Abstract
Description
Interviewee Derrell Barnes talks about where he went to school, the closing of businesses and schools, and how he felt a sense of community in the Cleaborn Homes neighborhood. Despite the crime spike in the 90s, he says he still felt safe in the community. He also talks about the stress of the neighborhood closing.
