Communities meeting
Images from a presentation created by Grier Heights community organizer Alejandro Galvez.
The most interesting component of that whole process for me was people just taking an opportunity to just talk to one another.
- Willie Ratchford
When Grier Heights' black and Latino residents actually talked, they found that they shared many cultural values. As they began to see each other as people, anger faded.
As the project progressed, black and Latino residents took language classes, launched health drives, shared holiday celebrations, and planted a garden.
