Title: Donna Rattley Washington Interview, September 14, 2019
Date: September 14, 2019
Creator: Carmen Bolt; Donna Rattley Washington
Description: Donna Rattley Washington, a proud third-generation Washingtonian, grew up in Brightwood, and reflects on the change she’s seen occur in the community over her lifetime. The most stark difference, she notes, is the presence of white people in the neighborhood, a result of redevelopment. Washington sees the changes that have occurred as largely positive, bringing an influx of new people and businesses to revitalize the neighborhood. She does, however, note the importance of acknowledging the displacement that often accompanies gentrification.
