From the upcoming history of Skinker-DeBaliviere: In her interview, Liz Wright Johnson said, “The neighborhood was a great place to grow up… we saw a lot of things that were hard, racially, but also watching people try to fix those things and trying to bring the community and the neighborhood together, too.
