This research is dedicated to the people of Ferguson, Missouri. May your inspiring commitment and enthusiasm illuminate the unfamiliar road ahead as you continue to demonstrate the true meaning of community. “…it is a neighborhood…There are people that care about one another…A neighborhood is first a place where I live. This is my dwelling place. This is where I rise and shine.” “Loving where you are, loving it with all its quirks. It’s hard to explain the feeling…From the very beginning we had felt like we belonged here.” “Community—when you get those first four letters…put them to the side…put a dash after the last “m” you have the word ‘unity.’ That’s what we are. We are unified.” “…we bought this house…we liked the house…When we found out that we loved the community …we were…beside ourselves…
We were part of…history because this…is an older community.” “I haven’t moved more than two yards away in 69 years…I’m either very blessed or very boring…I’m always told that I am very blessed.”
