469 557.2326Uh, my mother w- There was another neighborhood here in DC that was a black561.1763 
471 562.0156upper middle class to upper-563.4191 
473 563.7502upper class neighborhood,565.0978 
475 565.6340which was-566.3428 
477 566.6354that we called the Gold Coast,568.1788 
479 569.5217which is-570.0020 
481 570.1838which was on Sixth-571.2004 
483 571.3822in the Sixth-572.1516 
485 572.2717off of Sixteenth Street,573.6239 
487 574.0576which were primarily- Now,575.4005 
489 575.4937I don't know if they're- I would577.0372 
491 578.3509pro- I would-579.0830 
493 579.5120Because I ended up going to /RD-SCHOOL-2/.581.0274 
495 581.8761And582.4869 
497 582.6222that was the area for584.5000 
499 585.7918that.586.0482 
501 586.6218I mean that was part of their587.7922 
503 587.9693area, so I met a lot of those589.8858 
505 590.2169black kids590.9525 
507 591.6379that grew up592.4026 
509 592.7663on- in the Gold Coast.593.8621 
511 594.1699And I594.8740 
513 595.9919would-596.4022 
515 597.0457I would guess that,598.3886 
517 598.8922without knowing-599.8621 
519 601.2516Cause I certainly didn't- The kids that I met up there,603.3395 
521 603.8664none of their parent-604.7290 
523 604.8782All of their parents were606.1419

535DCB_se3_ag4_f_02615.4560So616.2114
537 617.0927m- And my father made a conscious decision-619.5874 
539 619.9359Because my mother wanted to live up there.621.5493 
541 622.3047That's where she wanted to live.623.1767 
543 624.4869<ts> My father did not want to live up there.626.3649 
545 627.2602He didn't want-627.7312 
547 627.8664He didn't want628.5751 
549 628.8876us growing up629.7968 
551 630.9672in that kind of bubble.632.0257 
553 633.4607So634.0855 
555 634.3420um,634.7850 
557 637.2610and I th- I'm sure those houses were mo-639.0410 
559 639.9503I don't know. They might have been the same price. I don't know.642.1092 
561 642.6781It's hard to say back then.643.7086 
563 644.3976Cause everything was so much more affordable,646.1881 
564DCB_int_01646.7430[Yes.]647.2326
565DCB_se3_ag4_f_02646.8456[you know?]647.3165
566 647.8994But um,648.6874
568 649.8707and that's just my take on it.651.2042 
570 651.3068I-651.5120 
572 651.8198And you know, I can just say that653.3632 
574 653.4937because I went654.7014 
576 654.8413to the high school, and I met all of those black kids up there.657.7358 
578 658.4865And I don't know any of them that- whose parents were just661.4988 
580 662.2577regular, you know,663.5400 
581DCB_int_01664.0855Mm.664.2721
582DCB_se3_ag4_f_02664.7896blue collar workers or whatever whatever. They were all667.9604
584 668.0537like,668.3241 
586 669.2789somebody.669.9037 
588 670.5238You know, white collars671.6429 
590 672.2818types.672.8133 
592 673.4708You know.673.9418 
594 675.2928So that might have been very unique to our neighborhood,677.7409 
596 678.9579but I would doubt it.679.8671 
597DCB_int_01680.7380So how did this-681.4700
599 682.0949Two things, and then I'm'a move on from- But how do you f-684.5056 
601 684.7854How do you- And I don't think- I don't know if you know,686.8126 
603 687.2276but how did this neighborhood emerge689.2653 
605 689.3585in the middle of Southeast? So Southeast historically was a very692.4255 
607 693.5073rundown or694.4772 
609 695.1860I will say lower class,696.5289 
611 696.6408and then you have this upper class neighborhood,698.6587 
613 698.7659do you kind of know how that699.8198 
615 700.0296oasis-700.6218 
616DCB_se3_ag4_f_02701.5264The only reason I could think is that703.1397
618 703.2377if you go over to the neighborhood, you can see the difference in the houses.706.2721 
619DCB_int_01706.9622Mm.707.1953
620DCB_se3_ag4_f_02708.3377I mean,708.7993
622 708.8879they are- And I'm sure- I know white people are trying to get those houses now.712.6031 
624 713.2373I mean they look like the houses on Sixteenth Street.715.8905 
626 717.4141Um, I think they even-718.7477 
628 720.2445I don't know what they call- I think they called it the G- They called it a whole bunch of stuff. Like, the Gold Coast of Southeast. I mean, you know, all- m-726.7527 
630 727.0838Whenever I told somebody that I was from Southeast,729.1809 
632 729.6659and then I would say I was from Hillcrest,731.4098 
634 731.7176they'd be like, Oh that's not Southeast.733.2703 
636 734.1971And I was like, Yeah.735.3954 
638 735.7265It is in Southeast.736.9295 
640 737.6663And um,738.5895 
642 738.9859that's the only thing that I could think because there-741.1063 
644 741.3162there were741.7312 
646 742.5985big houses. All the houses looked744.1652 
648 744.3284different.744.8991 
650 745.7506You know, they had big yards.747.8159 
652 748.4959You know,749.0881 
654 749.2279um,749.8248 
656 752.7566that's the only reason that I could think, and I can't think of any other755.9507 
658 758.2111area of Southeast- And I have to say,759.8571 
660 759.9969I-760.4119 
662 760.5238You know, because I went to school uptown and all that stuff,762.8185 
664 762.9346I really didn't763.5967 
666 763.8893get to know764.8405 
668 765.0970a lot of the neighborhoods. I didn't hang out- I mean you know,767.3678

674 770.7240issues going on.771.7218 
676 772.5751You know, so I didn't really get to know- Like I- Like I don't know- I don't know this area776.3847

1456 1563.4101it's not tied to religion.1565.0561 
1458 1565.9188Like,1566.1286 
1460 1566.3606maybe for us it would be um-1568.3330 
1461DCB_int_011569.2609Oh yea- Mm.1570.1935
1462DCB_se3_ag4_f_021570.5665Well I'm- I was1571.5271

1470 1576.3474Whenever we did that anyway-1577.7323

1474DCB_se3_ag4_f_021580.3936to go along with this.1581.4008
1475 1582.5945So it was cultural.1583.8955
1477 1584.0727I don't know what the Hispanics-1585.5275 
1479 1585.9367There was1586.5009

1489DCB_se3_ag4_f_021595.8442So anyway, they would have that, but you know they were rich and they threw-1598.6454
1491 1598.8086It- it- They used to throw,1599.9324

1507 1609.5030they would have 'em.1610.2631 
1509 1611.0884It was a big thing.1611.9557 
1511 1612.5106And so I remember one time not getting invited to that.1614.4970 
1512DCB_int_011614.9493Hm.1615.1218
1513DCB_se3_ag4_f_021615.2093And I kn- And my best friend was Jewish,1617.2609
1515 1618.8790and she got invited.1619.8349 
1517 1621.6009But she was different kind of Jewish because1623.6853 
1519 1624.2401she lived on Capitol Hill,1625.8582 
1521 1626.8374both her parents were lawyers,1628.1465 
1523 1628.4636but they were civil rights lawyers.1629.8764 
1525 1631.5318So,1632.1146 
1527 1632.1986you know, they were more progressive1634.2957 
1528DCB_int_011634.3890Mm-hm.1634.8086
1529DCB_se3_ag4_f_021634.9252type.1635.1817
1531 1636.2681And actually1637.0935 
1533 1637.6157they knew my father because my father1639.3130 
1535 1639.7315was1640.0905 
1537 1640.2771civil rights.1641.0324 
1539 1642.2774So-1642.6458 
1541 1642.7764You know what I mean?1643.3266 
1542DCB_int_011643.4525Mm-hm.1643.7509
1543DCB_se3_ag4_f_021644.3105So it was a different- She wasn't as elitist.1646.7505
1545 1647.6480And then we had to catch the bus together because she lived1650.3198 
1547 1650.5809on Capitol Hill1651.7500 
1549 1652.9812in Southeast, and then I lived- But- And she lived in Southeast,1655.5644 
1551 1655.6670but it was Capitol Hill.1656.6042 
1553 1657.4051And Capitol Hill is of course, booming.1659.5500 
1555 1660.4919Even back then it was pretty.1661.7882 
1557 1662.2545I don't know, but Capitol Hill was weird.1663.8108 
1559 1663.9227But-1664.1325 
1561 1664.9858You know, and I used to have to go across the bridge,1667.1914 
1563 1667.6250so we1668.6555 
1565 1669.9926you know, got1670.3703 
1567 1670.5009c-1670.5941

1570DCB_int_011671.7039Mm-hm.1671.9930
1571DCB_se3_ag4_f_021672.0443And it was her and me and also the w- the g- woman who grew up1674.8980
1573 1675.3083in the projects. Cause she1676.6268 
1575 1677.2050lives in Southwest,1678.3754 
1577 1678.8929so we all got to be really c- And she just was different. She wasn't-1681.9367 
1579 1684.3008You know, you could tell. She didn't have-1685.9934 
1581 1686.1379You know, I don't know whether her parents insti- instilled-1688.8832 
1583 1689.9510You know, cause her father was-1691.3219 
1585 1691.9374Not only was he civil rights, he worked for Legal Aid.1694.3610 
1587 1695.9790So he worked for-1697.5411 
1589 1698.6031He headed the1699.4937 
1591 1700.0672legal-1700.7760 
1593 1701.5267I can't remember what it was. And the m- and her mother was a-1704.0074 
1595 1706.1651was a professor.1707.2096

1603DCB_se3_ag4_f_021715.0701Yeah, she went to the um-1716.6788
1605 1717.1906As a matter of fact, I think that's how I found out1719.3728 
1606DCB_int_011719.9744Mm-hm.1720.3101
1607DCB_se3_ag4_f_021720.6178because she slipped up, and s- Well she didn't slip up,1723.1632
1609 1723.2885she thought that I had been invited. She'd assumed that I had been invited.1726.3427 
1611 1727.1308Because I did get invited1728.5156 
1613 1728.8176to some of 'em but this particular one I did not get invited to.1731.7738 
1615 1731.9044And I know1732.4826 
1617 1732.8603it had to have been because I wasn't-1734.1333 
1619 1735.1393I mean,1735.3818 
1621 1735.5683I- I- I-1735.9460 
1623 1738.2635I've-1738.4453 
1625 1738.5759My take on it was it was because I was black1740.7896 
1626DCB_int_011741.4844Mm.1741.8061
1627DCB_se3_ag4_f_021741.8201and not Jewish.1742.8786
1629 1744.4220You know that was my take on it.1745.7696 
1631 1746.5623But it could have been something else,1747.7500 
1633 1747.8714but that was my interpretation.1749.2330 
1634DCB_int_011749.3635Right.1749.6153
1635DCB_se3_ag4_f_021750.0443You know.1750.4220
1637 1751.6064So that1752.5902 
1639 1753.4331and1754.2071 
1641 1754.5335m- I had my first major crush1756.6085 
1643 1757.6716on a white guy.1758.6229 
1645 1759.4144And he didn't give me the time of day.1761.3915 
1647 1765.3678Didn't look my way.1766.3190

1921 2074.4826I didn't have to work as hard.2075.4805 
1923 2077.1486And I could tell the difference2078.4123

1932DCB_int_012094.0167Why?2094.3431
1933DCB_se3_ag4_f_022094.9901I remember one time I got like-2096.2537

1944DCB_int_012105.7090Mm.2106.1566
1945DCB_se3_ag4_f_022106.6124I don't know where- where I got that from2108.2631

2590 2849.0456<ts>2849.1575 
2592 2850.0481Um,2850.5517 
2594 2850.7709somehow though, I decided that that was the um-2853.5628 
2596 2856.1927I don't know how I decided that.2857.6335 
2598 2860.5980That was the school I wanted to go to somehow I decided, and so I-2864.4589

2611DCB_int_012878.4161Right.2878.7658
2612DCB_se3_ag4_f_022879.0876So my parents probably coulda paid for it.2881.3211

2616 2882.1278coulda paid for it anyway,2883.3157

2634 2895.4183went there.2895.9125 
2636 2896.6912And then there was another girl from my neighborhood that I knew that was a-2899.6102 
2638 2900.0439there before me so I went up there and visited.2902.4907 
2640 2903.7544And um,2904.7429 
2642 2906.3003you know,2906.6407 
2644 2906.8121I really liked it.2907.5255 
2646 2909.5772I mean I liked it.2910.4445 
2648 2911.9739I don't think I applied to any other school.2913.5721 
2650 2915.5865I don't remember applying to any other school.2917.3304 
2651DCB_int_012918.7095So how'd you get back to /RD-SCHOOL-4/?2920.0384
2652DCB_se3_ag4_f_022921.0223Well this is the private- per- personal part of it.2923.5403
2654 2923.7361I had2924.3843 
2656 2924.4950a-2924.6163 
2658 2924.8774um-2925.0872 
2660 2925.4323really big problem with depression.2926.9524 
2662 2927.9922And I still do.2928.8548 
2664 2929.6522Um,2930.1791 
2666 2931.0266so2931.6094 
2668 2931.7493I-2932.3229 
2670 2932.9337And it started when I was in high school.2934.9621 
2672 2935.6009I had my first episode in high school.2937.4509 
2674 2939.0316And then,2939.6844 
2676 2940.4771my parents,2941.1999 
2678 2942.4064because they were2943.2411

2686 2951.6425They didn't have that-2952.9154 
2688 2953.1393I mean I have to say that that's what it is because you know, people in the black community do not2956.9850 
2690 2957.2928deal well with2958.1274 
2692 2958.6730mental illness. And that's a special2960.4169

2696 2961.7960issue t- That's a2962.6073 
2698 2962.7658issue of great concern to me.2964.3979 
2700 2965.8434You know, being with somebody who has struggled with mental illness,2968.2669 
2702 2969.3254and um,2970.1134 
2704 2972.0812they sent me to a psychiatrist.2973.7074 
2706 2974.3225He was a black guy,2975.2461 
2708 2975.8663probably one of the few in the city2977.2745 
2710 2977.6149at the time.2978.1744 
2712 2978.9147And so I-2979.9498 
2714 2980.9850You know, that's when I got diagnosed.2982.7429 
2716 2984.3609But he thought that I2985.6343 
2718 2985.7307um,2986.1410 
2720 2986.6306was just having a-2987.6238

2740 3002.7468um, in going away to college.3004.5933 
2742 3005.0223But it turned out to be something3006.5704 
2744 3006.8455more than that. So when I went to sc- when I went away,3009.5675

2853 3128.2677I made such-3129.2457

2968 3248.3050you know. But that's how I felt about it.3250.0105 
2970 3250.1177And when she and I talked about it,3251.5212 
2972 3251.6798and she was like, Well that-3252.9574 
2974 3253.6662you know, that's had to have been going-3255.0452 
2976 3255.3297Aside from the fact that3256.4348 
2978 3256.5467white schools w-3257.1808

2986 3264.7476you know that was a big consideration too.3266.3703 
2988 3267.0312But that didn't h- have say anything to do with why I didn't apply to Howard.3270.0062

2993 3273.3810But Howard did not have- Howard didn't have a Metro at the time either.3276.6217
2994DCB_int_013278.0439That is true.3278.6873
2995DCB_se3_ag4_f_023279.4323Howard did not have a Metro, so /RD-SCHOOL-4/ was3282.0481

2999 3284.8587AU.3285.3343 
3001 3286.1643I didn't think about those.3287.2601 
3003 3288.2253So that's how I ended up at /RD-SCHOOL-4/.3289.9972 
3005 3291.5255And um,3292.2389 
3007 3292.5514/RD-SCHOOL-4/ was not as hard as /RD-SCHOOL-1/.3294.4305 
3009 3295.6195That's another thing. That's ho- [I mean] because I've been to- through different schools, I can say3299.5529 
3010DCB_int_013296.7282[Hm?]3296.9333
3011DCB_se3_ag4_f_023300.7056you know, that certain schools are harder than others.3302.8832

3013DCB_se3_ag4_f_023304.5280You know,3304.8200
3015 3304.9430/RD-SCHOOL-4/ wasn't as hard as /RD-SCHOOL-1/.3306.6077 
3017 3308.4029You know.3308.7806 
3018DCB_int_013309.4556That surprises me.3310.4861
3020 3311.4280People talk about the academic rigor of /RD-SCHOOL-4/.3313.7081 
3021DCB_se3_ag4_f_023313.7128I think /RD-SCHOOL-4/ has changed.3315.2924
3022DCB_int_013315.6607Mm.3316.1410

3025 3320.0672I don't know.3320.5894 
3027 3321.2644Maybe it was just my experience, but-3323.1482 
3029 3323.2321but maybe3323.8430 
3031 3323.9456they talk about the academic /of/ rigor, but3325.9459 
3033 3326.6081/RD-SCHOOL-1/ was a little Ivy.3328.0711 
3035 3329.3021I mean as /academic r- -ly/ as /RD-SCHOOL-4/ may or may not be, it is not academically as rigorous,3335.2508 
3037 3335.3674a- I can say for sure, as Harvard.3337.4424
