Title: Joan Thomas Interview, September 14, 2019
Date: September 14, 2019
Creator: Dan Kerr; Joan Thomas
Description: Joan Thomas has lived in the same house on Varnum Street since 1949, and in the Petworth neighborhood since 1945. The Petworth she initially encountered was significantly different that the Petworth of 2019—she recalls the segregated establishments and schools and, in particular, the date when every white family on her street, save one, moved out rather than remain in an integrated neighborhood. Her recollections include the integration of the neighborhood, her local/national political activism, and her hopes for the future of the Petworth community.

Title: LaShawn Lewis Interview, February 29, 2020
Date: February 29, 2020
Creator: LaShawn Lewis; Dominique Hazzard
Description: LaShawn Lewis, born and raised Washingtonian, discusses her experience volunteering for a variety of gardening and food justice organizations, including DC Green and Friends of Aquatic Gardens. She mentions her neighborhood in Ward 7 represents a food desert, with only a single grocery store in the community and many residents struggling to access quality food sources. LaShawn expresses the desire of many individuals in her community to have greater control over their food supply and more choice in the food that they put in their bodies. She credits programs like DC Produce Plus and Produce RX for providing educational resources and access to quality, locally-grown food, to DC residents with preexisting conditions. Farmers Markets, like the market at Deanwood, provide further opportunities for DC residents within food-scare neighborhoods to access quality local produce. More than merely a market, however, LaShawn remembers being comforted by the broader market community when she lost her brother. Having gone without food and other necessities during periods of her childhood, LaShawn is committed to volunteering to help her local community take control of their food systems and is inspired by the many Black women in her community who have successfully begun gardening within their own homes.

Title: Mara Johnson Interview, September 14, 2019
Date: September 14, 2019
Creator: Carmen Bolt; Mara Johnson
Description: Mara Johnson visited the Petworth neighborhood frequently while growing up, visiting a number of family members. She became a Petworth resident in 1973, when she moved into the home her aunt had lived in during Johnson’s childhood. Johnson notes a number of changes in the neighborhood over the past several decades, namely the transition from a predominantly black neighborhood to a more diverse community comprised of individuals from all over the world. Changing demographics have brought new commerce, and while she reflects fondly on the longtime businesses that no longer exist, she is excited by the variety of options—especially culinary—that are now available.
