- Terry Lewis Interview, March 21, 2013
- Date
- March 21, 2013
- Creator
- Person responsible unknown
- Description
- SUMMARY: Terry Lewis spent 10 years living as a homeless person in Washington, DC. He now lives with his mother in Maryland and has employment. He was a resident of the 2nd and D shelter under Mitch Snyder’s leadership when the shelter entered into its covenant with the federal government. In this interview, Terry describes what it was like to live in various shelters in the city, as well as what it was like to spend nights on the street. He also offers his view on why people fall into homeless and, perhaps more importantly, how he thinks they may be able to get out of it. Terry’s suggestions include opinions about self-motivation, the purpose of shelters, and what the government should be doing to help people help themselves. PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES: The interviews conducted as part of the DC Oral History and Social Justice Project record how unhoused residents of the greater DC area view the history of homelessness – how did homelessness become such an entrenched part of the city. The interviews will be used to create critical dialogue among people who are currently unhoused in Washington, DC, and then they may be used to assist future advocacy efforts.
