what jeanette says
lake meadows had the first high rise in the black community of chicago 
imminent domain was used by the government, but overcrowding was rampant
they had kitchenette apartments

I think this can be a place for memory dates, someone younger type in and someone older remember
modern nyc is revitalizing kitchenette apartments for the highest rent in NYC

Questions and answers

Did any home movies from pullman porters?
james e taylor, but it isn't fully digitized

what did she cook in the gold pants?
She made apple pie in the gold pants, any time apple pie or peach pie. the family canned the fruit all year.

I wonder how many other black communities , that didn't have as many home movies, that have a lost existence? 

any plan of extending beyond south side chicago, i comprehend the task isn't quick or the ability to find content easy

dr helen hash

a pediatrician and practiced in st louis missouri
she was the first african american physician on staff at washington university

jeanette says, women in her memory didn't smoke in front of their father's or in public
but gold pants said, that is my kitchen and I will smoke in it.

have you guys asked people from countries where the doctor traveled outside the usa to look at her movies to get an idea of where these places are?
thank you all, the legend Jeanette, Justin and Sabrina for making this happen, Jacqueline for starting this organization and all for making this fun
