They had it in order to. Win people would come down and they hate day sit down. And was aware and asked. When we finish tasks we were. And across the street to mark church here 1st Baptist Church. Thats where we have graves. Right here for this baptist you. Know what its really when they get to a point to look at their show. The research a community is very valuable because its close to downtown and also close to the chase camp and. What do you do do you protect them to protect try to protect the people that are already there and the shock shoes that are already there and the history thats already there are do you just not. Whatever buys property well milly come in and you know tear up the neighborhood that you knowing you up. We got involved with the restraint when the case 1st bought property there because the neighborhood got exercised and began to get organized and we started working with them and eventually the neighborhood decided that they wanted to try to get their due to their neighborhood locally doesnt it as a Historic District and the important thing about local historic does a nation is that it protects the neighborhood this is a map for the proposed re street local Historic District. This is the hill 1st Baptist Church at the corner of reese and polk street and that is where we have our Community Meetings its a very old and and significant africanamerican church the property that the k. S. Bought is a a large l. Shaped lot here which is just south of hank street so their house will be here theyve got a parking lot here they also bought these 2 lots here the 2 houses here they were roughly 100 years old a little more a little less but still they appeared to be pretty sound structures k. A. Said that they were not what they were about all of them but i dont know if we can believe that or not this 237 Church Street this is the house that dr hurley lives who was hope by the hearts mother and her house is now the only historic residential house from the number one. If we dont get this local has torn down the nation for development for going to start popping up all over the place the 2 homes that were purchased by k. They are no longer standing as soon as we realized the houses were vacant on the other or contacting a me. So i was sort of about logging with care a jot came with neighborhood meetings and he said in here and he you know when asked he was supported we want to be part of the neighborhood we want to support the neighborhood and then to turn around and do that like a car and told him. You move i was given the car to see a call but of course they didnt tell us that it was the houses were going to be demolish so at best kind of trickery making me kind of leave me ok i have a lot of power they do they get over everybody they do what they want to. Know is true in affects you and your family most of them affects mine because your mother is right but. But you know sometimes you think you find lives and that when i came to the 1st meeting our recalls pat allen across maine and those return to boston do not sit out there tell us absolute last they lied to us i mean grin in his face and im not going to grin and his face hes not in a better than me and i guess that maybe one of my downfalls i dont come to suck up to you just because you know youve got the authority. To try to make a fly on a Confederate Flag just to show them sitting in this thing. I remember at the church where they showed us the plans to do with the the architectural adia for the home that they were going to bill and i question that. Was different about this when it would be on the plantation you know this is the same confederate house confederate everything that that this picture shows us is a hurtful time by africanamericans. Is hard to just bear that history of hate and dislike and you dont even know the people and now you want to live in the same neighborhood with us. Pretty much everyone has the you know we were exactly welcomed with open arms into the neighborhood and. We did while we didnt want to leave our 1st location in the 1st place either and told us we had to move. The guys that are in control the were in charge of. The leaders of the adult leaders. Made it possible for us to have a house closer to the school. My uncle my mothers brother was. Back in the glory days so. I ended up getting a bill through fraternity its been a wonderful wonderful experience for. Some 1st year i was 12 i shot him with the blue. Those are my 2 grandfathers the on blue passed away in 2000. And he still. And this is our al well he had a rebel flag on this account. And he was the thing that doesnt bother me for having a rebel flies because the the the reason the civil war was fall and was to keep slaves which it wasnt to hurt black people because yeah they were not they were part of society and they were slaves it wasnt because the reason the way we fought the war was because we hated black it was because we wanted to keep an institution going of oppressing black people but it was a owes all about money its basically what im trying to say it wasnt about oh we hate white people lets make sure they dont ever have a real job in their home. To me having that little flag in my house on a whole host is really big. You know. Thats just out i think a lot of people would agree with me. Oh. Brother was it unless the mothers lower started saying only although it will probably fruit under the force the mention of selflove can sure see the only your presence i think a man of whom i dont really overall virginia was. In the cause of the race of the 1st that youre the dame a southern girl and so as for deal pleasanter it was in the us when dexys play center itself on the wound up the Service Nurse has the abilities of jackson and davis and the nurse all those less fortunate unreconstructed get used that the south has truly risen the. Writers they were yeah youre right youre the salad were. All. 6 the whole reason that we have old south parade is that at that period of time. A man like a gentle southern gentleman had to be a nice person and had it all he had was his reputation i did some thinking about this and thought about you know why this is how it is you know you have was your reputation so being a gentleman was a necessity to me being a gentleman is seamless and its its just the way i was raised is just the way i was taught to be. I know nothing else but to be nice to everyone that i know and just do what i think right and that entails you know and you know Holding Doors for ladies at all times like you know having nice table manners yes maam no maam shaking hands looking people in the. Those are the things that come to my you know. I tie myself in the mix something. People always thing the morning a problem to me and then you know i work with in the middle of there trying to do the same thing to bring about change or i kind of take it on my cell. All right were ready now to move to our public hearing and deliberation on the recommendation from the Historic PreservationCommission Regarding the dozen nation of the restricted areas a local Historic District. Madam mayor and commission i stand before you today to ask you see approve the local historic designation for re sank all for restraint we have worked really hard to see you see this coming to fruition there are only 10 historically africanamerican districts across the state we would like to be a let the 11th we the restraint Community Want to say and what we what our Community Looks like and feels like we are passionate about our community and we will light positive Single Family growth so we are asking for the local historic designation thank you.

Powered bottles like right there in from our 1st day at my lawn so i dont know but i feel the tension in the air just when i drive through the neighborhood and theyre looking at me and im looking at them. But i dont want them to just say well no one ever approached us or we would exclude it was even though they are stakeholders in the community the only reason only way theyre going to act is if they are. I was a force but they were. Brought in to participating i dont know how its going to match but. We just dont see how a war this neighborhoods those organizations that theyre groomed to participate in Community Events no i think with a political courage you know i think they know that you know theres the side that leaves you know all of their beer bottles out on game day and then theres the side that you know will be very light and respectful so let me just go ahead and send them a copy of the fire send them a.
