Beverly Jones

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH:

“My name is Beverly Jones. My last name was Wilson when we moved into the community. I was in the second grade at the time. I remember a sign that said Western Hills. It wasn't a long after that, that the community was rezoned to Westwood. And I was there until I graduated from high school. That community that we grew up in, there was one Black family on the street and six months later, we moved in. It was a German community. On one part of the street, there was a barber shop, to our left across the street, there was a beauty salon. We had a Dairy Queen. We also had Schwartz Food Market.”
