Abstract
Description
Marrow provides a walking tour for the interviewer and discusses many of the different areas along the way. The houses along their walk are discussed including the history of the house, what is there currently, and the various occupants over time. The houses along Ray Street are discussed and the house that Marrow grew up in is detailed as well as other properties in her family. White Clay Creek is discussed and its role in the community (it provided water, a swimming hole, there were several houses along the creek, and they picked berries from the area). The strict division in Newark between the white and black communities is discussed as well as race and prejudice in the area. Various stores, restaurants, buildings, and farms that used to me frequented are discussed with regard to their location and ownership. The community’s opinion on the University purchasing much of the community and essentially breaking it up is also discussed.
