Date: September 14, 2019
Creator: Dan Kerr; Reginald Thomas; Roosevelt Daniels; Michael Vanison
Description: Reginald Thomas, Roosevelt Daniels, and Michael Vanison grew up together in the Petworth neighborhood.

The three shared recollections about the way the community has changed, naming stores that no longer exist but still provoke fond memories. Additionally they recall difficult moments such as the riots surrounding the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination. Their strong ties to the community led them to form the Petworth Reunion Committee, which seeks to commemorate the Petworth of their youth.
