Dorothy is 84 years old. She was born in Lynchburg, Virginia. Her family moved North in 1952.

On why her family moved: “Because of work and better schools for my children. And supposed to been better housing. You were supposed to be able to live where you wanted, but that was very untrue. You just couldn’t move where you wanted. You would see places in the newspaper, and you’d go there, and they had a little excuse.”
