giving up. They don't care. | 1692.9877 |
1660 | | 1693.5227 | You know, | 1693.8538 |
1662 | | 1693.9284 | if the police gonna pull back, hey, yeah, we gonna go out and do what we wanna do. | 1697.0945 |
1664 | | 1697.7660 | That's what I think some people may be thinking. | 1700.0275 |
1665 | DCB_int_01 | 1700.3341 | Mm-hm. | 1700.8141 |
1666 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 1700.8237 | And so that's- | 1701.4951 |
1668 | | 1702.4231 | you know, they- | 1702.9500 |
1670 | | 1704.4607 | Something is missing up here anyway, and so now this is just kicking 'em over the edge. | 1708.7079 |
1672 | | 1709.7893 | And it's- it's- | 1710.8478 |
1674 | | 1711.2115 | it's- it's sad. It's scary. | 1713.3739 |
1676 | | 1714.7821 | It's- it's unfortunate. | 1715.8686 |
1678 | | 1716.1763 | And I just hate to see so many of our young folks | 1719.1827 |
1680 | | 1719.3180 | caught up in all of this. | 1720.5629 |
1681 | DCB_int_01 | 1720.8147 | Yeah. | 1721.2111 |
1683 | | 1721.3323 | It's- it's- | 1722.1483 |

1691 | | 1731.9148 | you know- | 1732.2785 |
1693 | | 1732.8381 | I didn't grow up with a lot of money, but I can't imagine just | 1735.6265 |
1695 | | 1736.3807 | somebody just got murdered next door to me. | 1738.1876 |
1697 | | 1738.3951 | Like I can't imagine- [Or] while I'm | 1740.1437 |

1729 | | 1764.0458 | Only by God's Grace cause I cannot- | 1766.0601 |
1731 | | 1767.2247 | I was just shaken up listening, | 1768.8940 |
1733 | | 1769.7147 | and I can only imagine like, | 1771.4621 |
1735 | | 1772.3434 | what it's like to live and walk in that /hood/. You know, like, the- | 1775.1542 |

1758 | | 1805.9292 | [escalate it and hurt other people] [or do you-] | 1808.1394 |

2049 | | 2107.9779 | benches and things | 2108.9711 |

2077 | DCB_int_01 | 2136.4578 | it didn't end with Martin Luther King. | 2138.5608 |

2187 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 2253.2280 | Mm. | 2253.4658 |
2189 | | 2257.8851 | uh (sighing), I would- /I'm gonna say/- I don't know. | 2260.1373 |

2203 | | 2270.2815 | to me, to anything. You should- | 2271.6197 |
2205 | | 2271.7363 | You got to always keep a open mind, | 2273.4149 |
2207 | | 2274.1563 | and ask God to give you- | 2275.6147 |
2209 | | 2275.7779 | to touch your heart, | 2276.7198 |
2211 | | 2276.8737 | your spirit. /Have to have this/ open | 2278.8134 |

2221 | | 2285.0046 | And a- | 2285.3030 |
2223 | | 2285.5781 | And always, | 2286.5154 |
2225 | | 2287.1018 | you know, I- Like I ask God to open- | 2289.0415 |
2227 | | 2289.2700 | Let me see | 2290.1280 |
2229 | | 2290.5243 | through my spirit, through my heart. | 2292.3415 |
2231 | | 2292.4688 | Let me see | 2293.1076 |
2233 | | 2293.4328 | like you see. | 2294.8792 |
2235 | | 2295.8342 | You know, | 2296.1280 |
2237 | | 2296.2679 | people. | 2296.7948 |
2239 | | 2297.2890 | And so that I will have a love for life and a love for | 2299.9970 |
2241 | | 2300.0903 | people. | 2300.5053 |
2243 | | 2300.9762 | And I don't- | 2301.3866 |
2245 | | 2301.4985 | So you don't wanna hurt people. You wouldn't wanna hurt anybody. | 2304.2076 |
2247 | | 2304.6413 | So | 2305.0190 |
2249 | | 2305.5074 | I guess it's s- it's all about love, | 2307.5948 |
2251 | | 2308.2259 | and that's what the world need. We got to get back to loving each other | 2311.7779 |
2253 | | 2312.2488 | and respecting each other | 2313.6803 |
2255 | | 2314.1746 | and looking at people like, | 2315.6061 |
2257 | | 2316.0211 | you know- | 2316.4221 |
2259 | | 2317.7452 | Put yourself in their place. Would- | 2319.3166 |
2261 | | 2319.5544 | Would I wanna deal with this? Would I wanna | 2321.2937 |
2263 | | 2321.6061 | receive this from somebody? | 2323.0283 |
2265 | | 2323.6380 | So why am I gonna give that to somebody? If I don't wanna get bashed in the head, why am I gonna bash somebody in the head? | 2328.9515 |
2267 | | 2329.4981 | You know? | 2329.7779 |
2269 | | 2330.1136 | We /got/- | 2330.5239 |
2271 | | 2330.9669 | Try to love people. That's what I would- | 2332.7202 |
2273 | | 2332.9347 | That's my advice. | 2334.0538 |
2275 | | 2334.2776 | Try to | 2334.6413 |
2277 | | 2335.6893 | open your spirit up | 2336.8084 |
2279 | | 2337.6197 | and your heart up | 2338.4637 |
2281 | | 2338.6409 | t- | 2338.7015 |
2283 | | 2339.0279 | t- | 2339.2004 |
2285 | | 2339.3497 | to other people and to life. | 2340.9071 |
2287 | | 2342.3094 | And give | 2343.0229 |
2289 | | 2343.9601 | so that you can get back- | 2344.9813 |
2291 | | 2345.2191 | and g- | 2345.5222 |
2293 | | 2345.6621 | get back what you give. | 2346.9572 |
2294 | DCB_int_01 | 2347.4934 | That is- | 2348.0670 |
2296 | | 2348.4680 | That is good advice [because I] think if we- If we adopted that principle, | 2352.2893 |
2297 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 2349.5778 | [<laugh>] | 2349.9928 |
2298 | DCB_int_01 | 2352.7672 | we'd have a much better world, but I [think the problem is] we don't- | 2355.4845 |
2299 | DCB_se2_ag4_f_03 | 2354.3980 | [Uh-huh.] | 2355.0369 |
2300 | | 2355.7410 | We don't. [That's right.] | 2356.8834 |
2301 | DCB_int_01 | 2356.2958 | [People think] about themselves. They don't think about | 2358.2496 |
2302 | | 2358.7625 | each other. | 2359.2510 |
