296 | | 214.4033 | you know, it wasn't- | 215.0778 |
298 | | 215.2723 | wasn't like my mom was inexperienced. When I tell this story, everybody thinks like, oh is it one of those she didn't know she was pregnant? | 220.4529 |
300 | | 220.7468 | She knew she was pregnant. She knew what to do. She just didn't do it. Um, | 223.6211 |
302 | | 223.9189 | she woke up, | 224.4295 |
304 | | 224.6422 | uh, Christmas Eve | 225.6728 |
306 | | 225.8288 | and, um, | 226.6798 |
308 | | 227.2054 | pretty much she felt like, | 228.1970 |
310 | | 228.3033 | uh, | 228.6301 |
312 | | 228.7057 | you know, | 228.9244 |
314 | | 229.0189 | labor | 229.4793 |
316 | | 229.6542 | coming on. She- it wasn't clear at first, and then she kind of realized like, yeah that's what's- that's what's happening. So, | 233.9623 |
318 | | 234.4170 | um, you know, he was getting the car ready f- um, | 236.7902 |
320 | | 236.8558 | you know, it's winter, he's warming up the car and getting it ready, um, | 239.3619 |
322 | | 239.5727 | going to Strong, so very close. | 241.0808 |
324 | | 241.7095 | And she comes downstairs, and she's like, | 243.7195 |
326 | | 243.7991 | I, uh- | 244.4397 |
328 | | 244.5378 | I just gotta use the bathroom. | 245.6389 |
330 | | 245.8103 | And he's like, no, like don't, you- don't. We can't have the baby here. Like, come on let's just get in the car. | 250.0891 |
332 | | 250.5441 | And she always- you know, she knows what's best. So | 252.5021 |
334 | | 253.0599 | she did go to the bathroom, | 254.7092 |
336 | | 254.7884 | and then she kind of got stuck in like a hovered | 257.5038 |
338 | | 257.7969 | position over the toilet. | 258.9228 |
340 | | 259.9865 | And, um, | 260.8469 |
342 | | 260.9746 | she- yeah, she just was kind of locked in in that position. | 262.8986 |
344 | | 263.6267 | And, uh, | 264.5541 |
346 | | 265.0694 | I ended up | 265.7679 |

352 | | 267.9059 | catch me, um, | 268.9601 |
354 | | 269.4250 | and | 269.7748 |

789 | | 593.6636 | they've gone away. They've disappeared. | 595.0298 |
791 | | 596.3299 | But it- | 596.5166 |
793 | | 596.6399 | but yeah. | 597.1269 |
795 | | 597.2474 | I r- | 597.4342 |
797 | | 597.5736 | you know, | 597.8715 |
799 | | 598.0156 | I had- | 598.3206 |
801 | | 598.8169 | had some relatives, um, | 600.0394 |
803 | | 601.1386 | there's a | 601.6633 |

817 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 611.0415 | Mm. | 611.2519 |
818 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 612.4917 | Thanks. | 612.8179 |
820 | | 613.0346 | Thanks for that. | 613.4340 |
821 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 613.6491 | <laugh> | 614.3299 |
822 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 615.2269 | Yeah. | 615.4491 |
823 | ROC_int_01 | 616.7642 | Yeah. | 617.0289 |
825 | | 617.2038 | Okay, cool. Um, | 618.6741 |
827 | | 619.1090 | I just wanted to build on that. So you think that maybe integration sort of had something to do with the | 625.3028 |
829 | | 625.5564 | <ts> | 625.6440 |
831 | | 626.1018 | /redistrubi-/ | 627.1381 |
833 | | 627.2078 | re- | 627.5447 |
835 | | 627.7361 | redistribution of people I guess into | 630.1938 |
837 | | 631.1393 | different neighborhoods? Because now Corn Hill is mostly white, | 634.6243 |
839 | | 635.1443 | and I think in general, um, | 637.3529 |
841 | | 637.7122 | you don't have as many | 639.5671 |
843 | | 639.6664 | mixed areas of | 641.3996 |
845 | | 641.5793 | Rochester | 642.3497 |
846 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 642.3863 | [Yeah.] | 642.5659 |
847 | ROC_int_01 | 642.5057 | [in] the city, | 643.1771 |
848 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 643.6621 | Yeah. | 643.8890 |
849 | ROC_int_01 | 644.2675 | [so], | 644.6441 |
850 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 644.5411 | [Well-] | 644.7491 |
851 | ROC_int_01 | 644.7928 | yeah. | 644.9630 |
852 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 645.6857 | well, I mean, | 646.2500 |
854 | | 646.5394 | uh, you know- I mean, | 647.3785 |
856 | | 648.4895 | what's now called | 649.3172 |
858 | | 649.6080 | Corn Hill was like- | 650.7355 |
860 | | 651.0475 | in- in my opinion, was basically stolen from the black community. | 654.1018 |
862 | | 654.7058 | Right, and- and, | 655.7080 |
864 | | 656.2138 | you know, they- | 656.6250 |
866 | | 656.8034 | they bought properties on the cheap, and then they- and then they, | 659.9953 |
868 | | 660.2600 | you know, | 660.6098 |
870 | | 661.6082 | rehabbed 'em or | 662.5159 |
872 | | 662.6340 | rebuilt | 663.4283 |
874 | | 664.0050 | and, you know, and made it this- | 665.7825 |
876 | | 666.4586 | you know, this | 667.0495 |
878 | | 667.9816 | great | 668.4544 |
880 | | 668.7428 | bastion of like rich white people. | 670.7992 |
882 | | 671.6927 | And, um, | 672.3924 |
884 | | 675.5654 | yeah, I d- so I- I- I- I, uh- | 677.6123 |
886 | | 679.1771 | I don't- | 679.4750 |
888 | | 679.6602 | I don't know if | 680.4449 |
890 | | 680.6246 | integration- | 681.6268 |
892 | | 682.1846 | you- you asked if integration is the cause of it, or | 684.8037 |
894 | | 685.0834 | or i- is- is the reason why | 686.8580 |
896 | | 688.8577 | neighborhoods are- or communities are | 690.6834 |
898 | | 690.8299 | isolated. Is that wha- | 691.7831 |
900 | | 691.9722 | is that what you're [asking], | 692.8214 |
901 | ROC_int_01 | 692.5826 | [Well], [the- that] they've changed, right, from the time | 695.4887 |
902 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 692.9959 | [or-] | 693.1472 |
903 | ROC_int_01 | 695.5832 | that you grew up in it to what it looks [like] [now. What] kind of- what things have been happening such [that-] | 701.3541 |
904 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 697.7039 | [Yeah.] | 697.8706 |
906 | | 698.2559 | [Oh yeah.] | 698.5844 |
908 | | 701.0739 | [Yeah], | 701.2748 |
909 | ROC_int_01 | 701.7209 | yeah. | 702.0897 |
910 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 702.5199 | Yeah. | 702.7326 |
912 | | 703.5646 | Well, you know, I- you know I- I- | 705.0672 |
914 | | 705.2279 | I think | 705.7259 |
916 | | 706.6714 | that someone- | 707.5886 |
918 | | 707.8675 | someone apparently back | 709.0210 |
920 | | 709.7868 | in the sixties was somewhat | 711.1350 |
922 | | 711.4139 | forward | 711.9812 |
924 | | 712.1561 | looking | 712.7140 |
926 | | 713.2718 | to the degree that they were able to | 715.4701 |
928 | | 716.4298 | map out | 717.2295 |
930 | | 717.4139 | like a neighborhood that | 718.4575 |
932 | | 718.5544 | would be close to the center of the city, | 720.8177 |
934 | | 721.3661 | and- | 721.5883 |
936 | | 721.7348 | you know, and- you know like an easy walk or an easy bike ride, | 724.7348 |
938 | | 725.9979 | you know, to | 726.6928 |
940 | | 726.8055 | downtown | 727.4492 |
942 | | 727.7282 | work, and, | 728.4550 |
944 | | 728.5543 | you know, businesses, and- | 729.8839 |
946 | | 729.9973 | and government offices, and /they/ bought up a bunch of property. And, | 733.4323 |
948 | | 734.1867 | y- you know, it- I don't know at what point- I thought it was- | 736.4559 |
950 | | 736.6119 | it was more | 737.2596 |
952 | | 737.8514 | seventies, eighties, nineties when people from the suburbs were coming back into the city. But | 742.3046 |
954 | | 743.5933 | yeah, uh, that's about the time Corn Hill | 745.3566 |
956 | | 745.6876 | like sprung up too. | 746.6812 |
958 | | 747.0452 | So, | 747.3572 |
960 | | 748.7754 | you know, | 749.0591 |
962 | | 749.3947 | you know, people were coming back into the city, and they were like scoping out neighborhoods that would | 753.5936 |
964 | | 754.1561 | be convenient to their office locations. | 756.6381 |
966 | | 757.5977 | So, | 757.8530 |
968 | | 757.9854 | yeah. | 758.1792 |
969 | ROC_int_01 | 758.6394 | Okay. | 758.9727 |
971 | | 759.3544 | Makes sense. | 760.0115 |
973 | | 760.5788 | Okay, so nineteenth ward, um, | 762.8299 |
975 | | 763.5769 | do you think, uh, the neighborhood has changed much since you, | 767.8419 |
977 | | 768.2532 | uh, growing up as a small child, and in- in what ways? | 771.1842 |
978 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 773.2151 | Hm. | 774.0046 |
980 | | 774.1937 | Um, | 774.6428 |
982 | | 779.2813 | /I think/- I don't know if I see | 780.5293 |
984 | | 781.0683 | a big difference. | 781.8294 |
986 | | 782.3455 | And, | 782.9183 |
988 | | 783.0601 | um, | 783.5888 |
990 | | 785.0591 | so like | 785.5035 |
992 | | 786.7562 | I went to college for black studies, | 788.4156 |
994 | | 788.6623 | and I feel like | 789.6550 |
996 | | 790.5816 | in college, I was kind of opened up to a lot of stuff that | 793.3235 |
998 | | 793.6781 | <clears throat> | 793.9134 |
1000 | | 793.9784 | I was maybe blind to a little bit, | 795.6457 |
1002 | | 795.7839 | um, in- in growing up. | 797.1820 |
1004 | | 797.8864 | Um, growing up in a mixed family, um, | 800.2832 |
1006 | | 802.1230 | yeah, I th- feel like I had like some color blindness | 804.1047 |
1008 | | 804.1803 | to me, | 804.5624 |
1010 | | 804.9075 | whereas like, w- wha- you know, th- there- to some degree, there's like this like | 807.7827 |
1012 | | 808.0805 | just happy and everyone accepts everyone, because in my family, like, | 810.6806 |
1014 | | 811.1155 | you know, both sides did | 811.9996 |
1016 | | 812.2793 | really get along, | 812.9837 |
1018 | | 813.1161 | um, | 813.4990 |
1020 | | 813.7638 | pretty well. And, | 814.7613 |
1022 | | 815.3805 | you know, I would got to school with mostly students of color. | 818.1708 |
1024 | | 818.2334 | Um, my friends were | 819.4943 |
1026 | | 819.8583 | mostly | 820.6052 |
1028 | | 821.1915 | people of color, but I still had | 822.8082 |
1030 | | 823.0446 | my white friends, and | 824.1461 |
1032 | | 824.3825 | so my groups were like- | 825.6834 |
1034 | | 825.9387 | were mixed, you know. | 826.8369 |
1036 | | 827.4467 | Um, | 827.9053 |
1038 | | 828.7555 | <ts> | 828.8431 |
1040 | | 828.9501 | and, um, | 829.8672 |
1042 | | 830.3313 | I did- I d- still- I remember like | 832.2743 |
1044 | | 832.4540 | kind of distinctly | 833.3900 |
1046 | | 833.7777 | s- at some point in middle school, | 835.1628 |
1048 | | 835.3046 | my shift being like, I really like being around black people, you know. (laughing) [Um], | 838.7376 |
1049 | ROC_int_01 | 838.5363 | [Mm.] | 838.7443 |
1050 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 839.2955 | and, um, you know, I don't know what | 840.5624 |
1052 | | 840.6542 | th- | 840.7086 |
1054 | | 840.8035 | the s- | 841.1555 |
1056 | | 841.2371 | what was behind thay, but, | 842.4721 |
1058 | | 842.5702 | um- | 843.1133 |
1060 | | 843.9406 | but it s- wasn't like, | 844.9145 |
1062 | | 845.0610 | you know, | 845.2832 |
1064 | | 845.7332 | fuck whitey, | 846.3525 |
1066 | | 846.4943 | but it was, you know, like <laugh> [b-] | 848.0591 |
1067 | ROC_int_01 | 847.9173 | [Yes.] | 848.2765 |
1068 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 848.5507 | but, you know, I'd- there- it was definitely a preference. | 850.4323 |
1070 | | 850.8577 | Um, | 851.3069 |
1072 | | 852.2626 | so as far as the neighborhood, um, like | 854.0260 |
1074 | | 854.2435 | some things that I remember (breathy) | 855.7027 |
1076 | | 855.7736 | um, | 856.1770 |
1078 | | 856.9097 | we always kind of | 858.2626 |
1080 | | 859.1514 | saw our street as like being | 860.9998 |
1082 | | 861.3024 | like | 861.5293 |
1084 | | 861.7090 | around the corner from the hood, you know, | 863.0988 |
1086 | | 863.5110 | um, and the nineteenth ward really has like those pockets where, | 866.5176 |
1088 | | 866.7493 | um, | 867.1133 |
1090 | | 867.7515 | there's like, you know, high drug activity, or, you know, whatever it is in like certain | 871.0143 |
1092 | | 871.1089 | areas. | 871.5674 |
1094 | | 872.0638 | And then you can like th- s-literally turn a corner, | 874.1297 |
1096 | | 874.2668 | and it's very different. | 875.4061 |
1098 | | 876.0594 | Um, | 876.5490 |
1100 | | 876.6424 | <clears throat> | 876.9198 |
1102 | | 877.7423 | so | 878.4136 |
1104 | | 878.8438 | I remember like, | 879.7957 |
1106 | | 879.9280 | you know, my sister and I sneaking out of the house. He knows about these [things.] Um, [<laugh>] | 883.7376 |
1107 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 882.5908 | [<laugh>] | 882.6328 |
1108 | ROC_int_01 | 883.0911 | [<laugh>] | 883.9610 |
1109 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 884.0969 | you know, sneaking out and like wanting to, you know, at night, be like- | 887.0138 |
1111 | | 887.2990 | seek out | 887.9939 |
1113 | | 888.1665 | that- | 888.4336 |
1115 | | 888.5829 | those sce- you know, like | 889.7128 |
1117 | | 890.1194 | those scenes. Um, | 891.3130 |
1119 | | 891.5853 | and I still fell like there- | 892.8499 |
1121 | | 893.3297 | there's- | 893.6016 |
1123 | | 893.7552 | that's still the case today, you know, | 895.2479 |
1125 | | 895.3106 | um, | 895.6537 |
1127 | | 895.8806 | that w- like, our little area felt | 897.4761 |
1129 | | 897.6917 | little too safe, and so we wanted to like find some danger, you know. And I f- still feel like that's, | 901.4788 |
1131 | | 901.5875 | um, the case. | 902.5566 |
1133 | | 903.1618 | Um, | 903.5991 |
1135 | | 903.7791 | right in our neighborhood, we had, um- | 906.0909 |
1137 | | 906.2121 | you know, we used to have- | 907.0012 |
1139 | | 907.0699 | I went to | 907.5071 |
1141 | | 907.6419 | /RD-SCHOOL-4/ School which is now /RD-SCHOOL-1/ School | 909.1287 |
1143 | | 909.5211 | on /RD-ADDRESS-2/ | 910.2613 |
1145 | | 910.3771 | and, um, we used to have like the- a corner store there and like, | 912.9871 |
1147 | | 913.2188 | you know, my mom had us out there | 914.5472 |
1149 | | 914.8592 | like picketing because they were like selling drugs and had illegal guns and stuff like that. And, | 918.5494 |
1151 | | 919.0368 | um- | 919.4386 |
1153 | | 919.5615 | and she got- you know, | 920.3037 |
1155 | | 920.4077 | she helped get rid of that store, which I was pretty resentful of. Um, | 923.4804 |
1157 | | 923.9179 | <laugh> you know, that was like | 925.4467 |
1159 | | 925.9336 | the five cent candy store, you know. | 927.2199 |
1160 | ROC_int_01 | 927.4120 | [Mm-hm.] | 927.9061 |
1161 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 927.6690 | [Um], | 928.0661 |
1162 | | 928.2434 | but, um- | 929.4446 |
1164 | | 930.5650 | but yeah, I don't know. I think, | 931.6599 |
1166 | | 931.7527 | um, to that degree, I think that | 933.4438 |
1168 | | 933.7240 | the nineteenth ward has | 934.9805 |
1170 | | 935.3658 | stayed kind of constant in that | 936.6436 |
1172 | | 937.2274 | another thing that I noticed in the nineteenth ward, when I, | 939.2973 |
1174 | | 939.4722 | um, came back | 940.6554 |
1176 | | 941.3457 | home from college, | 942.5230 |
1178 | | 943.0206 | um, | 943.4286 |
1180 | | 943.6401 | I got involved in the, | 945.4368 |
1182 | | 945.5809 | uh- | 945.8457 |
1184 | | 946.0561 | the community association | 947.2748 |
1186 | | 947.4792 | in the nineteenth ward. | 948.2784 |
1188 | | 948.7618 | And | 949.3267 |
1190 | | 949.7193 | it's mostly run by white people. | 951.5337 |
1192 | | 951.7712 | Um, | 952.1967 |
1194 | | 952.6957 | I think, | 953.0609 |
1196 | | 953.2452 | to me, when I look at- | 954.4143 |
1198 | | 954.6188 | at | 954.8291 |
1200 | | 954.8930 | my neighborhood, | 955.6850 |
1202 | | 955.8812 | it feels more black than white, | 957.4710 |
1204 | | 958.0395 | um, and I know that obviously there are still white people there. But, | 960.2741 |
1206 | | 960.4084 | um- | 960.7854 |
1208 | | 961.6129 | but I see white people stepping up to those positions, | 964.4557 |
1210 | | 964.9226 | and also our slogan is, urban by choice. | 967.5101 |
1212 | | 967.6626 | And | 968.0999 |
1214 | | 968.3859 | that began | 969.1271 |
1216 | | 969.6152 | to | 969.7429 |
1218 | | 970.2357 | bother me, | 970.8032 |
1220 | | 970.9108 | um, | 971.3350 |
1222 | | 972.0184 | cause I'm like, whose choice is it [to be urban, you know?] | 974.3504 |
1223 | ROC_int_01 | 973.2131 | [Mm-hm.] | 974.0830 |
1224 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 974.5868 | [It's your choice] to be urban, you- you know, like | 976.5207 |
1225 | ROC_int_01 | 974.7352 | [Right.] | 975.1051 |
1226 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 976.6058 | th- like he's saying with Corn Hill. | 977.9900 |
1228 | | 978.3150 | Like | 978.4628 |
1230 | | 978.5549 | these people | 979.1010 |
1232 | | 979.1624 | chose to come in because | 980.6932 |
1234 | | 980.7759 | some white people with money | 982.2369 |
1236 | | 982.4959 | created | 983.0431 |
1238 | | 983.1743 | a space that they would feel safe in. | 984.7393 |
1240 | | 985.1423 | Um, so you made that choice, but a lot of people don't have the choice. | 988.1376 |
1242 | | 988.1977 | People- you know, like, we don't have the ch- like, | 989.3937 |
1244 | | 989.6407 | oh yeah, we wanna live in sub- suburbs, | 991.6524 |
1246 | | 991.7174 | you know, but | 992.2566 |
1248 | | 992.6655 | w- we like it here, you know. You know, like there- it's not a choice, [you know.] | 995.2755 |
1249 | ROC_int_01 | 995.1384 | [Yeah.] | 995.3357 |
1250 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 995.8605 | Um, | 996.3214 |
1252 | | 997.7245 | so, yeah, so the- there are things, um, that I've- I've like | 1000.8321 |
1254 | | 1000.9762 | been able to put more words and like more critique to, since, uh, | 1004.0566 |
1256 | | 1004.2471 | coming back from college. | 1005.3167 |
1258 | | 1005.6916 | Um, i- but | 1006.1702 |
1260 | | 1006.2707 | honestly when I look, a lot of that | 1007.4752 |
1262 | | 1007.5402 | s- feels the same | 1008.4963 |
1264 | | 1008.6478 | as when I was growing up. | 1009.6217 |
1265 | ROC_int_01 | 1010.4953 | Okay. So | 1011.4443 |
1267 | | 1011.5872 | pretty consistent I guess you would say during the span of your life thus [far.] | 1015.2368 |
1268 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1014.8491 | [Yeah.] | 1015.3408 |
1269 | ROC_int_01 | 1015.5535 | Okay. | 1015.9270 |
1270 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1016.2359 | But my- | 1016.5030 |
1272 | | 1016.5857 | my perspective would be a little different. I'd- | 1018.3967 |
1274 | | 1018.4960 | you know, I think | 1018.9971 |
1276 | | 1020.3965 | the- | 1020.5005 |
1278 | | 1021.9900 | the neighborhood that we live in has pretty much | 1024.2876 |
1280 | | 1024.9546 | stayed the same. | 1025.9190 |
1282 | | 1026.1905 | The neighborhood has stayed the same. | 1027.7222 |
1284 | | 1028.2525 | My recollection of | 1029.4958 |
1286 | | 1030.3846 | like | 1030.6115 |
1288 | | 1030.7297 | /RD-ADDRESS-2/ Road when we f- when we first moved in and- and had children, | 1034.3840 |
1290 | | 1034.7300 | /RD-ADDRESS-2/ Road was a pretty vibrant | 1036.3089 |
1292 | | 1036.9046 | [business] | 1037.4282 |
1293 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1037.2202 | [Mm.] | 1037.5180 |
1294 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1038.0061 | community, | 1038.5639 |
1296 | | 1038.7767 | and it's not the same anymore. | 1040.1004 |
1297 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1040.1099 | Yeah. | 1040.3785 |
1298 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1040.6787 | Like- | 1040.8749 |
1300 | | 1041.0096 | like | 1041.2007 |
1302 | | 1041.2740 | anchor businesses are no longer there. | 1043.2231 |
1304 | | 1043.9978 | The- the other reason why | 1045.0383 |
1306 | | 1045.1234 | w- | 1045.2392 |
1308 | | 1045.3456 | like /RD-NAME-3/ and I | 1046.3785 |
1310 | | 1046.4920 | chose to | 1047.1822 |
1312 | | 1047.3607 | buy in the nineteenth ward, | 1048.7364 |
1314 | | 1049.2903 | right, you know, | 1049.6736 |
1316 | | 1049.7823 | one, we- | 1050.2358 |
1318 | | 1050.4087 | uh, we- | 1050.7893 |
1320 | | 1050.9902 | we had- | 1051.3519 |
1322 | | 1051.4289 | we bought- | 1051.8685 |
1324 | | 1053.4505 | we got a really good deal on the house that we- that we bought. | 1056.4533 |
1326 | | 1057.2664 | And the other- the other thing in it- it- it- it- it goes back to what /RD-NAME-1/ was saying about the- | 1061.1287 |
1328 | | 1061.5475 | the community association. The community association | 1064.2658 |
1330 | | 1065.0041 | w- was formed by | 1066.2995 |
1332 | | 1067.0275 | y- | 1067.1504 |
1334 | | 1067.3023 | you know, | 1067.6234 |
1336 | | 1067.7794 | like | 1067.9933 |
1338 | | 1068.7166 | some people who ha- | 1069.7850 |
1340 | | 1070.2909 | who had s- | 1070.9149 |
1342 | | 1071.5058 | some | 1071.9274 |
1344 | | 1072.0834 | pretty revolutionary ideas. I mean | 1074.2344 |
1346 | | 1074.6835 | the- the nineteenth w- | 1075.7757 |
1348 | | 1075.8886 | d- | 1075.9845 |
1350 | | 1076.0450 | and- and they were mostly white people | 1078.0934 |
1352 | | 1078.7694 | who | 1079.1262 |
1354 | | 1079.2255 | were, | 1079.6535 |
1356 | | 1079.7961 | um, | 1080.1980 |
1358 | | 1081.0536 | beating up or, uh, you know, working hard to beat up on banks who were like redlining like [a- like] all over the neighborhood, | 1087.1860 |
1359 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1085.8576 | [Mm.] | 1086.1271 |
1360 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1087.4838 | and- [and- and that's] where the | 1088.7319 |
1361 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1087.6871 | [Did not know that.] | 1088.3395 |
1362 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1089.0675 | urban by choice, that- | 1090.1393 |
1364 | | 1090.2646 | I mean it- | 1090.6676 |
1366 | | 1091.1504 | you know I- I- I hear what you're saying, [but that's] really where | 1093.5378 |
1367 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1092.5497 | [Yeah.] | 1092.8996 |
1368 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1093.8403 | urban by- you know, we live here because we wanna be here. | 1096.6257 |
1369 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1096.7911 | Yeah. | 1097.0606 |
1370 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1097.6137 | That kind of sentiment came from is- is that they, | 1100.7441 |
1372 | | 1101.5194 | um, | 1101.8173 |
1374 | | 1102.6635 | th- you know, they wanted to- they wanted the | 1104.9890 |
1376 | | 1105.1498 | neighborhood to be, | 1106.1807 |
1378 | | 1106.9196 | um, | 1107.2978 |
1380 | | 1108.4143 | inte- integrated, and like, you know, like, lots of different people living. And that was- | 1112.4563 |
1382 | | 1112.9149 | that was their | 1113.5247 |
1384 | | 1113.8848 | aim, | 1114.3860 |
1386 | | 1114.5561 | and- and, | 1115.2747 |
1388 | | 1115.4591 | you know, helping /nor-/ the, um, | 1116.9530 |
1390 | | 1117.4257 | neighborhood | 1117.9268 |
1392 | | 1118.2767 | become | 1118.8061 |
1394 | | 1119.5200 | more vibrant. | 1120.4805 |
1396 | | 1120.8303 | And- | 1121.0478 |
1398 | | 1121.4118 | um, | 1121.7758 |
1400 | | 1122.3242 | and, | 1122.5275 |
1402 | | 1123.0948 | you know, I- I was active in the nineteenth ward community association for some time, | 1127.0903 |
1404 | | 1127.6340 | you know, | 1128.0134 |
1406 | | 1128.1505 | not- | 1128.3715 |
1408 | | 1128.5830 | not- | 1128.7769 |
1410 | | 1129.1941 | n- | 1129.3359 |
1412 | | 1129.8276 | not a great deal of time, but- | 1131.0614 |
1414 | | 1131.6201 | and I- and I know that there was- there was always- there's always been a great push | 1135.5250 |
1416 | | 1136.0261 | to bring, | 1136.6785 |
1418 | | 1136.8581 | um, | 1137.3073 |
1420 | | 1137.7422 | you know, a | 1138.2725 |
1422 | | 1138.5467 | diversity | 1139.2889 |
1424 | | 1139.6529 | of people into the association, but it was just, | 1142.4232 |
1426 | | 1142.9432 | y- you know, | 1143.4916 |
1428 | | 1144.6271 | you know, efforts to- | 1145.6718 |
1430 | | 1145.8089 | to make that happen | 1146.8632 |
1432 | | 1146.9719 | t- you know, | 1147.5203 |
1434 | | 1147.7897 | just never- | 1148.3618 |
1436 | | 1149.6957 | it | 1149.8754 |
1438 | | 1149.9825 | never came to the point where we- | 1151.7995 |
1440 | | 1151.9697 | where we were hoping that it would come. | 1153.4730 |
1441 | ROC_int_01 | 1154.4138 | Mm-hm. | 1154.7447 |
1443 | | 1157.1187 | Okay. | 1157.5773 |
1445 | | 1158.0973 | Um, | 1158.5606 |
1447 | | 1159.1799 | let's see, what else was I gon- | 1160.4705 |
1449 | | 1160.7731 | oh, I wanted to ask about | 1162.5987 |
1451 | | 1162.8445 | what you thought about U of R's sort of role in- | 1165.8985 |
1453 | | 1166.0781 | in | 1166.5414 |
1455 | | 1167.5247 | trying to create this, um, | 1169.5915 |
1457 | | 1170.5228 | college town for students, and how you think it might be affecting | 1174.4084 |
1459 | | 1174.5272 | the neighborhood. | 1175.4496 |
1460 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1175.4780 | Yeah. | 1175.7995 |
1462 | | 1176.7570 | Um, | 1177.1777 |
1464 | | 1177.2723 | so | 1178.1941 |
1466 | | 1179.8657 | I'm gonna tangent a little bit and [try to bring] it [back.] | 1181.8938 |
1467 | ROC_int_01 | 1181.3454 | [Yeah.] | 1181.5416 |
1469 | | 1181.7520 | [Totally] [fine.] | 1182.2909 |
1470 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1182.1207 | [B-] | 1182.2106 |
1471 | | 1182.4119 | but, um, you know, I r- remember, um, | 1184.9671 |
1473 | | 1185.6724 | the | 1186.0406 |
1475 | | 1186.3952 | Arnett /RD-WORK-4/, | 1187.4636 |
1477 | | 1187.6882 | um, | 1188.1893 |
1479 | | 1188.6979 | and | 1189.3810 |
1481 | | 1189.4873 | we now have the /RD-WORK-2/ | 1190.7284 |
1483 | | 1191.1207 | /RD-WORK-1/. And I don't know if you know the difference, | 1192.5979 |
1485 | | 1192.6688 | but | 1192.8481 |
1487 | | 1193.3620 | Arnett was like | 1194.2956 |
1489 | | 1194.4261 | popping, ha- you know, had a swimming pool- it like- it had what normal /RD-WORK-4/'s have, and, | 1198.4756 |
1491 | | 1199.0074 | um, | 1199.4825 |
1493 | | 1199.7047 | they shut that down when I was a kid. | 1201.4874 |
1495 | | 1202.2438 | Um, | 1202.8016 |
1497 | | 1202.9104 | and, | 1203.5817 |
1499 | | 1203.7050 | you know, people in the neighborhood were like, what | 1205.2831 |
1501 | | 1205.4589 | the hell? You know, like, | 1206.3240 |
1503 | | 1206.4044 | we | 1206.8086 |
1505 | | 1207.1149 | now have nothing here | 1208.1833 |
1507 | | 1208.6990 | and fought to get th- you know, to get anything. And we were given the /RD-WORK-3/, which is | 1213.1102 |
1509 | | 1213.5971 | one floor, has a very- you know, like very small gym, very small dance space, | 1217.7699 |
1511 | | 1218.0819 | very small space for like | 1219.7232 |
1513 | | 1219.7870 | after school programming. | 1220.8276 |
1515 | | 1221.1562 | No | 1221.6932 |
1517 | | 1221.8350 | basketball courts, no swimming pool, like | 1224.3216 |
1519 | | 1224.6672 | just- it has almost nothing. It- | 1225.9838 |
1521 | | 1226.3785 | I feel it was made | 1227.6455 |
1523 | | 1227.8610 | to fail, | 1228.4543 |
1525 | | 1228.6623 | um, | 1229.0476 |
1527 | | 1229.5322 | and they didn't realize that, | 1230.4493 |
1529 | | 1230.6364 | you know, people wanted it. | 1231.6103 |
1531 | | 1231.7545 | And so, | 1232.4022 |
1533 | | 1232.5180 | we- you know, it still maintains membership, | 1234.6316 |
1535 | | 1234.7545 | um, | 1235.1161 |
1537 | | 1235.8914 | you know, f- | 1236.1893 |
1539 | | 1236.2555 | for it to have existed for as long as it has, | 1237.9493 |
1541 | | 1238.5194 | um, | 1238.8314 |
1543 | | 1238.9921 | even with like how little, | 1240.2804 |
1545 | | 1240.4671 | um, | 1240.7744 |
1547 | | 1240.8476 | that it offers. | 1241.4957 |
1549 | | 1242.1741 | And, um, | 1242.8620 |
1551 | | 1243.0653 | I- | 1243.1890 |
1553 | | 1243.2540 | so I worked when I came back from school- I worked at the /RD-WORK-1/ in, um- | 1246.7805 |
1555 | | 1247.4045 | in their like, uh, childcare programming. And, | 1249.7450 |
1557 | | 1250.3762 | um, | 1250.9435 |
1559 | | 1252.4921 | while I was there, there were talks of- | 1254.8303 |
1561 | | 1255.4307 | so it's k- the /RD-WORK-6/. | 1257.2200 |
1563 | | 1257.7570 | And there were talks of | 1258.7498 |
1565 | | 1259.0381 | putting that at | 1259.8962 |
1567 | | 1260.2082 | College Town. | 1260.9295 |
1569 | | 1261.7450 | And, | 1262.3667 |
1571 | | 1262.6267 | um, | 1263.0829 |
1573 | | 1263.4946 | th- it was very frustrating cause | 1265.2296 |
1575 | | 1265.6102 | like the reason that that | 1266.6195 |
1577 | | 1267.0359 | shitty /RD-WORK-1/ existed was (laughing) | 1269.0333 |
1579 | | 1269.6530 | for the people in that neighborhood. If it were moved to College Town, it would | 1273.0997 |
1581 | | 1273.2581 | not- you know, it wouldn't be for those neighbors. It would be for these students who | 1277.2769 |
1583 | | 1277.7071 | are now coming and taking up space in this neighborhood. | 1280.2060 |
1585 | | 1280.6622 | Um, so that's like, you know, just one | 1282.6576 |
1587 | | 1282.9105 | of many things that I've noticed. Um, | 1284.7069 |
1589 | | 1285.3810 | o- | 1285.5063 |
1591 | | 1285.6079 | our street, | 1286.3237 |
1593 | | 1286.4542 | um, because it is one of those like, | 1287.9811 |
1595 | | 1288.0438 | you know, safer feeling pockets, um, | 1290.0826 |
1597 | | 1290.4088 | I feel like we tend- and | 1291.5340 |
1599 | | 1291.9925 | w- we- | 1292.3778 |
1601 | | 1292.4511 | k- we have for years had | 1294.1912 |
1603 | | 1294.3496 | college students living, | 1295.4558 |
1605 | | 1295.5622 | um, on our street. And, | 1296.5010 |
1607 | | 1296.8201 | you know, we have a neighbor across the street who passed away, and his house then became one of these | 1300.7987 |
1609 | | 1301.0894 | houses, um, | 1302.0755 |
1611 | | 1302.3946 | where college students live. | 1303.3258 |
1613 | | 1303.6148 | But, you know, it- | 1304.1013 |
1615 | | 1304.2833 | it j- um, | 1304.9664 |
1617 | | 1306.1834 | <ts> | 1306.2572 |
1619 | | 1306.5245 | when those opportunities come, when a house opens up | 1308.5654 |
1621 | | 1308.6499 | that | 1308.8958 |
1623 | | 1309.0547 | is an oppontunity for a landlord to come in and- | 1310.8908 |
1625 | | 1311.2954 | and make money o- | 1311.9879 |
1627 | | 1312.0943 | um, you know, | 1312.7065 |
1629 | | 1312.8673 | off of that, | 1313.3305 |
1631 | | 1313.5646 | versus like families coming in and living there, | 1315.9618 |
1633 | | 1316.1344 | uh, | 1316.3944 |
1635 | | 1316.5078 | you know, for years. | 1317.2575 |
1637 | | 1317.9147 | Um, | 1318.3070 |
1639 | | 1319.1060 | So /I/ see that a lot, | 1320.2055 |
1641 | | 1320.6003 | um, | 1320.9738 |
1643 | | 1321.1841 | but, you know, there's, um- | 1322.4346 |
1645 | | 1322.5220 | I don't know what it's called, but | 1323.6060 |
1647 | | 1323.9251 | over on Plymouth. That was one of the ones that really | 1326.2231 |
1649 | | 1326.3696 | shocked me cause Plymouth is the hood, you know. | 1328.1405 |
1651 | | 1328.6700 | And a- | 1329.2609 |
1653 | | 1329.4476 | I remember, | 1330.3718 |
1655 | | 1330.6063 | you know, | 1330.9419 |
1657 | | 1331.3036 | on a daily basis driving, | 1332.8896 |
1659 | | 1333.4715 | um, through Plymouth, | 1334.5967 |
1661 | | 1335.9156 | and, um, | 1337.1168 |
1663 | | 1337.7030 | I was shocked to see- (laughing) cause I, | 1339.6015 |
1665 | | 1339.7717 | you know, assumed that | 1340.9134 |
1667 | | 1341.3082 | housing for the U of R | 1342.6985 |
1669 | | 1342.7670 | in that space | 1343.8236 |
1671 | | 1344.4098 | w- | 1344.5516 |
1673 | | 1344.6864 | would | 1345.2017 |
1675 | | 1345.9017 | probably be pretty white, | 1347.0694 |
1677 | | 1347.1480 | um, | 1347.4429 |
1679 | | 1347.7120 | and it's still shocking. I- I have friends from like Harlem who talk about, | 1351.6994 |
1681 | | 1352.3991 | um, | 1352.8317 |
1683 | | 1354.3378 | seeing white people coming further and further into Harlem, and them just looking like, wow, you feel safe here? | 1358.8510 |
1685 | | 1359.1134 | And that's how I felt when I would see- like, seeing white people further down Plymouth. | 1363.0919 |
1687 | | 1363.7514 | Um, | 1364.1533 |
1689 | | 1364.8510 | I was like, what- | 1365.3450 |
1691 | | 1365.5885 | you know, like, what are you doing? Like, <laugh> | 1367.3302 |

1699 | ROC_int_01 | 1374.5103 | [I know, (laughing) like] I can totally relate. [It was] | 1376.8565 |
1700 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1376.4391 | [Yeah.] | 1377.0300 |
1701 | ROC_int_01 | 1377.1874 | for me as a native, I was like | 1379.1785 |
1703 | | 1379.6465 | w- | 1380.0342 |
1704 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1380.4880 | Like I don't wanna live there, you [know.] | 1382.2797 |
1705 | ROC_int_01 | 1381.9914 | [Yeah], like yeah. And you would have kids [walking] | 1385.3109 |
1706 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1385.2825 | [Yeah.] | 1385.6891 |
1707 | ROC_int_01 | 1385.4480 | [midnight], two AM in the [morning around] pla- [Plymouth, yeah.] | 1388.6627 |
1708 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1386.7480 | [Drunk.] | 1387.5233 |
1710 | | 1387.8495 | [Yeah.] | 1388.3932 |
1711 | | 1388.6816 | Targets. | 1389.2205 |
1713 | | 1389.8162 | Um, | 1390.2889 |
1715 | | 1391.1890 | yeah, and- and also- I also don't want it to come off | 1394.2769 |
1717 | | 1394.4743 | as me like- | 1395.7341 |
1719 | | 1396.5508 | li- as if I expect violence or certain things from | 1399.7919 |
1721 | | 1400.0094 | like my people and the people of the neighborhood, | 1401.6498 |
1723 | | 1402.0761 | um, | 1402.4874 |
1725 | | 1402.7569 | but I also can understand, um, | 1405.4137 |
1727 | | 1405.5603 | th- just the frustration felt | 1407.2101 |
1729 | | 1407.3189 | when you see your neighborhood being taken over | 1409.7260 |
1731 | | 1410.0002 | by outsiders. And, | 1411.2577 |
1733 | | 1411.7493 | um, | 1412.2599 |
1735 | | 1413.6079 | like, | 1414.1350 |
1737 | | 1414.3761 | just like with Corn Hill, like | 1415.7849 |
1739 | | 1416.3171 | we weren't deserving of like | 1418.5178 |
1741 | | 1418.7612 | /th-/ | 1418.9882 |
1743 | | 1419.0945 | th- beautiful space. You know, like we're not deserving of | 1421.7778 |
1745 | | 1422.3786 | the things that you people with money, and like the U of R is like, | 1425.8159 |
1747 | | 1426.0239 | you know- just has | 1426.9670 |
1749 | | 1427.3098 | so much money. | 1428.3569 |
1751 | | 1428.7450 | Um, | 1429.1563 |
1753 | | 1430.0734 | i- | 1430.1632 |
1755 | | 1430.2767 | you know, um, so I- | 1431.1962 |
1757 | | 1431.3569 | I- | 1431.4467 |
1759 | | 1431.6055 | I get like the frustration behind, um, | 1434.1938 |
1761 | | 1434.5724 | seeing | 1435.2792 |
1763 | | 1435.4541 | your neighborhood | 1436.2058 |
1765 | | 1436.3854 | taken over, and | 1437.1513 |
1767 | | 1437.4779 | I know that frustration can | 1438.7779 |
1769 | | 1438.8441 | come out in a multitude of ways. | 1440.2765 |
1771 | | 1440.5133 | Especially, | 1441.0428 |
1773 | | 1441.4021 | you know, when I say targets, it's like, | 1442.8912 |
1775 | | 1443.0402 | well if you can afford to live in like, | 1444.8228 |
1777 | | 1444.9528 | you know, this expensive housing, like | 1446.1406 |
1779 | | 1446.4231 | you might | 1446.8372 |
1781 | | 1447.4045 | be someone that I want, (laughing) you know. | 1448.7494 |
1783 | | 1449.1276 | I- | 1449.2954 |
1785 | | 1449.5224 | I'm struggling, | 1450.2278 |
1787 | | 1450.3046 | you know. | 1450.6054 |
1789 | | 1451.1348 | Um, I think there's a lot of reasons why crime happens, um, | 1454.1467 |
1791 | | 1454.9419 | <ts> | 1454.9956 |
1793 | | 1455.0898 | but, yeah. | 1455.5176 |
1795 | | 1455.8561 | So- so those are like some of the things, um, | 1458.0756 |
1797 | | 1458.5842 | that I've noticed and that- that- | 1459.6834 |
1799 | | 1460.4303 | that are frustrating. Y- we had, um, | 1462.0523 |
1801 | | 1462.4328 | that Boulder that was in that like | 1464.0709 |
1803 | | 1464.6930 | the- | 1464.9010 |
1805 | | 1465.0452 | i- | 1465.1468 |
1807 | | 1465.2532 | the one side of the street that was like | 1466.6832 |
1809 | | 1466.7636 | big and beautiful, [and like] | 1467.8773 |
1810 | ROC_int_01 | 1467.6422 | [Mm-hm.] | 1468.1764 |
1811 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1467.9553 | [it was] one of the best spaces that we had. | 1469.8014 |
1812 | | 1470.1158 | Um, our arts in Rochester are just like dwindling, | 1472.9882 |
1814 | | 1473.0638 | um, regularly. | 1473.9577 |
1816 | | 1474.5061 | And to have | 1475.4185 |
1818 | | 1475.4809 | that space that we had in Boulder like, | 1477.3440 |
1820 | | 1477.5543 | um, very beautiful space | 1479.4481 |
1822 | | 1480.2305 | that could offer like | 1481.3419 |
1824 | | 1481.6610 | doing shows. I've s- I saw like a lot of really good hip hop shows. | 1484.9234 |
1826 | | 1485.4008 | Um, | 1485.8949 |
1828 | | 1486.3672 | <ts> | 1486.4251 |
1830 | | 1486.6361 | and | 1487.4090 |
1832 | | 1488.5984 | th- | 1488.8206 |
1834 | | 1489.0357 | that | 1489.5439 |
1836 | | 1489.7850 | was | 1490.0119 |
1838 | | 1490.1159 | given to like a Jewish community center, and like | 1492.6314 |
1840 | | 1492.9682 | Boulder moved to l- a much smaller space that just really couldn't accommodate what | 1496.4303 |
1842 | | 1496.7494 | the other space had had. | 1497.9908 |
1843 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1498.3075 | But | 1498.4588 |
1845 | | 1498.5463 | y- | 1498.6976 |
1847 | | 1499.2790 | you- | 1499.4067 |
1849 | | 1499.9905 | you know that | 1500.8497 |
1851 | | 1502.7327 | well, there- there was circumstance. There- a- a few [f- circumstances] | 1505.9671 |
1852 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1504.9460 | [Yeah.] | 1505.2816 |
1853 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1506.6337 | Like they ad- a- th- this i- | 1508.0283 |
1855 | | 1508.9115 | n- | 1509.1621 |
1857 | | 1509.2980 | Jewish | 1510.0544 |
1859 | | 1510.2021 | community | 1511.0803 |
1861 | | 1511.9226 | came to Boulder and offered them- they- they liked the building. I mean, | 1515.8369 |
1863 | | 1517.6287 | before the- | 1518.2188 |
1865 | | 1518.3110 | I'm- I'm- | 1518.6876 |
1867 | | 1519.4220 | before Boulder was there it used to be a drug store on the corner of Brooks and Genesee. | 1523.4348 |
1869 | | 1524.8066 | Drug store moved out, | 1525.9223 |
1871 | | 1526.1256 | and, uh- [and the building] [was-] | 1527.6668 |
1872 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1526.6362 | [It was b-] | 1526.9996 |
1874 | | 1527.4363 | [boarded] up for years. | 1528.4432 |
1875 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1528.5366 | for years. I mean, the roof had caved in. It was like- it was a freaking mess. | 1532.5577 |
1877 | | 1533.1779 | And- and nobody, nobody was interested in that- in that space. | 1537.2861 |
1879 | | 1539.0116 | City comes along. | 1540.2652 |
1881 | | 1540.8089 | The nineteenth ward also [had a hand] in it. | 1542.9126 |
1882 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1542.0191 | [Mm-hm.] | 1542.4162 |
1883 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1543.9384 | Um, | 1544.2363 |
1885 | | 1545.0589 | they- | 1545.5080 |
1887 | | 1546.2605 | they bought the building or the building was given to 'em by the city. They rehabbed the building. They, you know- they had fundraisers and blah blah blah. | 1553.0027 |
1889 | | 1555.3664 | Really | 1555.8439 |
1891 | | 1556.0141 | an absolute | 1556.6334 |
1893 | | 1556.8130 | beautiful building. I mean, once they got it all done, it was a re- it- I mean, | 1560.4304 |
1895 | | 1560.9126 | you could sit up- | 1561.5445 |
1897 | | 1561.6414 | downstairs or [you could go] upstairs. It was a great building. Now all of a sudden | 1565.3247 |
1898 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1562.3736 | [Yeah.] | 1562.7045 |
1899 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1565.7888 | this Jewish | 1566.5409 |
1901 | | 1566.6709 | community, this rabbi, | 1568.3322 |
1903 | | 1569.0002 | all of a sudden, he's interested in the building, and it has to be that building, | 1572.9721 |
1905 | | 1573.5441 | right. | 1573.8467 |
1907 | | 1574.2249 | He can't- | 1574.6740 |
1909 | | 1575.0806 | he can't go across the street where Boulder is now. | 1577.6948 |
1911 | | 1578.0258 | It has to be this building. | 1579.2794 |
1913 | | 1579.5867 | And he went to that guy who own- who was running it, | 1581.8275 |
1915 | | 1582.1821 | who had gotten a special deal | 1583.5199 |
1917 | | 1583.8942 | from the city, | 1584.6979 |
1919 | | 1585.1754 | and offered him money, and the guy said no. | 1586.9813 |
1921 | | 1587.1987 | /Like he, uh/, initially | 1588.2104 |
1923 | | 1588.4421 | he said no. | 1589.0708 |
1925 | | 1589.5719 | And- and- and my understanding was that he- | 1591.9365 |
1927 | | 1593.5769 | he had entered into a d- | 1594.8352 |
1929 | | 1594.9097 | a deal with the city that obligated him to stay in that building for a certain amount of time. | 1599.6681 |
1930 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1599.8194 | Mm. | 1600.1787 |

1935 | | 1602.5358 | and- | 1602.8856 |
1937 | | 1603.1362 | but the Jewish community | 1604.2991 |
1939 | | 1604.6253 | kept hitting him. | 1605.3636 |
1941 | | 1605.4629 | Y- you know, they- | 1606.1610 |
1943 | | 1606.2461 | they kept coming back. | 1607.4280 |
1945 | | 1607.5485 | And they- | 1608.2293 |
1947 | | 1608.8067 | they- they- I ge- I guess eventually hit him | 1611.3226 |
1949 | | 1611.6677 | at a time when he was really vulnerable, like cash flow was not really all that good. | 1615.8515 |
1951 | | 1616.6655 | And he, uh, | 1617.5920 |
1953 | | 1618.6084 | he made a deal. He made a deal with the city, and, you know- | 1621.5009 |
1955 | | 1621.6734 | and he s- and he sold the b- and he ended up selling the building. But | 1624.4780 |
1957 | | 1625.9510 | y- I- | 1626.2934 |
1959 | | 1626.3939 | the- really, that was a- that was a beautiful space. That was really | 1629.3799 |
1961 | | 1629.9328 | h- h- | 1630.3134 |
1962 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1630.4215 | [Yeah.] | 1630.7406 |
1963 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1630.6650 | [you] know people /enjoyed-/ I en- | 1631.9430 |
1964 | | 1632.1699 | you know, I enjoyed going to th- | 1633.2348 |
1966 | | 1633.3169 | and- and really | 1634.4627 |
1968 | | 1635.2097 | w- what, | 1635.7297 |
1970 | | 1636.0331 | you know- and then eventually, he's out of business in the- in | 1638.8790 |
1972 | | 1639.2005 | the space that he was in, and | 1640.6109 |
1974 | | 1640.6798 | ended up being sold to a- | 1641.8148 |
1975 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1641.8816 | Yeah | 1642.1912 |
1976 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1642.3260 | another party. And it's not n- nearly as- I mean, it's not- it was never as warm as | 1646.5457 |
1978 | | 1646.8293 | [the original] building. | 1647.7015 |
1979 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1646.9097 | [Yeah.] | 1647.2501 |
1980 | | 1648.0605 | And | 1648.2778 |
1982 | | 1648.3393 | even like it being owned by Boulder | 1650.1513 |
1984 | | 1650.2262 | isn't | 1650.5157 |
1986 | | 1650.6117 | ideal, | 1651.2203 |
1988 | | 1651.6044 | but just the idea of like, | 1653.5699 |
1990 | | 1654.2546 | not being able to have those spaces | 1656.1860 |
1991 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1656.3077 | But- | 1656.4301 |
1992 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1656.5585 | in our- | 1657.0052 |
1993 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1657.1152 | Right. | 1657.2960 |
1994 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1657.4437 | in [our] places | 1658.2228 |
1995 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1657.5970 | [Right.] | 1657.7979 |
1996 | | 1658.2712 | And- and really, I mean, w- you know, | 1659.8023 |
1998 | | 1660.1203 | y- | 1660.3094 |
2000 | | 1660.5095 | I- I liked | 1661.2754 |
2002 | | 1661.4148 | the coffee house | 1662.3083 |
2004 | | 1662.7622 | but a c- | 1663.0631 |
2006 | | 1663.1790 | coffee house, I- I don't see that being a- | 1665.0126 |
2008 | | 1665.6367 | you know, like a- | 1666.4498 |
2010 | | 1666.9045 | a black attraction. I mean, I- I- | 1668.6205 |
2012 | | 1669.3769 | I- I like it, but I think | 1670.8330 |
2014 | | 1671.1545 | like everything else in that neighborhood, in that- in- in that | 1674.5544 |
2016 | | 1675.3438 | area right there, | 1676.3130 |
2018 | | 1676.6912 | that was u- that w- that really all was set up | 1679.1771 |
2020 | | 1679.2685 | not for the community. | 1680.6253 |
2022 | | 1681.1264 | It was set up for the U of [R.] | 1682.5501 |
2023 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1682.4926 | [Yeah.] | 1682.7384 |
2024 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1682.8929 | It's set up for the U of R | 1684.1283 |
2026 | | 1685.1934 | students and their [families. The] hotel, that [was all set] up for the students and their families, | 1690.3202 |
2027 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1686.8144 | [Yeah.] | 1687.0413 |
2029 | | 1687.9328 | [Mm-hm.] | 1688.2779 |
2030 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1690.4951 | right. | 1690.8436 |
2032 | | 1691.7952 | And- and- | 1692.4334 |
2034 | | 1692.6414 | a- I always wondered. I- I- you know, I- it's like- | 1694.8074 |
2036 | | 1695.3511 | like- /ugh/ | 1695.9231 |
2038 | | 1696.5235 | cause my- | 1697.0813 |
2040 | | 1697.4501 | I- I have this | 1698.3908 |
2042 | | 1698.6083 | vision of a U- | 1700.1077 |
2044 | | 1700.2590 | like- | 1700.5994 |
2046 | | 1700.7129 | like- | 1700.9587 |
2048 | | 1701.2837 | U of R students | 1702.6618 |
2050 | | 1702.8780 | moms and dads, I- it- | 1704.4618 |
2052 | | 1704.7454 | the vision that I have is that they're not- | 1706.1503 |
2054 | | 1706.5663 | they're not- these are not poor people. | 1708.0838 |
2056 | | 1708.5613 | They're- that they're- that- | 1709.6435 |
2058 | | 1709.7452 | that, | 1710.0930 |
2060 | | 1710.3294 | um- | 1710.7454 |
2062 | | 1711.2162 | that the- | 1711.7268 |
2064 | | 1712.1191 | the U of R f- | 1713.0126 |
2066 | | 1713.2207 | families are high end people. They're, you know- | 1716.3085 |
2068 | | 1717.0129 | and I just wondered | 1717.9726 |
2070 | | 1718.3378 | like- like, how the hell is that gonna work? | 1720.3108 |
2072 | | 1720.8024 | Right? Because- | 1721.6912 |
2074 | | 1722.0363 | cause literally, I- you know, | 1723.1614 |
2076 | | 1724.0652 | y- y- | 1724.3630 |
2078 | | 1724.7129 | y- | 1724.9540 |
2080 | | 1725.0899 | you c- you can cross the street or y- even go a block | 1727.7905 |
2082 | | 1728.3199 | down the street, and you're like in a totally different neighborhood. You're like- | 1732.0035 |
2084 | | 1732.5471 | like- | 1732.8071 |
2086 | | 1733.1144 | like this thing that this | 1734.2396 |
2088 | | 1734.9865 | utopia that they were trying to build there on that- | 1737.6773 |
2090 | | 1738.1784 | on those four corners. | 1739.2515 |
2092 | | 1739.6250 | I just didn't see how it was ever gonna work. And it was just- it was- | 1742.1172 |
2094 | | 1742.6136 | it- it seemed to me- and I- and I- I had | 1744.7894 |
2096 | | 1744.8721 | some of the same | 1745.6864 |
2098 | | 1746.7562 | worries that you had. | 1748.2312 |
2100 | | 1748.6331 | Is a- is like, you know, | 1749.4896 |
2102 | | 1749.8583 | i- | 1750.0513 |
2104 | | 1750.1317 | i- it's a haven for m- muggings. I mean it's just- it's just a- | 1753.1817 |
2106 | | 1753.7504 | y- you know, | 1754.3272 |
2108 | | 1754.6344 | l- you know, like these people are gonna be walking down the street, a- and they're gonna d- you know, | 1759.0838 |
2110 | | 1759.6559 | you know, somebody's- somebody's gonna get hurt, | 1761.3436 |
2112 | | 1761.7312 | right. | 1762.0196 |
2114 | | 1764.5307 | Th- the- | 1765.1311 |
2116 | | 1765.6606 | I- I think the utopia experiment that they tried, | 1768.5916 |
2118 | | 1768.8666 | y- you know, and they- they got those buildings on Plymouth and then I think they they did some- | 1772.3792 |
2120 | | 1772.7243 | some more | 1773.2443 |
2122 | | 1773.5374 | building | 1774.1205 |
2124 | | 1774.2363 | deeper into- into- into that neighborhood. | 1776.5421 |
2126 | | 1777.0763 | I think that experiment | 1778.3252 |
2128 | | 1779.1194 | led to College Town, | 1780.5140 |
2130 | | 1780.7398 | right. [Because] they- | 1781.6593 |
2131 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1780.9998 | [Mm.] | 1781.2456 |
2132 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1781.9587 | I just- | 1782.2849 |
2134 | | 1782.6915 | it- it just didn't- you know, they realized, you know, what- what the hell? I mean, this is- this is not- | 1786.5916 |
2136 | | 1786.8808 | this not working out the way that- | 1788.0249 |
2138 | | 1788.5544 | I mean that whole- | 1789.3864 |
2140 | | 1790.2799 | that building where the coffee shop is now, that whole- | 1793.1125 |
2142 | | 1793.4339 | that was supposed to be like U of R office space. | 1795.8166 |
2144 | | 1796.2990 | [Never happened.] | 1797.1547 |
2145 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1796.3264 | [Mm.] | 1796.8015 |
2146 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1797.3461 | Never happened. I mean, the second floor- | 1799.4109 |
2147 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1799.6851 | Yeah. | 1799.9372 |
2148 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1799.9461 | the d- the- the first floor was supposed to be like | 1802.2879 |
2150 | | 1802.6828 | restaurants and | 1803.8678 |
2152 | | 1804.2129 | coffee shop, and, you know a- or, you know, | 1806.2504 |
2154 | | 1806.7657 | you know, places. | 1807.4323 |
2156 | | 1808.1792 | But they could never attract like, | 1809.9952 |
2158 | | 1810.1158 | you know, Applebee's, or, you know, like- | 1812.5648 |
2160 | | 1812.6770 | like these solid franchises | 1814.5399 |
2162 | | 1814.9843 | to like, come into the- they- | 1816.2345 |
2164 | | 1816.3563 | th- th- you know, | 1817.0246 |
2166 | | 1817.3792 | they could never attract 'em. And so you ended up with- | 1819.6823 |
2168 | | 1820.6278 | y- | 1820.8819 |
2170 | | 1820.9717 | you ended up with like, | 1822.1867 |
2172 | | 1822.2782 | y- you know, Subway, you know, tried it. | 1824.3483 |
2174 | | 1824.9156 | Um, California Rollin | 1826.3260 |
2176 | | 1826.4111 | tried it | 1826.9256 |
2178 | | 1827.2504 | and didn't succeed. | 1828.3803 |
2180 | | 1828.6403 | Th- you know | 1829.1176 |
2182 | | 1829.2700 | I mean, they just couldn't attract. | 1830.2835 |
2184 | | 1830.6097 | And that's why- | 1831.3661 |
2186 | | 1831.6970 | that's why they- | 1832.6189 |
2188 | | 1832.8032 | that's why the- I think that's why they built College Town is because | 1835.9242 |
2190 | | 1836.4064 | that's a safer, | 1837.7159 |
2192 | | 1837.8719 | safer, safer neighborhood for | 1839.5132 |
2194 | | 1840.0474 | U of R families. | 1841.0165 |
2196 | | 1841.4562 | And in spite of that, | 1842.5293 |
2198 | | 1842.8035 | it- | 1842.9784 |
2200 | | 1843.2195 | it doesn't seem to be working. | 1844.1225 |
2201 | ROC_int_01 | 1844.9413 | [I was] just gonna say that. I feel like, uh, I think two or three of the things that were in [there already] [closed.] | 1850.5663 |
2202 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1844.9478 | [<laugh>] | 1845.1765 |

2206 | | 1850.8689 | <ts> Yup. | 1851.2140 |
2207 | ROC_int_01 | 1851.7860 | And I'm [just like], | 1852.6322 |
2208 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1852.1465 | [Yup.] | 1852.3072 |
2209 | ROC_int_01 | 1853.0530 | this is not serving- | 1854.4192 |
2211 | | 1854.8825 | I mean it's bad enough that you're just trying to serve | 1857.3653 |
2213 | | 1857.7718 | the U of R community, | 1858.9821 |
2215 | | 1859.4501 | but it's not even [serving them.] | 1861.1529 |
2216 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1860.4627 | [Right.] | 1860.6447 |
2217 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1860.6730 | [Mm-hm.] | 1861.3136 |

2219 | | 1861.3585 | Right. | 1861.5169 |
2221 | | 1861.9884 | But it- see- | 1862.5368 |
2223 | | 1863.0096 | but it's i- | 1863.3539 |
2225 | | 1864.2557 | in- in my- i- in my opinion, | 1866.3641 |
2227 | | 1868.4640 | they- they didn't set up- | 1870.0199 |
2229 | | 1870.0967 | they didn't set it up in a way where it's- | 1871.8691 |
2231 | | 1871.9826 | cause- | 1872.1989 |
2233 | | 1872.5858 | cause really | 1873.2240 |
2235 | | 1873.4084 | I drive down that way, and- and often, the- it's like, you know, | 1876.0605 |
2237 | | 1876.1408 | damn, I'd like to try that, | 1877.2162 |
2239 | | 1877.2859 | but where am I parking? | 1878.3230 |
2240 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1878.4837 | Mm-hm. | 1878.8950 |
2241 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1878.8975 | Right, y- there's no place for you to go. | 1880.5033 |
2243 | | 1880.7113 | I mean, I can't- | 1881.2601 |
2245 | | 1881.5886 | I can't just pull over and park on the street. | 1883.6545 |
2247 | | 1884.1490 | I'm- and I don't- I don't know | 1885.5105 |
2249 | | 1885.9478 | if there's a parking lot | 1886.9693 |
2251 | | 1887.0946 | back behind those buildings or not. I never tried. | 1889.5529 |
2252 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1890.1041 | Well and then you got the hospital, and you're already competing for a- a h- parking at the hospital. | 1892.8862 |
2253 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1893.1726 | You know, | 1893.4941 |
2255 | | 1893.5697 | [it's just-] it just c- | 1894.5719 |
2256 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1893.6052 | [Yeah.] | 1893.8274 |
2257 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1894.6594 | it just- | 1895.1314 |
2259 | | 1895.3819 | I- you know, it was r- you know, | 1896.6489 |
2261 | | 1898.9417 | seemed like a good idea to somebody, but they didn't- I don't know that- well, from my | 1902.8758 |
2263 | | 1903.9490 | observation, | 1904.7054 |
2265 | | 1905.1025 | they didn't plan it out. I mean they didn't | 1906.6068 |
2267 | | 1906.6943 | like go to the next level. Well, you know, how- Alright, | 1908.9042 |
2269 | | 1909.4417 | so you got these really cool shops and stores | 1911.7638 |
2271 | | 1912.2129 | and bakeries up in here, | 1913.5791 |
2273 | | 1914.5104 | but how are you gonna- how are you gonna | 1916.0705 |
2275 | | 1916.9243 | get people to stop. I mean I- you know, it just- it just- | 1920.1417 |
2276 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1920.2410 | Yeah. | 1920.5246 |
2277 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 1921.3141 | I don't get it. | 1921.8294 |
2279 | | 1922.1792 | I mean, | 1922.5574 |
2281 | | 1922.7843 | I don't get i- you know. | 1923.6077 |
2282 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1926.2788 | Um, | 1926.7232 |
2284 | | 1928.7032 | uh, I don't know, | 1929.5400 |
2286 | | 1930.0123 | y- | 1930.1542 |
2288 | | 1930.2511 | you're a little bit younger than me. | 1931.2263 |
2290 | | 1931.8787 | Um, | 1932.3798 |
2292 | | 1933.1518 | b- | 1933.3102 |
2294 | | 1933.3917 | I don't know if you were around when like Java's | 1935.2652 |
2296 | | 1935.4460 | were ha- | 1935.8220 |
2298 | | 1935.8859 | was having the open mic nights. | 1937.6802 |
2299 | ROC_int_01 | 1937.9484 | Yeah. | 1938.1375 |
2300 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1938.3077 | Yeah. | 1938.6341 |
2301 | ROC_int_01 | 1938.6519 | Mm-hm. | 1938.9028 |
2302 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1939.2723 | Um, | 1939.7254 |
2304 | | 1940.0429 | <clears throat> | 1940.3504 |
2306 | | 1940.4887 | that has always been like to me | 1942.5300 |
2308 | | 1943.0419 | one of | 1943.7901 |
2310 | | 1943.8704 | th- just like the epitome of | 1945.4768 |
2312 | | 1947.3526 | what I want to see, I guess, you know. And that's what I want to see in black spaces. | 1950.9580 |
2314 | | 1951.4496 | Um, I loved | 1952.5147 |
2316 | | 1952.7771 | that. It was, um- | 1953.9970 |
2318 | | 1955.4237 | they | 1956.1009 |
2320 | | 1956.4318 | had like the different aspects of hip hop. So they | 1958.8539 |
2322 | | 1959.2616 | would have DJ, | 1960.3421 |
2324 | | 1960.5855 | um, like | 1961.1601 |
2326 | | 1961.3717 | you know, spinning music. | 1962.3255 |
2328 | | 1962.4295 | They would have emcees | 1963.6257 |
2330 | | 1963.7321 | like rhyming and rapping over, | 1965.3562 |
2332 | | 1965.4746 | um, | 1965.7618 |
2334 | | 1965.8457 | the music. | 1966.4827 |
2336 | | 1966.7699 | Then they had break dancers who like, in the summer, when it was outside, | 1969.8396 |
2338 | | 1970.2240 | brought their own linoleum, and like l- | 1971.8587 |
2340 | | 1972.1388 | laid it on the floor and were break dancing | 1974.0820 |
2342 | | 1974.1647 | to all of this stuff, like | 1975.1530 |
2344 | | 1975.6364 | and in the winter, they would continue it. I- | 1977.4909 |
2346 | | 1977.6129 | I don't know if you have ever been in Java's, | 1979.1459 |
2348 | | 1979.5631 | um, downtown, but like | 1980.8173 |
2350 | | 1981.1864 | they have a tiny area where the bathroom is | 1983.3396 |
2352 | | 1983.8705 | and they would | 1984.2759 |
2354 | | 1984.4792 | do this like | 1985.2748 |
2356 | | 1985.6471 | in this very tiny space. | 1987.1790 |
2358 | | 1988.0228 | Breakers would be doing windmills when you're like, coming out of the [bathroom door.] | 1991.0075 |
2359 | ROC_int_01 | 1990.5391 | [<laugh>] [No.] (laughing) | 1991.9148 |
2360 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 1991.3800 | [Like, it was amazing.] | 1992.2995 |
2361 | | 1992.7984 | And, um, | 1993.7203 |
2363 | | 1994.1755 | you know, that | 1994.7251 |
2365 | | 1995.2250 | all fell apart, but like there was | 1996.7581 |
2367 | | 1997.2500 | such beautiful art scene. | 1999.0029 |
2369 | | 1999.4815 | Um, | 1999.8408 |
2371 | | 1999.9543 | I d- have never- you know, I don't write. You know, I haven't g- | 2002.5465 |
2373 | | 2002.6683 | I've never gotten involved | 2003.8220 |
2375 | | 2004.3964 | in the arts, but like | 2005.5288 |
2377 | | 2005.9141 | y- there was even- you know, we could just come and enjoy it, and like | 2008.6931 |
2379 | | 2009.2712 | it- it was just a really beautiful thing. And that's the thi- that's what I've always wanted | 2012.9543 |
2381 | | 2013.6932 | to like see in our spaces. Like the places where we can be creative and like | 2017.0348 |
2383 | | 2017.5690 | share our arts, enjoy | 2019.1754 |
2385 | | 2019.3089 | our arts, you know. | 2020.3633 |
2387 | | 2020.7782 | And so that- that was what I like- | 2022.2262 |
2389 | | 2023.0726 | I felt that that Boulder had the potential for. | 2025.2226 |
2391 | | 2025.3420 | Um, | 2025.7511 |
2393 | | 2026.8562 | and, uh- | 2027.7180 |
2395 | | 2027.8704 | but yeah, I've never seen anything like that recreated | 2029.9720 |
2397 | | 2030.5336 | and- and just any- | 2031.3243 |
2399 | | 2031.4058 | you know, like | 2031.8090 |
2401 | | 2032.8077 | w- | 2033.0479 |
2403 | | 2033.1578 | like I said, | 2033.6837 |
2405 | | 2033.7759 | I feel like we're never good enough to have | 2035.6399 |
2407 | | 2035.9460 | those type of spaces created | 2037.4472 |
2409 | | 2037.6684 | in our- | 2038.2322 |
2411 | | 2038.8704 | in our homes, you know. | 2039.9839 |
2412 | ROC_int_01 | 2040.9922 | So | 2041.5489 |
2414 | | 2041.9901 | now if someone wanted to go to an event | 2044.7400 |
2416 | | 2044.8686 | such as the ones like you described, where could | 2047.2085 |
2418 | | 2047.6564 | they expect to go see those [sort of] | 2049.5690 |
2419 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2049.0505 | [Yeah.] | 2049.4097 |
2420 | ROC_int_01 | 2049.8305 | shows? | 2050.4072 |
2421 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2050.5519 | Y- you know, I, um, | 2051.5844 |
2423 | | 2051.6837 | y- I don't know if you know the radio station WAYO | 2053.4945 |
2425 | | 2053.5773 | that just, um, started. It's a | 2055.2084 |
2427 | | 2055.3113 | local, so | 2055.9875 |
2429 | | 2056.3350 | it's a low frequency radio station. It only has like a four mile radius or something like that. | 2060.5360 |
2431 | | 2061.0028 | Um, | 2061.4342 |
2433 | | 2061.6105 | <clears throat> | 2061.8150 |
2435 | | 2061.9012 | I'm trying to steer away from one-o-four (laughing) cause I just get very frustrated, | 2064.9970 |
2437 | | 2065.0927 | um, | 2065.4709 |
2439 | | 2066.1306 | you know, the community station that plays like, horrendous music that is detrimental to the community, | 2070.5146 |
2441 | | 2070.7748 | and also like the critique of what's going on in the community is | 2073.4685 |
2443 | | 2073.5928 | really lacking. | 2074.2168 |
2444 | ROC_int_01 | 2074.3105 | Yes. | 2074.8256 |
2445 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2074.8739 | Um, so, | 2075.8716 |
2447 | | 2076.2935 | um, | 2076.8504 |
2449 | | 2076.9946 | you know, I've been trying to like, | 2078.3173 |
2451 | | 2078.6152 | um, I- | 2079.0714 |
2453 | | 2079.1718 | you know, I have WAYO as like | 2080.0431 |
2455 | | 2080.1329 | the main radio station, my go-to | 2081.6943 |
2457 | | 2081.7924 | when I get in the car. | 2082.5691 |
2459 | | 2083.0383 | And, um, a friend of mine, | 2084.3043 |
2461 | | 2084.3776 | uh, | 2084.8173 |
2463 | | 2085.0028 | /RD-NAME-3/, | 2085.6471 |
2465 | | 2086.0584 | um, | 2086.4035 |
2467 | | 2086.5879 | he ra- | 2086.9968 |
2469 | | 2087.0739 | i- raps. | 2087.7227 |
2471 | | 2087.7889 | He's also a- a teacher, a- a educator in the school district. And, um, | 2091.1434 |
2473 | | 2092.0643 | he was on, | 2093.1507 |
2475 | | 2093.4721 | uh, | 2093.7322 |
2477 | | 2093.9094 | one of the shows the other day. | 2095.4035 |
2479 | | 2095.8834 | And, um, so /RD-NAME-2/ is a little bit younger than me. He's, I think, a year | 2099.5383 |
2481 | | 2099.6955 | behind me, | 2100.2534 |
2483 | | 2100.3715 | and, | 2100.7807 |
2485 | | 2101.8469 | um, | 2102.1495 |
2487 | | 2102.2996 | I'm thirty just for some context. Um, <laugh> | 2104.6434 |
2489 | | 2105.0476 | but, um, | 2105.7381 |
2491 | | 2106.5727 | so | 2106.9781 |
2493 | | 2107.5406 | he was around, you know, like, in the hip hop scene, um, when I was, | 2112.0607 |
2495 | | 2112.4909 | uh, | 2112.8658 |
2497 | | 2113.2759 | you know, when I was enjoying it, and, | 2114.5785 |
2499 | | 2114.6518 | um, you know, we were coming up around the same time. | 2116.4236 |
2501 | | 2116.8136 | And he was being interviewed by a y- a young | 2119.4248 |
2503 | | 2119.5430 | person | 2120.0549 |
2505 | | 2120.2429 | who is like | 2120.7038 |
2507 | | 2120.9047 | kind of | 2121.2061 |
2509 | | 2121.3656 | currently I think he's- | 2122.3326 |
2511 | | 2122.4508 | I think he was maybe twenty-two-ish. Um, | 2124.6282 |
2513 | | 2125.5335 | and /RD-NAME-2/ asked that question. Like w- you know, what was it like? You know, for us, we- | 2129.0134 |
2515 | | 2129.0951 | we- | 2129.2783 |
2517 | | 2129.3800 | I feel like we had more spaces. Um, | 2131.0927 |
2519 | | 2131.4898 | Dub Land Underground was a space where, um, | 2133.6861 |
2521 | | 2133.7641 | people, you know, in- | 2134.5619 |
2523 | | 2134.6718 | in the east end. | 2135.5005 |
2525 | | 2135.9437 | That shut down, | 2136.8800 |
2527 | | 2137.0005 | um, | 2137.4567 |
2529 | | 2137.6139 | and I think has reopened. I don't know if it's the same or something else now. But | 2140.5406 |
2531 | | 2141.0276 | he was asking like, what- where do you guys- where would you go? And | 2143.5288 |
2533 | | 2143.7486 | so this y- this young guy was saying like, we had to go to open mics that were like | 2147.7262 |
2535 | | 2148.1884 | pretty much poetry open mics, and we had to like go and prove ourselves | 2151.5762 |
2537 | | 2152.0218 | there, | 2152.6990 |
2539 | | 2152.7924 | um, | 2153.2086 |
2541 | | 2153.3859 | not always successfully, were- weren't always accepted. Um, | 2156.3599 |
2543 | | 2157.1505 | and, uh- | 2158.0442 |
2545 | | 2159.3741 | but like hopefully prove ourselves enough | 2161.1434 |
2547 | | 2161.2771 | that we could | 2161.7049 |
2549 | | 2161.8656 | maybe build an audience, maybe | 2163.7169 |
2551 | | 2164.5123 | try to use that space later on. And the- | 2167.0147 |
2553 | | 2167.0986 | the guy didn't specify, but | 2168.1944 |
2555 | | 2168.5194 | d- honestly I don't really- I don't know. I- I've seen, um, shows | 2172.2014 |
2557 | | 2172.7003 | recently at like California Brew Haus, which I think is out | 2175.2155 |
2559 | | 2175.3077 | like | 2175.6873 |
2561 | | 2176.3054 | Ridge | 2177.0287 |
2562 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2177.1468 | [Mm-hm.] | 2177.4605 |
2563 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2177.3457 | [area], | 2177.8409 |
2564 | | 2177.9142 | um, like deep. | 2178.5761 |
2566 | | 2179.2239 | Um, s- | 2179.8054 |
2568 | | 2179.9708 | so, | 2180.6175 |
2570 | | 2182.2097 | you know, there's nothing | 2183.0899 |
2572 | | 2183.2180 | really, | 2183.6376 |
2574 | | 2183.7310 | um, there's not a lot going on, | 2185.3054 |
2576 | | 2185.4709 | um, within | 2186.3445 |
2578 | | 2186.6364 | the city, within like a, | 2188.0785 |
2580 | | 2188.3054 | um- | 2188.5903 |
2582 | | 2188.9838 | a g- definitely not within, | 2190.3006 |
2584 | | 2190.5360 | you know, black neighborhoods. | 2191.5867 |
2585 | ROC_int_01 | 2191.7107 | Mm-hm. | 2192.2591 |
2587 | | 2192.9059 | Mm. | 2193.2262 |
2589 | | 2193.4423 | <ts> | 2193.5094 |
2591 | | 2193.6301 | Okay, and I guess, a more related question, but I think I kind of know the answer, is | 2198.3064 |
2593 | | 2198.6893 | just | 2199.1952 |
2595 | | 2199.3795 | w- | 2199.6443 |
2597 | | 2199.8381 | what are there things t- what things are there to do, | 2202.5761 |
2598 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2202.6990 | Mm-hm. | 2203.1056 |
2599 | ROC_int_01 | 2203.2758 | period. Right? Like what are the different scenes or activities | 2206.9065 |
2601 | | 2207.0483 | people engage in here? What does Rochester | 2209.5378 |
2603 | | 2209.8167 | have to offer that's | 2211.0836 |
2605 | | 2211.2267 | for entertainment purposes I guess? | 2213.1882 |
2606 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2213.7210 | Yeah. | 2214.0472 |
2608 | | 2214.6397 | So, | 2215.0156 |

2612 | | 2217.5263 | there are | 2218.6349 |
2614 | | 2218.7436 | some | 2219.1336 |
2616 | | 2219.2825 | local like musicians, poets, um, | 2221.6420 |
2618 | | 2222.2258 | that I'm interested in. And summers in Rochester like | 2224.6822 |
2620 | | 2225.3771 | kind of | 2225.9354 |
2622 | | 2226.4246 | can make you forget | 2227.3891 |
2624 | | 2228.4598 | when you hate Rochester, [you know.] (laughing) | 2230.0038 |
2625 | ROC_int_01 | 2229.6256 | [<laugh>] | 2230.1220 |
2626 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2230.5214 | Um, | 2231.0580 |

2650 | | 2258.4646 | and at the same time, it's like | 2259.8109 |
2652 | | 2259.8865 | there used to be, um, | 2261.6726 |
2654 | | 2263.4328 | you know, like | 2263.8464 |
2656 | | 2264.0781 | space for the up and coming. And I don't- I don't what that space is. But, | 2266.9150 |
2658 | | 2267.5248 | um, | 2268.4159 |

2680 | | 2298.6230 | you know, locally and- and where that is now. | 2300.3036 |

2683 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2304.9036 | Well I- I was thinking | 2305.9709 |
2685 | | 2306.7841 | a- I mean just in terms of like entertainment | 2308.9587 |
2687 | | 2309.8097 | like the- | 2310.3809 |

2695 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2314.7148 | hockey teams. | 2315.6470 |
2697 | | 2316.4837 | Um, | 2316.7910 |
2699 | | 2318.1951 | um, | 2318.7151 |
2701 | | 2320.4170 | in the summer, like you were saying, that i- that number of festivals that are- | 2323.4907 |
2703 | | 2323.6892 | [that] happen | 2324.4578 |
2704 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2323.7602 | [Yeah.] | 2324.0674 |
2705 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2324.7934 | in the- in the summer here, | 2326.1833 |
2707 | | 2327.6536 | um, | 2327.9892 |
2709 | | 2328.3343 | you know, | 2328.7173 |
2711 | | 2328.9347 | every now and then, like a | 2330.3963 |
2713 | | 2331.0015 | big name | 2331.5815 |
2715 | | 2331.6772 | act | 2331.9139 |
2717 | | 2332.2696 | comes to town. | 2333.1111 |
2719 | | 2334.0428 | Um, | 2334.3147 |
2721 | | 2335.6525 | but | 2335.8440 |
2723 | | 2338.0309 | yeah, | 2338.2034 |
2725 | | 2338.2838 | really I mean there's- | 2339.0851 |
2727 | | 2339.2033 | there- | 2339.3664 |
2729 | | 2339.6514 | not a great deal | 2340.4504 |
2731 | | 2340.7198 | to- | 2340.9798 |
2733 | | 2341.4861 | to do. I- I- | 2342.3678 |
2735 | | 2342.4410 | you know, the- | 2342.8405 |
2737 | | 2343.3156 | the pace is | 2344.0181 |
2739 | | 2344.1434 | slower here than it is in | 2345.5190 |
2741 | | 2345.5947 | New York. | 2346.1667 |
2743 | | 2347.0275 | There- | 2347.2544 |
2745 | | 2347.3915 | I don't know what it's like in California, but, | 2349.2116 |
2747 | | 2349.7435 | um, | 2350.0724 |
2749 | | 2351.1810 | i- | 2351.2827 |
2751 | | 2351.3749 | it's, | 2351.7389 |
2753 | | 2352.0225 | you know, | 2352.4338 |
2755 | | 2352.5331 | it's- it's a little slower | 2353.9210 |
2757 | | 2355.0710 | here. And it- I was- | 2356.1205 |
2759 | | 2356.5422 | when I was listening to you talking about, | 2358.3357 |
2761 | | 2360.7901 | you know, | 2361.0588 |
2763 | | 2361.1923 | coffee houses that used to do | 2362.8040 |
2765 | | 2362.9823 | like things that, | 2363.7954 |
2767 | | 2366.0276 | you know- | 2366.4003 |
2769 | | 2367.4648 | that | 2367.6444 |
2771 | | 2367.9990 | you liked and that | 2369.0626 |
2773 | | 2369.2376 | they | 2369.4787 |
2775 | | 2370.2256 | went away. I- it just seems- it just seems that | 2372.7462 |
2777 | | 2373.6018 | like businesses are | 2374.6135 |
2779 | | 2375.4408 | changing. I mean, | 2376.4951 |
2781 | | 2376.6889 | you know, Java Joe's did it | 2378.1836 |
2783 | | 2378.5949 | for a while, | 2379.3324 |
2785 | | 2379.6869 | and now they don't. I mean things- | 2381.0957 |
2787 | | 2381.5685 | things are changing. I- you know, you know, I just- | 2383.7156 |
2789 | | 2385.7153 | you know, I- I'd like to think that if you build it, people will come, but that's not always true. | 2389.6399 |
2791 | | 2390.5665 | Right. | 2390.8313 |
2792 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2391.0866 | Well yeah. You made me think | 2392.0273 |
2794 | | 2392.4374 | of Rhino Stadium, | 2393.6319 |
2796 | | 2393.7099 | that they put that [right] in the [hood.] | 2395.2217 |
2797 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2394.5287 | [Yeah.] | 2394.6552 |
2799 | | 2395.1957 | [Right.] | 2395.3588 |
2800 | | 2395.8255 | [Right.] | 2396.0420 |
2801 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2395.9598 | [Um], | 2396.3380 |
2802 | | 2396.5464 | but | 2396.7166 |
2804 | | 2397.0594 | not for the people [there.] | 2398.5911 |
2805 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2398.3287 | [No], | 2398.5012 |
2806 | | 2398.5934 | not- | 2398.7400 |
2808 | | 2398.9598 | but yeah, because, uh, and I- and I- | 2400.5416 |
2810 | | 2400.6834 | by and large | 2401.3476 |
2812 | | 2402.1064 | n- | 2402.2671 |
2814 | | 2402.4992 | black people are not | 2403.2981 |
2816 | | 2403.5463 | soccer fans. [I mean-] | 2404.8204 |
2817 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2404.3996 | [Right.] | 2404.7802 |
2818 | | 2405.5157 | You know, I went to, | 2406.8820 |
2820 | | 2408.0402 | um, I don't remember what that thing that | 2409.6598 |
2822 | | 2410.1041 | one-o-four would do, but, you know, big concert. | 2412.3667 |
2824 | | 2412.8630 | And for a while they were getting really good, | 2414.8774 |
2826 | | 2415.1586 | um, pretty decent acts. | 2416.2011 |
2828 | | 2416.4516 | And it would be like a two day, you know, like a f- all weekend thing. | 2418.4730 |
2830 | | 2418.9718 | And I went one year where the headliner was The Roots. | 2421.8205 |
2832 | | 2422.3854 | The [Roots.] | 2423.4964 |
2833 | ROC_int_01 | 2423.2186 | [I went] to that. | 2423.9798 |
2834 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2424.0270 | The Roots. | 2424.8354 |
2835 | ROC_int_01 | 2424.9952 | [Yes.] | 2425.4774 |
2836 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2425.3563 | [And] I don't know if you noticed this- | 2427.1669 |
2837 | | 2427.4506 | they were the headliner, so they were the last ones to go. | 2429.5535 |
2839 | | 2429.6244 | And, | 2430.1027 |
2841 | | 2430.5565 | um, | 2431.1049 |
2843 | | 2432.6185 | at, | 2433.2709 |
2845 | | 2433.6160 | um- | 2434.0888 |
2847 | | 2435.0532 | at one point, like maybe halfway through their set, | 2437.5785 |
2849 | | 2438.0560 | they opened up the gates, | 2439.2331 |
2851 | | 2439.6822 | and they were like, | 2440.6332 |
2853 | | 2440.7278 | w- | 2440.7833 |
2855 | | 2440.9133 | you know, whether you paid or not, you can come in. | 2442.6416 |
2857 | | 2443.1583 | Black people w- | 2444.1983 |
2859 | | 2444.5576 | were like | 2444.9752 |
2861 | | 2445.1265 | coming up | 2445.7214 |
2863 | | 2446.3608 | and like | 2446.8667 |
2865 | | 2447.1999 | turning away like, nah, | 2448.4929 |
2867 | | 2448.5614 | but that's not me, | 2449.2341 |
2869 | | 2449.3902 | like that's not my music. | 2450.3286 |
2871 | | 2451.1279 | And- | 2451.3359 |
2873 | | 2451.5250 | and like | 2451.8489 |
2875 | | 2451.9670 | choosing not to come into a- (laughing) | 2453.8065 |
2877 | | 2454.2272 | a free [Roots show] [like] | 2455.6053 |
2878 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2454.7748 | [a free-] | 2455.3043 |
2880 | | 2455.5028 | [yeah.] | 2455.8101 |
2881 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2456.2766 | crazy. | 2456.8655 |
2883 | | 2457.2272 | Um, | 2457.7323 |
2885 | | 2457.8062 | so- I mean there's, | 2458.7140 |
2887 | | 2459.5039 | you know- | 2459.8561 |
2889 | | 2460.3785 | and that's an- a thing that frustrates me with one-o-four is like that we're pumping this like | 2464.3003 |
2891 | | 2464.5580 | bullshit, | 2465.1489 |
2893 | | 2465.3758 | um, | 2465.7355 |
2895 | | 2465.9223 | that | 2466.1846 |
2897 | | 2466.5558 | is like harmful | 2467.7163 |
2899 | | 2467.9149 | to us as a people. | 2468.8655 |
2901 | | 2469.4848 | Um, and then | 2470.2814 |
2903 | | 2470.5273 | w- | 2470.7045 |
2905 | | 2470.8440 | when like music | 2472.0026 |
2907 | | 2472.8370 | that | 2473.1585 |
2909 | | 2473.2696 | could be like inspirational and like, | 2475.1137 |
2911 | | 2475.3761 | uh, | 2475.6787 |
2913 | | 2476.0096 | you know positive f- and uplifting to us, | 2478.4872 |
2915 | | 2479.3878 | people don't even want it for free. Like | 2481.0499 |
2917 | | 2481.5038 | it's crazy. | 2482.0545 |
2918 | ROC_int_01 | 2482.7270 | Yeah. | 2483.0674 |
2920 | | 2483.6125 | [Yeah], I- I was seventeen or eighteen when that concert came out and I just remembered l- | 2488.2918 |
2921 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2483.6740 | [Yeah, but-] | 2483.9458 |
2922 | ROC_int_01 | 2488.8118 | thinking like, | 2489.6438 |
2924 | | 2490.0126 | why is this concert like so small? The crowd was- | 2493.0051 |
2926 | | 2493.8758 | I don't e- | 2494.3580 |
2928 | | 2494.4762 | like | 2494.8969 |
2930 | | 2494.9599 | a- yeah. | 2495.6294 |
2931 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2495.9207 | Yeah. | 2496.1949 |
2932 | ROC_int_01 | 2496.1981 | I don't even know what | 2497.2855 |
2934 | | 2497.5556 | kind of number I could put at it, but it was small in comparison to | 2500.6667 |
2936 | | 2500.7628 | how large that stadium was, yeah. | 2503.3569 |
2937 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2504.0329 | I will be attending that, um, | 2506.0575 |
2939 | | 2506.1650 | DMX, Uncle Luke, | 2507.2626 |
2941 | | 2507.4186 | Juvenile, | 2508.1324 |
2943 | | 2508.8037 | um, | 2509.2859 |
2945 | | 2510.0465 | which is like | 2510.6374 |
2947 | | 2511.3277 | the r- most ratchet | 2512.6277 |
2949 | | 2512.9114 | mu- but I mean | 2513.8285 |
2951 | | 2514.0176 | I love that shit. | 2515.0017 |
2952 | ROC_int_01 | 2515.1118 | [Yeah.] | 2515.3198 |
2953 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2515.2381 | [And] it's a problem. You know, like, | 2516.6869 |
2954 | | 2516.9682 | but at the same time, I also can be conscious like | 2519.1007 |
2956 | | 2519.1574 | this is | 2519.8476 |
2958 | | 2520.2258 | horrendous. The message | 2521.4625 |
2960 | | 2521.5712 | i- | 2521.6256 |
2962 | | 2521.8596 | in this music is horrendous. Um, | 2523.3794 |
2964 | | 2523.8546 | and I love | 2525.1503 |
2966 | | 2525.3276 | dancing to black music, especially music that I like grew up on. | 2527.9494 |
2968 | | 2528.7554 | Um, | 2529.2305 |
2970 | | 2529.4031 | but yeah, so I'm interested in seeing, | 2530.8217 |
2972 | | 2531.1669 | you know, what that crowd is looking like. It- it's at | 2532.8341 |
2973 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2532.6383 | [Well], | 2532.8069 |
2974 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2532.9345 | Rhino [Stadium.] | 2533.6894 |
2975 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2533.5712 | [can] you call what you do dancing? | 2535.2093 |
2976 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2536.7298 | [Mm.] | 2537.1552 |
2977 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2537.0573 | [<laugh>] | 2537.6044 |
2978 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2537.7001 | <laugh> Oh, you think you're [funny.] | 2539.1420 |
2979 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2538.9895 | [<laugh>] | 2539.6041 |
2980 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2539.4587 | [<laugh>] | 2541.4005 |
2981 | | 2542.2826 | Um, | 2542.7648 |
2983 | | 2543.7481 | yeah and the other thing from what you were saying is, um, | 2546.4294 |
2985 | | 2547.5723 | you know, a lot of what we have | 2548.7731 |
2987 | | 2548.9031 | is | 2549.2364 |
2989 | | 2549.6741 | in the summer, | 2550.4659 |
2991 | | 2550.5321 | and, uh, it's like h- people kind of | 2552.2628 |
2993 | | 2552.3833 | hermit a little bit | 2553.3194 |
2995 | | 2553.4257 | in the colder | 2554.2081 |
2997 | | 2554.3878 | times. | 2554.8298 |
2999 | | 2555.7994 | And | 2556.4754 |
3001 | | 2556.9198 | another thing that c- I was thinking was, um, I went to Mendon Ponds today, | 2560.0829 |
3003 | | 2560.2743 | and | 2560.6029 |
3005 | | 2561.4377 | I- I play rugby, so I've been there to like | 2563.2980 |

3013 | | 2569.5320 | And | 2569.9173 |
3015 | | 2570.7308 | we have so much beautiful green space | 2573.4775 |
3017 | | 2573.5984 | very close to us, and | 2575.0261 |
3019 | | 2575.3192 | even that is | 2576.3664 |
3021 | | 2576.6623 | somewhat inaccessible. You know, like there's no buses | 2578.7896 |

3057 | | 2599.5375 | there are things | 2600.3071 |
3059 | | 2601.8085 | that are attractive, like, you know, like- | 2603.7278 |
3061 | | 2604.1021 | like you were saying, | 2604.7782 |
3063 | | 2604.9483 | Mendon. | 2605.3171 |

3071 | | 2609.2551 | you- | 2609.5009 |
3073 | | 2610.1305 | you can do, but | 2611.0854 |
3075 | | 2611.6386 | you gotta have | 2612.1349 |
3077 | | 2612.5557 | mobility. Y- y- I'm- you know, | 2614.3899 |
3078 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2615.3733 | And [time] and | 2616.4622 |

3084 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2618.7715 | even i- | 2619.2372 |
3086 | | 2619.8376 | even when I | 2620.5660 |
3088 | | 2620.9442 | didn't have a | 2621.6179 |
3090 | | 2621.7053 | car, | 2622.4003 |
3092 | | 2623.0515 | the thought of | 2623.8079 |
3094 | | 2623.9355 | like, well, yeah, maybe I'll go to the lake. But then | 2626.2737 |
3096 | | 2626.8646 | at the same time, I'm thinking, yeah, but to get there I gotta do downtown. I gotta get another bus. I gotta, you know- I gotta lug a- | 2632.9733 |
3098 | | 2633.6427 | you know, a | 2633.9925 |
3100 | | 2634.2620 | bag of crap. | 2635.2690 |
3101 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2635.5573 | Yeah. | 2635.8410 |
3102 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2635.8930 | You know, | 2636.2397 |
3104 | | 2636.3744 | I mean, it's, | 2636.8621 |
3106 | | 2638.2264 | um- | 2638.5337 |
3108 | | 2639.5217 | but at the same time, when- | 2640.7943 |
3110 | | 2641.6830 | when | 2642.0264 |
3112 | | 2642.1008 | we were kids, | 2643.1249 |
3114 | | 2643.8908 | y- | 2644.0326 |
3116 | | 2644.1642 | you know, I- | 2644.5471 |
3118 | | 2644.6393 | I lived over on the- | 2645.6392 |
3120 | | 2645.7384 | on the east side | 2646.6579 |
3122 | | 2647.7133 | over by Central Park. | 2648.9378 |
3124 | | 2650.2008 | We would walk. We walked. | 2651.7278 |
3126 | | 2651.8235 | We- | 2652.0150 |
3128 | | 2652.2655 | we walked everywhere. Uh, you know, we walked to Seneca Park Zoo. | 2656.0042 |
3130 | | 2656.2595 | That- I mean, that's a hike. | 2657.1814 |
3131 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2657.5990 | Yeah. | 2657.8424 |
3132 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2657.9299 | Right. | 2658.1639 |
3134 | | 2658.4972 | /Were-/ but we- | 2659.1803 |
3136 | | 2659.5459 | we did it. W- you know, | 2660.6226 |
3138 | | 2660.7361 | we weren't- | 2661.2667 |
3140 | | 2661.4086 | we weren't held back by, | 2662.7606 |
3142 | | 2664.8983 | you know, | 2665.2717 |
3144 | | 2665.4325 | um, | 2665.7587 |
3146 | | 2667.6071 | you know, | 2667.9097 |
3148 | | 2668.7984 | like the | 2669.3279 |
3150 | | 2669.6967 | energy that you had to put out in order to, | 2671.6547 |
3152 | | 2672.8318 | you know- to get to where you wanted to go. | 2674.8410 |
3154 | | 2675.7203 | But it's- | 2676.1316 |
3156 | | 2676.3404 | it's different now. | 2677.0594 |
3158 | | 2677.1598 | I mean, | 2677.4703 |
3160 | | 2679.7489 | y- you know, I- | 2680.6330 |
3162 | | 2681.2192 | our grandson, I mean, he- | 2682.5429 |
3164 | | 2682.6713 | like he comes over and he spends time with us at least once | 2685.2478 |
3166 | | 2685.7475 | a week, | 2686.4094 |
3168 | | 2686.9444 | i- i- um, | 2687.8379 |
3170 | | 2688.5423 | but- but his focus is like- | 2690.2347 |
3172 | | 2690.9391 | like | 2691.2512 |
3174 | | 2692.6797 | digital. | 2693.3321 |
3175 | ROC_int_01 | 2693.4361 | [Mm-hm.] | 2693.9041 |
3176 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2693.7576 | [Yeah.] | 2694.1027 |
3177 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2693.8096 | [Right.] | 2694.1499 |
3178 | | 2694.3769 | And- | 2694.6552 |
3180 | | 2694.7214 | and, | 2695.1758 |
3182 | | 2696.0173 | y- you know, I mean, | 2697.0526 |
3184 | | 2697.4119 | you know, we do stuff. We- we- we have board games. He likes playing Monopoly, | 2701.0913 |
3186 | | 2701.1705 | right. | 2701.5540 |
3188 | | 2702.1875 | And we do that with him, | 2703.3126 |
3190 | | 2704.6797 | but the- | 2705.2328 |
3192 | | 2706.3674 | the imagination | 2707.5682 |
3194 | | 2708.1922 | o- | 2708.4806 |
3196 | | 2708.5893 | of | 2708.8013 |
3198 | | 2708.9218 | children is really not sparked like it used to be like when, | 2712.2275 |
3200 | | 2712.7050 | you know, I didn't have a box in front of me that I could play with. | 2715.7314 |
3202 | | 2715.9016 | Maybe I- you know, if I had, | 2717.2631 |
3204 | | 2717.5751 | maybe I would've done it. | 2718.7144 |
3206 | | 2719.0028 | But i- | 2719.2534 |
3208 | | 2719.6419 | I had to use my imagination, like, you know, cause I didn't- you know, I didn't come from a- | 2723.7122 |
3210 | | 2724.3410 | a family that had like a lot of money, and so, | 2726.5354 |
3212 | | 2727.0412 | you know, we were shooting each other with sticks and, | 2729.2489 |
3213 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 2729.4054 | /<laugh>/ | 2729.6890 |
3214 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 2729.9817 | you know, | 2730.2890 |
3216 | | 2730.5537 | y- you know, we- | 2731.6410 |
3218 | | 2731.7390 | we- | 2731.8982 |
3220 | | 2734.5384 | you know, what little TV that we did see, | 2737.0023 |
3222 | | 2737.4183 | cause I d- I think | 2738.2361 |
3224 | | 2738.4489 | I- | 2738.6663 |
3226 | | 2738.8034 | there was like only | 2739.3896 |
3228 | | 2739.7442 | two or three s- local stations. You didn't have, | 2742.0379 |
3230 | | 2742.8084 | you know, like a thousand stations like d- like they do now. | 2745.3896 |
3232 | | 2746.8552 | Y- you know, w- y- you know, we'd- | 2748.2317 |
3234 | | 2748.3483 | we | 2748.6627 |
3236 | | 2748.8659 | took what we saw on TV and used our imagination and | 2752.1366 |
3238 | | 2752.3257 | play. | 2752.7228 |
3240 | | 2753.4981 | And, | 2753.7770 |
3242 | | 2754.1986 | you know, | 2754.5153 |
3244 | | 2755.5601 | w- | 2755.7681 |

3248 | | 2756.8743 | do a lot of that | 2757.5078 |
3250 | | 2757.6686 | anymore. | 2758.3020 |

3737 | | 3135.9699 | I was like a cog. | 3136.9769 |
3739 | | 3137.4354 | And so I quit, and I- | 3138.8017 |
3741 | | 3139.6243 | I had been working part time | 3141.2785 |
3743 | | 3141.3471 | for a local ambulance company, | 3143.1423 |
3745 | | 3144.0831 | and when I g- I quit, | 3145.2271 |
3747 | | 3146.4279 | um, | 3146.7907 |
3749 | | 3146.9771 | I- | 3147.1891 |
3751 | | 3147.2553 | I went to work for them full time. | 3148.9060 |
3753 | | 3149.0040 | I- | 3149.2806 |
3755 | | 3149.5501 | I was, uh, | 3150.3159 |
3757 | | 3151.5297 | an EMT | 3152.2436 |
3759 | | 3152.9441 | and, uh, | 3153.6910 |
3761 | | 3155.0667 | um, I worked for them for like maybe three years, and, um, I- | 3158.2924 |
3763 | | 3158.4484 | I left and I- I ha- I- | 3160.1751 |
3765 | | 3160.6290 | there was another black guy who had b- who had worked | 3162.6106 |
3767 | | 3163.5183 | for the ambulance company | 3164.7049 |
3769 | | 3165.3431 | as well. And I just happened to run into him. | 3167.4657 |
3771 | | 3168.6626 | Um, | 3168.9936 |
3773 | | 3170.5867 | um, in seventy-six, g- | 3172.1137 |
3775 | | 3172.3954 | New York State changed their | 3173.7333 |
3777 | | 3174.6457 | public intoxication laws. | 3176.0781 |
3779 | | 3176.3665 | Um, | 3176.7068 |
3781 | | 3176.8873 | it was no longer, | 3177.7714 |
3783 | | 3178.8445 | um, | 3179.2416 |
3785 | | 3179.5962 | a- | 3179.8751 |
3787 | | 3180.1115 | the state would no longer allow police to arrest people for being publicly intox. | 3184.2016 |
3789 | | 3185.2889 | Um, | 3185.6576 |
3791 | | 3186.5086 | and so e- e- um, | 3187.6053 |
3793 | | 3188.1065 | this g- this- | 3188.7502 |
3795 | | 3189.0764 | this guy that I knew | 3190.2016 |
3797 | | 3190.8918 | was working, had gotten a job. | 3192.7024 |
3799 | | 3193.8748 | Um, | 3194.2956 |
3801 | | 3194.8306 | the state | 3195.3553 |
3803 | | 3195.7950 | said that every county had to have | 3197.6198 |
3805 | | 3198.1398 | a sobering up center. Like that's where d- | 3200.0430 |
3807 | | 3200.2936 | i- | 3200.4685 |
3809 | | 3200.5773 | if someone was drunk on the street, | 3202.0239 |
3811 | | 3202.4162 | that's where they had to go. And so I went to work for them. | 3204.5161 |
3813 | | 3205.6507 | Um, | 3205.9863 |
3815 | | 3206.7569 | and I stayed there for five years, and then | 3208.6148 |
3817 | | 3209.1301 | /RD-WORK-10/ had a, um- | 3211.2347 |
3819 | | 3213.2302 | <ts> | 3213.2951 |
3821 | | 3213.3857 | an outpatient | 3214.2075 |
3823 | | 3214.2855 | substance abuse program. | 3215.4185 |
3825 | | 3217.1562 | And I had had interact- interactions with the, | 3220.3103 |
3827 | | 3220.5703 | um, | 3220.9343 |
3829 | | 3221.1896 | the director of that program | 3222.6929 |
3831 | | 3222.8962 | and, uh, | 3223.6952 |
3833 | | 3224.0450 | he was looking for a counselor and he came to me. A- | 3226.0219 |
3835 | | 3226.4852 | um, | 3226.7358 |
3837 | | 3227.4638 | he was familiar with | 3228.1776 |
3839 | | 3228.3620 | like some of the work I was doing, and he came to me and asked | 3230.3948 |
3841 | | 3231.1804 | if I wanted to | 3231.9652 |
3843 | | 3232.0692 | work for him. And so I- | 3233.0620 |
3845 | | 3233.2132 | I went to work | 3233.8656 |
3847 | | 3234.0169 | for him, and I stayed | 3235.0475 |
3849 | | 3235.9552 | with him for five years. And then I went to | 3237.9936 |
3851 | | 3239.4591 | the state had an | 3240.4613 |
3853 | | 3240.6693 | inpatient program here at /RD-WORK-2/ Clinic. And I- | 3242.7907 |
3855 | | 3243.3601 | I went there and I stayed there for | 3244.8776 |
3857 | | 3245.9933 | three or four years, and then I got recruited by another- | 3248.4326 |
3859 | | 3249.7146 | I got a- I got recruited | 3251.1140 |
3861 | | 3252.4518 | by an- | 3252.8017 |
3863 | | 3252.8868 | another agency, /RD-WORK-2/ Corporation, | 3254.9507 |
3865 | | 3255.5795 | and I stayed there for twelve. | 3256.8937 |
3867 | | 3258.1142 | And, uh, | 3258.7383 |
3869 | | 3261.1446 | i- i- | 3261.4755 |
3871 | | 3262.1799 | in the years, I- I had- | 3263.7455 |
3873 | | 3264.5492 | /I'd/ had- | 3264.8801 |
3875 | | 3265.2677 | earned enough | 3265.9343 |
3877 | | 3266.3456 | educational hours that I could sit for | 3268.3690 |
3879 | | 3268.9977 | the state certification. I got my c- | 3271.2482 |
3881 | | 3271.4004 | my certification, and then, | 3272.6434 |
3883 | | 3273.5558 | um, | 3273.8584 |
3885 | | 3274.0380 | after twelve years I left | 3275.2105 |
3887 | | 3275.4949 | /RD-WORK-2/. | 3276.2655 |
3889 | | 3276.9605 | And I | 3277.6601 |
3891 | | 3278.7947 | I got a job | 3279.7174 |
3893 | | 3279.8092 | in /RD-WORK-1/ County, | 3280.7992 |
3895 | | 3281.3712 | um, | 3281.6596 |
3897 | | 3282.8139 | as a manager of the | 3284.3125 |
3899 | | 3284.8467 | outpatient program out there. | 3286.2555 |
3901 | | 3287.8211 | And then | 3288.4026 |
3903 | | 3289.5608 | I, um- | 3290.1471 |
3905 | | 3291.2769 | as I was working in that capacity, | 3292.9835 |
3907 | | 3293.9771 | my | 3294.2844 |
3909 | | 3294.6815 | boss | 3295.2819 |
3911 | | 3295.5750 | a- w- became aware that | 3297.0878 |
3913 | | 3297.4518 | /RD-WORK-1/ County was st- | 3298.5638 |
3915 | | 3298.7245 | talking about starting up a drug court. | 3300.3017 |
3917 | | 3300.9995 | And he told me to force myself in on the meetings to get in there, | 3303.9833 |
3919 | | 3304.0566 | and so I w- I, | 3305.0261 |
3921 | | 3305.2652 | you know- | 3305.5394 |
3923 | | 3306.8537 | I- I was able to like wiggle my way into the meetings. | 3309.7339 |
3925 | | 3309.8746 | <clears throat> | 3310.2854 |
3927 | | 3310.4485 | And I, | 3310.8398 |
3929 | | 3313.1059 | you know- | 3313.3943 |
3931 | | 3313.8868 | I m- | 3314.1696 |
3933 | | 3314.2630 | I must have impressed s- | 3315.5538 |
3935 | | 3315.6554 | people on th- on | 3316.7138 |
3937 | | 3316.8934 | that | 3317.1014 |
3939 | | 3317.7444 | planning | 3318.2928 |
3941 | | 3318.4819 | team, | 3318.8837 |
3943 | | 3319.8726 | um, | 3320.2224 |
3945 | | 3320.6243 | because when they were looking to hire | 3322.3876 |
3947 | | 3322.5909 | a | 3322.7469 |
3949 | | 3323.1204 | coordinator for the court, they came to me and asked me if I wanted a job, and I- | 3326.3453 |
3951 | | 3327.9716 | I said, well w- y- | 3329.0719 |
3953 | | 3329.1925 | well what does it pay? | 3330.1116 |
3955 | | 3330.1777 | And they told me, and I said, no. I won't- | 3332.0589 |
3957 | | 3332.2480 | I won't take the job for that. (laughing) | 3333.3826 |
3959 | | 3333.6237 | And- | 3333.9121 |
3961 | | 3334.0255 | and, uh, | 3334.6401 |
3963 | | 3336.2814 | so they hired somebody else. | 3337.8036 |
3965 | | 3338.5837 | She was there for only a short period of time. She got snatched by Rochester's drug court. | 3342.4799 |
3967 | | 3343.2174 | And then they- | 3343.6204 |
3969 | | 3343.7481 | they came back at me, | 3345.1557 |
3971 | | 3345.8959 | and they had- | 3346.5483 |
3973 | | 3346.9076 | they had petitioned the state f- | 3348.2400 |
3975 | | 3348.3558 | to incre- you know, | 3349.2800 |
3977 | | 3349.4644 | to | 3349.7016 |
3979 | | 3350.1818 | increase the grade level. | 3351.4866 |
3981 | | 3352.4510 | And they came at me, and they said, | 3353.7661 |
3983 | | 3354.4232 | well what about now? And I- I said, well what does it pay? And they told me, and I said, okay yeah. I'll- | 3358.3328 |
3984 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 3358.6003 | [<laugh>] | 3358.9596 |
3985 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 3358.9265 | [I'll] do that. | 3359.5316 |
3986 | | 3360.0139 | And | 3360.2408 |
3988 | | 3360.4630 | so I've been there for fourteen years. | 3361.8056 |
3989 | ROC_int_01 | 3362.8181 | That's great. | 3363.3948 |
3991 | | 3364.2174 | Okay, so | 3365.2772 |
3993 | | 3365.3623 | let me turn to you [for a second] and ask about, um, | 3368.3451 |
3994 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 3366.3036 | [<laugh>] | 3366.9607 |
3995 | ROC_int_01 | 3368.4799 | your profession, | 3369.4324 |
3997 | | 3369.8615 | and, uh, | 3370.5659 |
3999 | | 3371.4121 | also y- a- | 3372.1685 |
4001 | | 3372.5428 | why you- I wanted to ask a little bit- go back to the college experience, why you chose, uh, /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 3377.8990 |
4002 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 3378.0424 | Okay. | 3378.3568 |
4004 | | 3378.5624 | Yeah. | 3378.7894 |
4006 | | 3379.5367 | So, um, when I was in high school, um, | 3381.7965 |
4008 | | 3382.5391 | I've always hated school, | 3383.8226 |
4010 | | 3384.1630 | um, | 3384.6759 |
4012 | | 3385.8204 | it- | 3385.9244 |
4014 | | 3386.7422 | just the way that it's set up has never felt right to me. Um, | 3390.0259 |
4016 | | 3390.1890 | w- | 3390.3355 |
4018 | | 3390.5104 | in the fourth grade, I had a truant officer | 3392.8131 |
4020 | | 3393.0070 | because I refused- so I- I was in- | 3394.9693 |
4022 | | 3395.5011 | this is also gonna be a very convoluted story, but, um, | 3397.7944 |
4024 | | 3398.1607 | so first, second, and third grade, I was in, um, | 3400.5198 |
4026 | | 3400.6785 | a program where we were, | 3401.9857 |
4028 | | 3402.0944 | you know I was with the same | 3403.0659 |
4030 | | 3403.2294 | group of kids for three years. I had the same two teachers. | 3406.0045 |
4032 | | 3406.5178 | Um, | 3407.0095 |
4034 | | 3407.5602 | i- I don't know, it just felt more like family-like. Um, I really liked the teacher- my main teacher that I had. | 3412.0806 |
4036 | | 3412.1551 | And, um, | 3412.6916 |
4038 | | 3413.1050 | you know, I- I liked | 3414.2235 |
4040 | | 3414.3511 | the- the kids that I was with. I was kind of like a- | 3416.4123 |
4042 | | 3416.7101 | a little timid, and so I was able to like | 3418.4266 |
4044 | | 3419.0979 | grow and get to know these people. And then | 3420.7175 |
4046 | | 3420.8735 | fourth grade, | 3421.6559 |
4048 | | 3422.2137 | it was a major shift for me. | 3423.6371 |
4050 | | 3424.2304 | And, um- | 3424.9041 |
4052 | | 3426.1313 | but it was one of those like | 3427.3061 |
4054 | | 3427.9986 | I didn't know p- everybody kept asking, like why won't you go to school? | 3430.9898 |
4056 | | 3431.0554 | Um, you know, I- I had to be dragged into school | 3433.5079 |
4058 | | 3433.6384 | on many occasions. I would like lock myself in the bathroom. | 3436.4087 |
4060 | | 3436.9858 | Um, | 3437.3664 |
4062 | | 3437.4964 | and, you know, they both were working, so | 3439.4772 |
4064 | | 3439.7424 | they had to leave | 3440.7304 |
4066 | | 3440.9006 | and just leave me in there. | 3442.0305 |
4068 | | 3442.6549 | And so finally, like, you know, I ended up with a truant officer who was | 3445.5387 |
4070 | | 3445.7376 | ensuring that I w- | 3446.7068 |
4072 | | 3446.8061 | um, | 3447.0992 |
4074 | | 3447.1913 | you know, | 3447.5057 |
4076 | | 3447.7799 | was getting to school, and still | 3449.0000 |
4078 | | 3449.0709 | i- it was just the whole year was really a struggle. | 3450.8839 |
4080 | | 3451.3921 | And they kept asking, like what's going on? And | 3453.4348 |
4082 | | 3453.5743 | I really didn't have words for it at that age. | 3455.4964 |
4084 | | 3455.6524 | Um, | 3456.0495 |
4086 | | 3456.5790 | but I mean, looking back, I just really don't | 3458.8462 |
4088 | | 3459.0542 | think that the way that schools | 3460.4181 |
4090 | | 3460.6833 | are operated really | 3461.6902 |
4092 | | 3461.9431 | has ever been my thing. So | 3463.4583 |
4094 | | 3463.7164 | I d- start- you know, I started going to school, but, | 3465.6215 |
4096 | | 3465.7255 | um, | 3466.0399 |
4098 | | 3467.3877 | it's weird. I- I know that I'm smart because | 3469.9827 |
4100 | | 3471.0961 | if I wasn't, I j- you know, like, the way that I am with school. I, um- I hated doing homework. | 3475.4013 |
4102 | | 3475.8197 | So, | 3476.2617 |
4104 | | 3476.5643 | um, | 3476.9874 |
4106 | | 3477.8468 | <ts> | 3477.8849 |
4108 | | 3477.9356 | just never really worked | 3478.8126 |
4110 | | 3479.0631 | that w- | 3479.3610 |
4112 | | 3479.5004 | well. I would just kind of get by, um, where | 3481.8788 |
4114 | | 3482.5193 | if I would've ever applied myself, I- | 3483.9616 |
4116 | | 3484.0893 | I probably woulda been a really good student. | 3485.4933 |
4118 | | 3485.9874 | Um, but I just never wanted to. <laugh> Um, | 3488.1506 |
4120 | | 3488.4508 | so when I was in | 3489.3041 |
4122 | | 3489.5570 | high school, um, | 3490.6920 |
4124 | | 3491.1364 | I- I had always been | 3492.1150 |
4126 | | 3492.2592 | good at math, | 3493.0349 |
4128 | | 3493.2807 | um, | 3493.7086 |
4130 | | 3494.2924 | and | 3495.0701 |
4132 | | 3495.3443 | so I wanted to be a math teacher, | 3496.9237 |
4134 | | 3497.0159 | um, | 3497.4012 |
4136 | | 3497.6753 | you know, wanted to be able to teach | 3499.4722 |
4138 | | 3500.3137 | people in a way- | 3501.4199 |
4140 | | 3502.6801 | I felt like I was a different learner, so- and I felt like that would be beneficial for students. | 3506.2026 |
4142 | | 3506.8172 | <clears throat> | 3507.0774 |
4144 | | 3507.1334 | And, um, | 3507.7130 |
4146 | | 3508.6755 | so- | 3509.4768 |
4148 | | 3510.3656 | so that was my plan. Um, I went to my guidance counselor | 3513.2805 |
4150 | | 3513.9640 | and | 3514.6377 |
4152 | | 3515.0277 | he told me s- | 3516.0985 |
4154 | | 3516.3183 | profound advice. | 3517.3540 |
4156 | | 3518.0111 | He was like | 3518.8384 |

4164 | | 3523.0326 | Um, | 3523.3895 |
4166 | | 3523.6968 | so apply to /RD-SCHOOL-2/ and one other school | 3525.6327 |
4168 | | 3526.1082 | was the advice that he gave me. Um, | 3527.9614 |
4170 | | 3528.6256 | so I applied to /RD-SCHOOL-2/ and Buff State. | 3530.6092 |
4172 | | 3530.9117 | Um, | 3531.4034 |
4174 | | 3532.0042 | I- i- I don't think that was really great advice, you know. (laughing) But- | 3534.4956 |
4176 | | 3534.7584 | but he was right. | 3535.3885 |
4178 | | 3535.4511 | He- | 3535.6944 |
4180 | | 3535.7937 | luckily he was right, | 3536.9149 |
4182 | | 3536.9988 | and he really- he helped me, | 3538.4543 |
4184 | | 3538.5772 | um, you know, with writing my, | 3539.7689 |
4186 | | 3540.2606 | my letter to get into /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 3541.5512 |
4188 | | 3541.9199 | Um, but I mean, that was really like, what if I didn't? You know, that woulda really sucked. He only told me to (laughing) apply to two schools. | 3546.9201 |
4190 | | 3547.4070 | Um, | 3547.8467 |
4192 | | 3548.0547 | but yeah, luckily I did get into /RD-SCHOOL-2/, and he was very right. | 3551.2485 |
4194 | | 3551.4309 | Um, /RD-SCHOOL-2/ is a, | 3552.9697 |
4196 | | 3554.7382 | um, | 3555.3551 |
4198 | | 3556.2108 | i- has like this kind of hippyish vibe, very artsy. | 3559.7396 |
4200 | | 3559.8123 | Um, | 3560.3553 |
4202 | | 3561.1535 | and, uh, i- | 3562.2219 |
4204 | | 3562.7613 | like (breathy) | 3563.2766 |
4206 | | 3563.7730 | I got involved with like activism | 3566.1702 |
4208 | | 3566.3049 | while I was there. | 3566.9361 |
4210 | | 3567.2670 | So when I first got there, um, you know, like I said, having come from this | 3570.7303 |
4212 | | 3571.0403 | somewhat of a color blindness, um, | 3573.1464 |
4214 | | 3573.8532 | being in Rochester and not really looking critically at some of the stuff that was going on, | 3578.4964 |
4216 | | 3578.6311 | um, | 3579.0070 |
4218 | | 3579.5081 | in my world. | 3580.2385 |
4220 | | 3580.6644 | Um, | 3581.0851 |
4222 | | 3581.9739 | I came into/RD-SCHOOL-2/. I- my parents made too much for me to be, um, EOP. | 3586.0305 |
4224 | | 3586.7235 | Um, but they have this program called /RD-SCHOOL-10/. | 3590.1371 |
4226 | | 3590.3735 | So it has the mentorship | 3591.8130 |
4228 | | 3591.9217 | aspect of EOP without any money. | 3593.7527 |
4230 | | 3593.9989 | Um, | 3594.3062 |
4232 | | 3594.7033 | so <clears throat> they, um, would house /RD-SCHOOL-3/ students | 3598.3155 |
4234 | | 3598.7079 | in the two oldest dorms, | 3600.4953 |
4236 | | 3600.6631 | um, | 3601.0886 |
4238 | | 3601.3604 | on campus | 3602.0104 |
4240 | | 3602.8165 | which if you look at it, it's like put all the | 3604.3793 |
4242 | | 3604.8544 | people of color in like the two oldest dorms. (laughing) | 3606.8451 |
4244 | | 3607.2162 | It l- can seem kind of bad, but those dorms had the most history, | 3609.9302 |
4246 | | 3610.3321 | um, and it was really beautiful, like | 3612.1882 |
4248 | | 3612.2615 | living in the space that | 3613.4124 |
4250 | | 3614.1270 | the white people wouldn't | 3615.1587 |
4252 | | 3615.2208 | necessarily flock to. (laughing) You know, there were like | 3616.9487 |
4254 | | 3617.1114 | two brand new dorms on campus where like a lot of, | 3619.8656 |
4256 | | 3620.0736 | you know, more well off students, | 3621.2251 |
4258 | | 3621.6790 | they would just pay the extra money to live in those two new dorms. | 3623.6247 |
4260 | | 3623.8564 | So it was really actually very nice. Um, | 3625.7616 |
4262 | | 3625.9317 | you know, living with like black, Puerto Rican, Dominican, like | 3628.0629 |
4264 | | 3628.1391 | um- | 3628.4651 |
4266 | | 3628.6022 | <clears throat> | 3628.8159 |
4268 | | 3629.1553 | and | 3629.6919 |
4270 | | 3630.0063 | in the basement of | 3631.0467 |
4272 | | 3631.4769 | the dorm that I lived in, the- the oldest one, | 3633.3821 |
4274 | | 3634.1986 | <ts> | 3634.2524 |
4276 | | 3634.3422 | um, | 3634.7440 |
4278 | | 3635.1601 | there were like all these divine nine. | 3636.7881 |
4280 | | 3636.8574 | Um, you know, like y- | 3637.6897 |
4282 | | 3637.7582 | there was a lot of like | 3638.8006 |
4284 | | 3638.9013 | black history in- in that building. And so | 3641.2248 |
4286 | | 3641.5846 | that was really awesome. | 3642.6553 |
4288 | | 3642.9248 | And, um, | 3643.5701 |
4290 | | 3644.4876 | so I lived, (breathy) | 3645.6222 |
4292 | | 3645.7948 | um, there and | 3646.8916 |
4294 | | 3647.0925 | there were a couple | 3648.2015 |
4296 | | 3648.5797 | of- like there were some black studies classes that I had to take. | 3650.8966 |
4298 | | 3651.1424 | They were- | 3651.5853 |
4300 | | 3651.6671 | they were sp- specific to /RD-SCHOOL-7/, | 3653.7668 |
4302 | | 3653.9654 | but they were, | 3654.4977 |
4304 | | 3654.7671 | um, | 3655.1500 |
4306 | | 3655.5873 | through the black studies department. | 3657.0552 |
4308 | | 3657.4433 | So, um, | 3658.2738 |
4310 | | 3658.3371 | I ended up having like | 3659.9725 |
4312 | | 3660.2143 | a- a mentor, Dr. /RD-NAME-5/, um, | 3662.4088 |
4314 | | 3662.5105 | was | 3662.9685 |
4316 | | 3663.2984 | my faculty mentor. | 3664.3341 |
4318 | | 3664.3944 | Um, and then I also was assigned a student mentor | 3667.1541 |
4320 | | 3667.7086 | who, | 3668.2475 |
4322 | | 3668.5241 | um- | 3668.9732 |
4324 | | 3669.3727 | she was on my soccer team in high school. | 3671.1175 |
4326 | | 3671.2759 | She saw my name on the list, and she was like, I want her. | 3673.2890 |
4328 | | 3673.3606 | So, um, that was really awesome. This girl, uh, | 3675.5027 |
4330 | | 3675.9451 | /RD-NAME-2/ who I like knew from back home, so that was cool. | 3678.5854 |
4332 | | 3679.7748 | Um, and so I like had this like | 3681.4065 |
4334 | | 3681.4881 | kind of guidance, | 3682.3715 |
4336 | | 3682.4992 | um, | 3682.8845 |
4338 | | 3683.3695 | from these, | 3683.8044 |
4340 | | 3684.0408 | you know, two black women. | 3685.0241 |
4342 | | 3685.5110 | Um, | 3685.9507 |
4344 | | 3686.9533 | and I, um, | 3687.9744 |
4346 | | 3688.1801 | I feel like I | 3688.8017 |
4348 | | 3688.8774 | came in with this kind of like, | 3690.7586 |
4350 | | 3691.8227 | you know, like why- | 3692.6760 |
4352 | | 3693.7303 | not fully, but like kind of like, w- you know, | 3695.3120 |
4354 | | 3695.5011 | black studies, you know like just kind of a like, | 3697.1581 |
4356 | | 3697.7778 | I didn't totally buy in, | 3699.1559 |
4358 | | 3699.3024 | um, initially. | 3700.0234 |
4360 | | 3700.6549 | Um, | 3701.0875 |
4362 | | 3701.5791 | but then | 3702.4372 |
4364 | | 3702.6026 | being a part (breathy) | 3703.6590 |
4366 | | 3703.8062 | of it, | 3704.2154 |
4368 | | 3704.2870 | and like taking these classes, | 3705.8414 |
4370 | | 3706.2527 | and like seeing just, | 3707.3522 |
4372 | | 3707.6335 | um, | 3708.1039 |
4374 | | 3708.9028 | again it felt like an- a family atmosphere. | 3711.1488 |
4376 | | 3711.4514 | And like | 3711.9643 |
4378 | | 3713.0024 | n- knowing the struggles that I had with school, you know, my- probably like my second week of college, I called him and | 3718.2007 |
4380 | | 3719.0378 | I was like, | 3719.6128 |
4382 | | 3719.7771 | I'm done. | 3720.3993 |
4384 | | 3720.5010 | I had talked to somebody, a teacher who used to be a dental hygienist, and I was like, | 3723.6452 |
4386 | | 3723.9454 | yeah I'm just gonna become a dental hygienist. I'm just gonna go, | 3726.2197 |
4388 | | 3726.3284 | you know, | 3726.7445 |
4390 | | 3727.0612 | get certified or something. And he was like, | 3728.6382 |
4392 | | 3728.9124 | no, you're not. Um, | 3730.2337 |
4394 | | 3730.3236 | m- | 3730.4134 |
4396 | | 3730.6644 | you wouldn't go that. It's gross. You don't wanna be in people's mouths (laughing), like you're not gonna do it. | 3734.5720 |
4398 | | 3735.2126 | And I was like, | 3736.1912 |
4400 | | 3736.2952 | well, I can't do this school thing. And he was like, well, | 3738.4986 |
4402 | | 3738.7421 | it's been two weeks, like you're gonna try. And, um, | 3741.3544 |
4404 | | 3741.8201 | so I was like, okay, well I'll- I'll like | 3743.3026 |
4406 | | 3743.6571 | d- | 3743.8344 |
4408 | | 3744.3024 | do this semester, and it's gonna suck. Um, | 3746.4279 |
4410 | | 3747.3473 | and, uh- | 3748.0825 |
4412 | | 3749.2718 | but like | 3749.9518 |
4414 | | 3750.0190 | b- | 3750.1980 |
4416 | | 3750.4183 | bu- you know, I would have those same conversations with people in the department. And like, you know, /RD-NAME-11/ was just like, w- | 3756.5057 |
4418 | | 3756.6854 | um, | 3757.0825 |
4420 | | 3758.2009 | just a very loving and strong presence. (breathy) | 3760.5123 |
4422 | | 3760.7854 | Um, | 3761.2317 |
4424 | | 3761.4113 | and so like, | 3761.9408 |
4426 | | 3762.1937 | that's- you know, I was getting support from | 3764.0284 |
4428 | | 3764.3286 | these people so | 3765.2457 |
4430 | | 3765.6263 | even though I didn't totally understand like, you know, why we needed | 3768.1654 |
4432 | | 3768.2422 | this department | 3768.8792 |
4434 | | 3769.0186 | yet, | 3769.5103 |
4436 | | 3769.6567 | um, | 3770.0420 |
4438 | | 3770.6069 | it was there for me, | 3771.5079 |
4440 | | 3771.5954 | and the people were there for me. And, um- | 3773.3635 |
4442 | | 3774.3661 | and then I started taking, you know, | 3775.8411 |
4444 | | 3776.1176 | s- | 3776.2429 |
4446 | | 3776.6235 | classes that were specifically r- | 3778.0684 |
4448 | | 3778.1438 | related to black studies. /Um/, | 3779.7542 |
4450 | | 3780.0757 | you know, one of the- a- | 3780.8797 |
4452 | | 3781.1208 | some of the more powerful ones for me were, um, like a race and racism class, um, education in the black community. | 3785.9977 |
4454 | | 3786.6032 | Um, you know, you asked about, | 3787.5487 |
4456 | | 3787.6834 | uh, integration earlier, and | 3789.5606 |
4458 | | 3789.9837 | I started like, looking at, | 3791.4327 |
4460 | | 3792.2057 | um, | 3792.5937 |
4462 | | 3793.4849 | our education | 3794.3618 |
4464 | | 3794.5556 | really | 3795.0166 |
4466 | | 3795.6032 | got worse with integration. | 3797.1916 |
4468 | | 3797.4138 | W- we used to be educated by our own people. | 3799.3454 |
4470 | | 3799.6621 | I had an ex-boyfriend who his mom, | 3801.6623 |
4472 | | 3802.0050 | um, | 3802.3974 |
4474 | | 3802.6858 | was educated in the South, and then their family moved up north, and, | 3805.7283 |
4476 | | 3806.6715 | um, | 3807.1064 |
4478 | | 3807.3357 | the expectations were so much higher | 3809.5371 |
4480 | | 3809.6647 | on- | 3810.0859 |
4482 | | 3810.3364 | on- | 3810.6768 |
4484 | | 3810.8446 | w- you know, when a- a black, | 3812.1329 |
4486 | | 3813.0599 | uh, educator's expectations on a black student is much higher than somebody who | 3816.6579 |
4488 | | 3817.1425 | m- | 3817.2867 |
4490 | | 3817.5750 | may have like | 3818.4922 |
4492 | | 3818.7475 | preconceived notions about this child already, and like | 3821.0785 |
4494 | | 3821.4236 | doesn't live in the area where this child is growing up, has | 3824.1589 |
4496 | | 3824.3598 | preconceived notions about the area that they live in, a- and like what this child can actually accomplish. | 3828.5988 |
4498 | | 3828.9392 | So like just being able to look at these things- | 3830.4260 |
4500 | | 3830.7309 | all these things that like, | 3832.0574 |
4502 | | 3832.6767 | you know, they had been kind of on the peripheral to me growing up, | 3835.1637 |
4504 | | 3836.0170 | were starting to like, make more sense. | 3837.8194 |
4506 | | 3838.0298 | And I started to get angry, | 3838.9445 |
4508 | | 3839.0934 | um, and like, | 3840.1670 |
4510 | | 3840.7178 | you know, just like | 3841.2709 |
4512 | | 3841.5971 | pissed off that I- | 3842.3818 |
4514 | | 3842.5520 | with myself for like not having noticed a lot of these things, | 3844.9634 |
4516 | | 3845.4433 | and a- | 3846.1079 |
4518 | | 3846.4081 | also pissed off that this information was kept fr- from me | 3849.3797 |
4520 | | 3849.4719 | for all this time. | 3850.1929 |
4522 | | 3850.4931 | Cause I'm in school for | 3851.6111 |
4524 | | 3851.7340 | twelve years | 3852.5925 |
4526 | | 3853.0487 | and | 3853.6396 |
4528 | | 3853.9705 | they left all of this out. I was like, really | 3856.2851 |
4530 | | 3856.4032 | pissed off. Um, | 3857.3346 |
4532 | | 3857.7506 | so I bounced around from different majors. Um, | 3859.9162 |
4534 | | 3860.7104 | I, uh, | 3861.5003 |
4536 | | 3861.6327 | you know, taking calculus my first semester | 3864.1541 |
4538 | | 3864.3939 | and hating school. | 3865.4080 |
4540 | | 3865.9824 | Um, I had gotten by because like teachers liked me, | 3868.7130 |
4544 | | 3869.4527 | and | 3870.0437 |
4546 | | 3870.4814 | saw my potential. They knew that I got the information. | 3873.2876 |
4548 | | 3874.0369 | Um, | 3874.4647 |
4550 | | 3875.6537 | so I- I g- I got a lot of help, um, along the way. | 3878.6513 |
4552 | | 3879.0937 | But in college nobody's gonna do that. Um, you need to do a lot of work outside the classroom. And like | 3883.0369 |
4554 | | 3883.1763 | pretty much all the work I was doing was in the classroom, | 3885.0437 |
4556 | | 3885.1363 | um, | 3885.4199 |
4558 | | 3885.6681 | you know, during my lower schooling. | 3887.0225 |
4560 | | 3888.1032 | So, um, | 3889.2543 |
4562 | | 3889.8760 | I, uh, | 3890.7506 |
4564 | | 3893.0627 | I- yeah, I struggled, | 3894.0815 |
4566 | | 3894.2285 | um, | 3894.6870 |
4568 | | 3895.3441 | that- | 3895.7223 |
4570 | | 3896.0816 | that first se- I mean I struggled pretty much throughout the entire time, | 3898.8334 |
4572 | | 3899.2542 | but | 3899.5898 |
4574 | | 3899.7766 | when I finally found black studies as like the major that I wanted to do, | 3902.8262 |
4576 | | 3902.9124 | um, | 3903.2933 |
4578 | | 3904.9814 | th- there wa- i- was still some struggle | 3906.6525 |
4580 | | 3906.9787 | because I still had to put in the work. | 3908.6385 |
4582 | | 3909.1349 | Um, | 3909.5580 |
4584 | | 3909.6360 | but it was like something that I actually cared about. Finally like I had found something that like | 3913.0747 |
4586 | | 3913.3654 | I had a passion for. | 3914.6442 |
4588 | | 3914.9278 | Um, | 3915.2970 |
4590 | | 3915.7225 | so that definitely helped. | 3917.4882 |
4592 | | 3917.6017 | Um, | 3918.1051 |
4594 | | 3919.1290 | so | 3919.5143 |
4596 | | 3919.9540 | that's kind of like what led me to black studies. | 3922.1485 |
4598 | | 3922.2372 | Um, | 3922.7743 |
4600 | | 3923.8111 | I, uh- I also d- had a- a minor in women's studies. | 3926.7307 |
4602 | | 3928.3120 | Um, | 3928.8656 |
4604 | | 3929.1894 | and even that, | 3929.9481 |
4606 | | 3930.5036 | um, | 3931.1702 |
4608 | | 3931.7356 | you know, I had more | 3932.7496 |
4610 | | 3933.0711 | of an interest in that, and it kind of | 3934.6906 |
4612 | | 3935.2036 | w- the more I was seeing with black studies the- | 3937.2057 |
4614 | | 3937.3191 | you know, I was leaning more toward that and having some criticisms to like | 3940.1844 |
4616 | | 3940.4964 | d- | 3940.5744 |
4618 | | 3940.8372 | uh, | 3941.1421 |
4620 | | 3941.2627 | women's studies and | 3942.0403 |
4622 | | 3942.1585 | m- feminism and | 3943.0757 |
4624 | | 3943.4137 | the lack of the black voice in those realms. | 3945.4304 |
4626 | | 3946.1702 | Um, | 3946.5508 |
4628 | | 3947.0665 | so, (breathy) | 3948.0497 |
4630 | | 3948.1491 | um, | 3948.7258 |
4632 | | 3949.3081 | <ts> | 3949.3861 |
4634 | | 3949.4818 | I (breathy) | 3950.4126 |
4636 | | 3951.1987 | have alw- you know, I had like started babysitting | 3953.0996 |
4638 | | 3953.5676 | y- at yo- like teenager, you know, like | 3955.5153 |
4640 | | 3955.6363 | /I think is/ pretty normal. | 3956.4730 |
4642 | | 3956.8914 | Um, but I've always like worked | 3958.9126 |
4644 | | 3958.9732 | with kids, | 3959.6987 |
4646 | | 3959.7861 | and so when I came back home | 3961.1620 |
4648 | | 3962.2413 | with a black studies degree and not really | 3964.0557 |
4650 | | 3964.4979 | knowing how to like sell myself | 3966.2047 |
4652 | | 3966.3649 | and, | 3966.8116 |
4654 | | 3966.9251 | um, | 3967.3860 |
4656 | | 3968.0880 | I- | 3968.4643 |
4658 | | 3968.6368 | you know, I worked at the /RD-WORK-1/. I was | 3970.1662 |
4660 | | 3970.3364 | getting into like | 3971.2653 |
4662 | | 3971.3839 | kind of childcare positions again. | 3973.0551 |
4664 | | 3973.3411 | So | 3973.7973 |
4666 | | 3974.2369 | m- jobs that I've had since then, I- I worked at the | 3976.7122 |
4668 | | 3976.8422 | /RD-WORK-6/. | 3978.0076 |
4670 | | 3978.0927 | Um, | 3978.4452 |
4672 | | 3978.6131 | I | 3978.9180 |
4674 | | 3979.2584 | taught nutrition classes, uh, through the /RD-WORK-8/. | 3982.1354 |
4676 | | 3982.7997 | Um, and that was a job I really loved. | 3984.7383 |
4678 | | 3985.0338 | And, um, | 3985.8469 |
4680 | | 3988.7287 | a- | 3988.8777 |
4682 | | 3988.9982 | i- | 3989.1046 |
4684 | | 3989.2894 | so | 3989.7834 |
4686 | | 3990.2821 | that job, | 3991.0953 |
4688 | | 3991.6815 | getting that- that position, it came down to me and one other person. | 3994.5987 |
4690 | | 3994.6744 | Um, | 3994.9297 |
4692 | | 3995.2974 | it was a lot of white women | 3996.2713 |
4694 | | 3996.4202 | in that position, like, um, state | 3998.3542 |
4696 | | 3998.5054 | wide, and just like a lot of white- | 3999.5951 |
4698 | | 3999.7870 | white women who were- who were doing that job. | 4001.6354 |
4700 | | 4002.2997 | And, um, | 4003.2077 |
4702 | | 4004.3683 | so it came down to me and a white | 4006.5174 |
4704 | | 4006.6167 | male, | 4007.1154 |
4706 | | 4007.3636 | um, for the position | 4008.4249 |
4708 | | 4008.9525 | and, | 4009.4512 |
4710 | | 4009.9145 | you know, talking to them afterward, their logic was, | 4012.7419 |
4712 | | 4013.0209 | you know, | 4013.4109 |
4714 | | 4013.6733 | both of them are minorities in this | 4015.2739 |
4716 | | 4015.4299 | position. | 4015.9429 |
4718 | | 4016.0445 | Um, | 4016.3282 |
4720 | | 4016.4771 | you know, having a guy is- | 4018.0423 |
4722 | | 4018.1936 | there's not many at all, | 4019.4062 |
4724 | | 4019.9049 | and there's not a lot of black women | 4021.2597 |
4726 | | 4021.3330 | either. | 4021.6876 |
4728 | | 4022.3098 | Um, so that I think is kind of what- | 4024.1142 |
4730 | | 4024.9037 | you know | 4025.2275 |
4732 | | 4025.3839 | we both were generally qualified, | 4027.3056 |
4734 | | 4027.8304 | um, | 4028.3008 |
4736 | | 4028.9914 | but th- they didn't really know how to decide, and they did like a second round, um, | 4032.6391 |
4738 | | 4032.7383 | like these questions that we needed to answer. | 4034.1684 |
4740 | | 4034.6229 | Uh, my mom (breathy) | 4035.6870 |
4742 | | 4035.8052 | has worked at /RD-WORK-1/, | 4036.9233 |
4744 | | 4037.1147 | um, | 4037.6229 |
4746 | | 4038.0843 | you know, like she worked [there-] | 4039.0392 |
4747 | ROC_int_01 | 4038.7852 | [My mom] used to work there | 4040.0562 |
4748 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4040.1218 | [yeah?] | 4040.3416 |
4749 | ROC_int_01 | 4040.1773 | [for] a period of time. Yeah, she might [know her. <laugh>] | 4042.6926 |
4750 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4041.9126 | [Yeah, probably.] [<laugh>] | 4043.6665 |
4751 | ROC_int_01 | 4043.3025 | [Yeah.] | 4043.6098 |
4752 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4044.1117 | Um, | 4044.5277 |
4754 | | 4045.2841 | and so like I grew up, | 4046.2533 |
4756 | | 4046.4518 | um- | 4046.9151 |
4758 | | 4047.1420 | she's | 4047.4871 |
4760 | | 4047.6715 | r- just r- like connected to a lot of people. Both of them are, | 4049.9360 |
4762 | | 4050.0298 | you know, so like | 4050.5552 |
4764 | | 4050.6864 | I kind of was able to use the connections that I've made, | 4053.4812 |
4766 | | 4053.6041 | um, | 4053.9445 |
4768 | | 4054.7675 | in my time, whether through myself or like through | 4057.1080 |
4770 | | 4057.2593 | /well/ my parents and people I've met along the way. | 4059.0510 |
4772 | | 4059.3867 | So like, and that was one of the- the big things that, you know, like they asked about, | 4062.4032 |
4774 | | 4062.5758 | um, | 4062.9351 |
4776 | | 4063.8124 | you know, | 4064.2119 |
4778 | | 4064.6492 | com- people in the community that we're familiar with, and like my list was just ridiculous. And | 4067.8076 |
4780 | | 4068.1267 | so I ended up getting the position, um, | 4070.0015 |
4782 | | 4070.5405 | and it was like grant funded. | 4071.8996 |
4784 | | 4072.2026 | And, um- | 4073.5239 |
4786 | | 4075.2002 | but then like a few months later, they hired | 4077.1125 |
4788 | | 4077.3040 | the guy that | 4077.9918 |
4790 | | 4078.1884 | didn't get the position. | 4079.2497 |
4792 | | 4079.8974 | Um, | 4080.4150 |
4794 | | 4081.0414 | and the following year we both got laid off cause they didn't have money for us. And it's like, | 4085.2048 |
4796 | | 4085.7674 | why the fuck did you hire this guy? (laughing) You know, like yeah it was | 4088.0630 |
4798 | | 4088.5026 | one of those like, alright okay. | 4089.7271 |
4800 | | 4090.1199 | But, um, <laugh> | 4091.3608 |
4802 | | 4091.8525 | and I'm l- yeah, I really loved that job. | 4093.3633 |
4804 | | 4093.4531 | Um, | 4093.8337 |
4806 | | 4094.9305 | h- a- | 4095.2638 |
4808 | | 4095.4340 | in it, I was able to like go into, um- so we worked with people who were on public assistance | 4100.4796 |
4810 | | 4100.5470 | s- and, um, | 4101.3512 |
4812 | | 4101.4718 | did like an eight week series | 4102.9525 |
4814 | | 4103.0167 | on like how to better- so I was able to like tailor my lessons | 4106.0583 |
4816 | | 4106.4365 | for the groups that I was working with. Um, you know, if there- it was like ha- a lot of diabetes, we would like focus on sugars, and you know, like- | 4111.7581 |
4818 | | 4112.3325 | but | 4112.7154 |
4820 | | 4112.8761 | that was really nice to be able to offer this program, | 4115.4105 |
4822 | | 4115.5097 | um, | 4116.0156 |
4824 | | 4116.8404 | and like, | 4117.1995 |
4826 | | 4117.3792 | you know, hopefully | 4118.1001 |
4828 | | 4118.4972 | have people make small changes, | 4120.1972 |
4830 | | 4120.2663 | um, to help their health. | 4121.5152 |
4832 | | 4121.9264 | So I really liked doing that. Um, I ended up, | 4123.9573 |
4834 | | 4124.3521 | um, on unemployment for a while, and that was really awesome, | 4127.4632 |
4836 | | 4127.6097 | um, | 4128.0399 |
4838 | | 4128.2479 | cause I wasn't paying rent. | 4129.2667 |
4840 | | 4129.4014 | You know, living with my parents (laughing) and getting all this free money. | 4131.7892 |
4842 | | 4132.4061 | Um, | 4132.9043 |
4844 | | 4133.7917 | so from there | 4135.5669 |
4846 | | 4135.6685 | I, um- | 4136.4773 |
4848 | | 4139.3899 | I knew a woman and- and her daughter th- um, her daughter | 4142.6003 |
4850 | | 4142.8886 | a- uh, has cerebral palsy, | 4144.7729 |
4852 | | 4145.4159 | and she was looking for someone to work on some life skills | 4148.6310 |
4854 | | 4148.9004 | with her daughter. And so, | 4150.3518 |
4856 | | 4150.8746 | um, | 4151.2788 |
4858 | | 4151.4537 | she | 4152.1345 |
4860 | | 4153.0658 | was involved with, um, | 4154.7468 |
4862 | | 4155.5788 | /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester, /RD-WORK-5/ Rochester, but it, | 4157.6641 |
4864 | | 4157.8154 | um- | 4158.0943 |
4866 | | 4158.2574 | the agency itself | 4159.2761 |
4868 | | 4159.8699 | works with people with, uh, s- you know, all, | 4161.7750 |
4870 | | 4162.4487 | um, | 4162.8269 |
4872 | | 4163.2693 | different developmental disabilities. | 4164.8058 |
4874 | | 4165.4156 | And, um, | 4166.1275 |
4876 | | 4166.7326 | so I came initially just planning on working with this girl, um, to make a little | 4170.5528 |
4878 | | 4170.7254 | bit of money, and, | 4171.9691 |
4880 | | 4172.1086 | um, | 4172.6073 |
4882 | | 4173.3117 | they told me about another program that they had. | 4174.9043 |
4884 | | 4175.1346 | So I ended up working at /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester for, um, | 4178.2197 |
4886 | | 4178.6853 | two or three years, | 4180.1130 |
4888 | | 4180.4723 | um, | 4180.9195 |
4890 | | 4183.1509 | and that was, um- | 4184.5813 |
4892 | | 4185.4961 | you know, I had never worked with | 4186.4723 |
4894 | | 4186.7891 | people with like, | 4187.3899 |
4896 | | 4187.5743 | you know, different- | 4188.0706 |
4898 | | 4188.2172 | different abilities, um, | 4189.5787 |
4900 | | 4189.6949 | in that- | 4189.9833 |
4902 | | 4190.0779 | to that degree. I was doing a lot of like self care, like, um, | 4192.6898 |
4904 | | 4194.2385 | uh, | 4194.7230 |
4906 | | 4195.1343 | like having to | 4196.0400 |
4908 | | 4196.4892 | like wipe | 4197.0565 |
4910 | | 4197.1794 | people and shower them and- | 4198.4794 |
4912 | | 4198.5929 | and | 4198.8557 |
4914 | | 4199.0944 | never saw myself doing that. | 4200.5552 |
4916 | | 4201.0327 | Um, | 4201.3825 |
4918 | | 4201.5385 | and it really wasn't, you know- my job was, | 4203.5505 |
4920 | | 4203.7278 | um, | 4204.1083 |
4922 | | 4204.3518 | to help them with life skills | 4205.6144 |
4924 | | 4205.7657 | but also like, | 4206.4890 |
4926 | | 4206.6190 | you know, | 4206.9641 |
4928 | | 4207.0941 | they can't do this themselves so, | 4208.5813 |
4930 | | 4208.6948 | you know, I was doing some | 4209.3708 |
4932 | | 4209.4607 | caretaking too. | 4210.1627 |
4934 | | 4210.5929 | But, um, | 4211.2433 |
4936 | | 4212.2952 | that was like really | 4213.4180 |
4938 | | 4214.3308 | eye-opening for me, | 4215.3803 |
4940 | | 4215.5765 | uh, | 4216.0776 |
4942 | | 4219.3494 | cause like I said, like | 4220.2244 |
4944 | | 4220.4253 | I'd- | 4220.8414 |
4946 | | 4220.9572 | I have always felt like a different learner, | 4223.0156 |
4948 | | 4223.0830 | and | 4223.4679 |
4950 | | 4223.5884 | I know this is like- | 4224.2574 |
4952 | | 4224.5316 | working with them was to a more severe degree. Like some of them couldn't speak at all, and so like | 4228.5990 |
4954 | | 4229.2916 | having to find other ways to communicate with them, whether it's like, you know, | 4232.0394 |
4956 | | 4232.3081 | touching with their hands, or, um, | 4234.5635 |
4958 | | 4234.7479 | you know, like, | 4235.2443 |
4960 | | 4236.1756 | um, that was really awesome. And I- | 4237.8306 |
4962 | | 4237.9181 | and I- | 4238.1899 |
4964 | | 4238.3105 | I felt like I could really relate to them, | 4239.9986 |
4966 | | 4240.1215 | um, in ways that other people | 4241.3412 |
4968 | | 4241.4736 | really like detached themselves like | 4242.7953 |
4970 | | 4242.8875 | that feel very different. | 4244.0150 |
4972 | | 4244.2254 | Um, | 4244.5705 |
4974 | | 4245.4668 | I felt like I could like, | 4246.5825 |
4976 | | 4247.5350 | you know, I- I could relate to them, | 4248.8379 |
4978 | | 4248.9584 | um, | 4249.3083 |
4980 | | 4249.4099 | because | 4249.7432 |
4982 | | 4250.5138 | d- | 4250.6840 |
4984 | | 4250.9218 | d- | 4251.1109 |
4986 | | 4251.2399 | despite like | 4251.9277 |
4988 | | 4252.0695 | ho- you know, like how different | 4253.4429 |
4990 | | 4253.6225 | their abilities are from mine, | 4254.9159 |
4992 | | 4255.6155 | I can relate to just like not- | 4256.8069 |
4994 | | 4257.4479 | not f- quite getting it, you know, and like needing some other form of- uh, | 4260.8450 |
4996 | | 4261.8046 | of education and care and stuff. | 4263.4408 |
4998 | | 4263.7197 | So that was really awesome in that | 4264.9985 |
5000 | | 4265.3294 | I feel like I've like taken a lot of those skills in like | 4267.7716 |
5002 | | 4267.9607 | other educational capacities that I've worked in. | 4270.2563 |
5004 | | 4270.8141 | Um, so, | 4271.5729 |
5006 | | 4271.8471 | um, | 4272.4043 |
5008 | | 4272.8710 | from /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester, I started working at the /RD-WORK-4/. There I was working with, um, | 4276.6652 |
5010 | | 4277.4972 | young moms, so sixteen to twenty-one year old, um, either pregnant | 4280.7549 |
5012 | | 4280.9629 | or parenting, uh, homeless | 4282.5210 |
5014 | | 4282.8614 | young women. | 4283.4098 |
5016 | | 4284.0314 | And, um, it was a residential setting, so | 4286.3223 |
5018 | | 4286.6840 | we had | 4287.2702 |
5020 | | 4287.3533 | eight beds, | 4288.1989 |
5022 | | 4288.2947 | and | 4288.9843 |
5024 | | 4289.0853 | you could either come | 4290.0251 |
5026 | | 4290.1008 | pregnant | 4290.5930 |
5028 | | 4290.7018 | or | 4291.1517 |
5030 | | 4291.2238 | ha- | 4291.3396 |
5032 | | 4291.4093 | like having children already. | 4292.6698 |
5034 | | 4293.7386 | And like all of these | 4294.9063 |
5036 | | 4295.6367 | girls and children living in a house together, (laughing) it was crazy. | 4298.8116 |
5038 | | 4299.2962 | Um, | 4299.8804 |
5040 | | 4300.4997 | h- and I was a life skills, uh- like I worked on life skills with them. So, (breathy) um, helping them find housing, employment, like working on employ- | 4307.0694 |
5042 | | 4307.1734 | employability skills and stuff. | 4308.8166 |
5044 | | 4309.2303 | Um, and | 4309.7857 |
5046 | | 4310.2254 | I feel like the biggest part of my job was like w- | 4311.9750 |
5048 | | 4312.1877 | working on like | 4313.0977 |
5050 | | 4313.3767 | relationship | 4314.1898 |
5052 | | 4314.4266 | skills with other human beings, not just like intimate relationships but | 4318.2373 |
5054 | | 4318.7101 | like | 4318.9299 |
5056 | | 4319.0788 | living with | 4319.8825 |
5058 | | 4320.2371 | all these other | 4320.8261 |
5060 | | 4321.3579 | hormonal | 4322.0387 |
5062 | | 4322.1308 | teen girls, | 4323.0078 |
5064 | | 4323.3722 | um, and like not | 4324.3603 |
5066 | | 4324.5612 | fighting each other. | 4325.3152 |
5068 | | 4325.7005 | One of the biggest like w- | 4326.9750 |
5070 | | 4327.1712 | an example that I use of a success story in that job is like | 4330.0388 |
5072 | | 4330.1452 | we had this one girl who, | 4331.2774 |
5074 | | 4331.9416 | um, | 4332.3222 |
5076 | | 4332.4195 | was | 4332.7835 |
5078 | | 4332.9584 | a hot head, | 4333.6415 |
5080 | | 4333.7716 | and, um, | 4334.5090 |
5082 | | 4335.4053 | she had a daughter who was like under a year old, | 4337.8636 |
5084 | | 4338.4550 | and she was having issues with one of the girls who was pregnant. | 4340.7265 |
5086 | | 4341.5968 | And, um, | 4342.5423 |
5088 | | 4342.9890 | it looked like they were going to get into a fight. She had her daughter | 4345.5928 |
5090 | | 4345.6548 | like in her arms, | 4346.5516 |
5092 | | 4347.4056 | and | 4347.8173 |
5094 | | 4347.9851 | she's like having a disagreement with a | 4349.5357 |
5096 | | 4349.6421 | pregnant girl. | 4350.4387 |
5098 | | 4350.7956 | And it looked like they were about to fight. So someone came and did take | 4353.4458 |
5100 | | 4353.5083 | her daughter out of her arms. | 4354.8678 |
5102 | | 4355.4918 | Um, | 4355.9721 |
5104 | | 4356.6363 | and instead of | 4357.2231 |
5106 | | 4357.3046 | punching this girl in the face, she punched | 4359.2638 |
5108 | | 4359.3961 | the refrigerator. | 4360.1884 |
5110 | | 4360.9779 | And like in the past that wouldn't have happened. | 4362.8500 |
5112 | | 4363.2262 | Uh, you know, like | 4363.8715 |
5114 | | 4364.3679 | she had been at our program for, | 4365.9327 |
5116 | | 4366.2499 | you know, like eight months or something at that time. | 4367.9778 |
5118 | | 4368.5120 | And like, you know, | 4369.3988 |
5120 | | 4369.5737 | when I say this to other people, it's like, | 4371.0699 |
5122 | | 4371.1645 | /let's/ | 4371.8760 |
5124 | | 4372.0584 | still so- she- you know, she broke her hand when she | 4373.9835 |
5126 | | 4374.0562 | punched the refrigerator. | 4375.3765 |
5128 | | 4375.4634 | Um, | 4375.8337 |
5130 | | 4376.7390 | but like | 4377.1479 |
5132 | | 4377.9445 | for her that was | 4379.0748 |
5134 | | 4379.1788 | big. You know, like she | 4380.6372 |
5136 | | 4380.8287 | could've had herself arrested. She could've lost her child. You know, like, | 4383.4741 |
5138 | | 4384.0556 | um, | 4384.3799 |
5140 | | 4384.5311 | from the consequences <clears throat> of her actions and | 4386.8736 |
5142 | | 4387.7061 | i- | 4387.8534 |
5144 | | 4387.9149 | little things like that, I- I have learned to see as progress. And the same thing when I was working with people with, um, | 4393.1509 |
5146 | | 4393.2951 | developmental disabilities. | 4394.3970 |
5148 | | 4394.8177 | Um, | 4395.2786 |
5150 | | 4396.2667 | you know, progress comes in all | 4397.7991 |
5152 | | 4397.8839 | shapes and forms, and | 4398.7396 |
5154 | | 4398.9719 | I've learned to like not | 4400.2488 |
5156 | | 4400.7806 | expect so much. | 4401.7805 |
5158 | | 4402.4068 | Um, so from that job, from the /RD-WORK-4/. I- I'm in my current position. So I work at a birth- | 4407.4873 |
5160 | | 4407.6126 | for a birth control clinic, and I do sexual and reproductive | 4410.0831 |
5162 | | 4410.1641 | health education. | 4410.8910 |
5164 | | 4411.4228 | So I give the whole gamut because it really doesn't, | 4414.5345 |
5166 | | 4414.8654 | you know, some p- it doesn't look like | 4416.3226 |
5168 | | 4416.7261 | the same thing. And the constant for me, | 4419.0690 |
5170 | | 4419.5275 | um, is | 4420.4163 |
5172 | | 4420.7378 | being able to- | 4422.0831 |
5174 | | 4422.6717 | to educate people. Like I, um- | 4424.2483 |
5176 | | 4424.8184 | it looks very different in different positions, and I don't know like what, | 4428.2675 |
5178 | | 4428.8443 | you know, the end goal for me | 4430.2271 |
5180 | | 4430.3311 | is gonna be. And like | 4431.2321 |
5182 | | 4431.6244 | I- I really can't see | 4433.0167 |
5184 | | 4433.5608 | how to make all of this experience (laughing) like into a certain position. Um, | 4436.9862 |
5186 | | 4438.0996 | but I- I like to | 4439.1680 |
5188 | | 4439.2531 | be able to educate people, um, i- | 4441.0210 |
5190 | | 4441.0860 | and | 4441.2887 |
5192 | | 4441.4919 | expand people's, | 4442.4162 |
5194 | | 4443.2250 | um, | 4443.6174 |
5196 | | 4443.7923 | understanding of things that they may not have access to. Like just like for me, | 4446.9199 |
5198 | | 4447.5085 | I was very frustrated | 4448.5887 |
5200 | | 4449.2415 | to get this education that | 4450.6479 |
5202 | | 4450.7827 | I had never had access to, and so I- I try to like make the access | 4454.2176 |
5204 | | 4454.6104 | in the positions that I hold, | 4455.7048 |
5206 | | 4456.1232 | um, | 4456.4707 |
5208 | | 4456.6361 | you know, like | 4457.1160 |
5210 | | 4457.4946 | greater. Cause I- I feel like esp- you know, when I was doing that /RD-WORK-2/ Rochester job, | 4460.4516 |
5212 | | 4460.7097 | there are a lot of people who were l- | 4461.6552 |
5214 | | 4461.8041 | who just kind of looked at | 4462.5699 |
5216 | | 4462.7803 | these people like- | 4463.5627 |
5218 | | 4464.6315 | like there's no h- hope. You know, like | 4466.0852 |
5220 | | 4466.2058 | this is just | 4466.9106 |
5222 | | 4467.2368 | their life, and, | 4467.9199 |
5224 | | 4468.5298 | you know, I wouldn't want somebody- I wouldn't want that | 4470.5624 |
5226 | | 4470.6812 | to be it for me, so | 4471.8337 |
5228 | | 4472.7130 | that's what I- that's what I try to do. So in my current position, um, I really- | 4475.4254 |
5230 | | 4476.4757 | I have a lot of fun, um, | 4477.9318 |
5232 | | 4480.8865 | it's- some people get really uncomfortable with like the whole, you know talking about sex. For me, | 4485.1326 |
5234 | | 4485.9363 | I like to be able to normalize things that seem very taboo, | 4489.2593 |
5236 | | 4489.3799 | uh, to people. That's- | 4490.4424 |
5238 | | 4490.6315 | that's been really awesome for me. | 4491.8559 |
5239 | ROC_int_01 | 4492.6964 | Okay. | 4493.1644 |
5241 | | 4493.3961 | Cool. | 4493.8688 |
5243 | | 4494.3179 | Well, | 4494.7718 |
5245 | | 4494.9419 | okay, I have | 4495.7551 |
5247 | | 4495.9725 | like, uh, my last question- it's been so great [talking to you both.] | 4499.7648 |
5248 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4498.8949 | [<laugh>] | 4499.9444 |
5249 | ROC_int_01 | 4500.1666 | It's really been enlightening in different ways. | 4502.5757 |
5251 | | 4502.9114 | Um, | 4503.4456 |
5253 | | 4503.9750 | so I always ask about language at the end, and whether or not you, um, | 4509.0201 |
5255 | | 4509.9041 | feel like Rochesterians have an accent | 4512.8285 |
5257 | | 4512.9561 | or have been told once you left, [you know, Rochester], | 4516.0616 |
5258 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4515.0044 | [<laugh> Yeah.] | 4515.8365 |
5259 | ROC_int_01 | 4516.1290 | hey you sound | 4517.2240 |
5261 | | 4517.3516 | x kind of way or, | 4518.4947 |
5263 | | 4518.6436 | you [know, this kind] of way. | 4519.9850 |
5264 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4519.0112 | [Yeah.] | 4519.3894 |
5265 | ROC_int_01 | 4520.5571 | So yeah, | 4521.1543 |
5267 | | 4521.2891 | uh, do you think Rochesterians, um, have a r- | 4524.5857 |
5269 | | 4524.8646 | an- have an accent, whether or not you can perceive it | 4527.3371 |
5271 | | 4527.6358 | is another story [but] | 4528.6474 |
5272 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4528.4394 | [<laugh>] | 4529.3518 |
5273 | ROC_int_01 | 4528.8649 | [do other] people tell you [maybe?] | 4530.3635 |
5274 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 4530.0799 | [Yeah, I don't] know about you, but | 4531.1814 |
5275 | | 4531.7629 | I- | 4531.9520 |
5277 | | 4532.0890 | I've been told by a number of people that I | 4534.2314 |
5279 | | 4535.5126 | have | 4535.8530 |
5281 | | 4537.6872 | the Rochester accent. It's, uh- | 4539.4600 |
5283 | | 4539.7492 | it's more New England | 4540.7184 |
5285 | | 4541.1769 | like we- | 4541.5173 |
5287 | | 4542.3872 | New York, (atypical pronunciation) n- [n-] | 4543.3799 |
5288 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4543.2712 | [<laugh>] | 4544.1824 |
5289 | ROC_se0_ag3_m_02 | 4544.1984 | not- | 4544.4185 |
5291 | | 4545.2269 | but yeah, | 4545.6784 |
5293 | | 4545.8121 | um, and my relatives | 4547.1926 |
5295 | | 4547.5972 | in New Jersey who also have accents | 4550.2233 |
5297 | | 4550.8183 | tell me | 4551.3997 |
5299 | | 4551.8843 | that I | 4552.3736 |
5301 | | 4552.9389 | talk- | 4553.3030 |
5303 | | 4554.0806 | that I, | 4554.3643 |
5305 | | 4554.5936 | you know- | 4554.8748 |
5307 | | 4555.4230 | they can hear it- | 4556.0730 |
5309 | | 4556.2408 | that they can hear it. | 4556.8784 |
5311 | | 4556.9931 | I don't know about you. | 4557.6835 |
5312 | ROC_se0_ag2_f_01 | 4558.1651 | Yeah. Yeah, my mom is from Jersey, | 4560.1223 |
5314 | | 4560.3555 | um, and, uh, | 4561.3601 |
5316 | | 4561.8660 | I think | 4562.2205 |
5318 | | 4562.3884 | both of tho- like we have- | 4563.7645 |
5320 | | 4564.1663 | it's more subtle. | 4564.8459 |
5322 | | 4565.2300 | But definitely like, when I went, | 4567.1663 |
5324 | | 4567.3247 | um, | 4567.8967 |
5326 | | 4568.3340 | to school, so /RD-SCHOOL-2/ is like between Albany and New York City, | 4571.4522 |
5328 | | 4571.9939 | um, | 4572.4095 |
