Flowers from Fayette

In the fall of 2024, longtime residents, community organizers, and neighborhood partners sat down with Ms. Edna Manns-Lake to share their memories of the neighborhood and their experiences working with Fayette Street Outreach. These stories are deeply personal, and for many, span decades, if not generations. Together, the interviews offer a small peak into the history of the Fayette Street neighborhood, as recalled by folks who lived through decades of momentous change and worked to build a strong and resilient community.
