00:00Los Angeles Watts is legendary. I wasn't born, I was in the 60s. My family moved from Louisiana, including my mother, sometime around the late 60s, something like that.
00:21Well, that's not true. Early 60s. And yeah, and they moved to Watts, which is kind of what they relegated a lot of the blacks to, apparently, that were coming from the South.
00:38So yeah, when I think of Watts, I think of my grandmother's house, going to school there, our culture. I think of my homeboys, like my older friends. I wouldn't say friends, like the older people that I grew up around.
00:56So I think about, you know, gangs, but it wasn't the gangs the way people try to make it now. They still had a, they have respect. You know, the people would say Miss So-and-so, who's actually, you know, they were nicer, which is crazy. But yeah, it just makes me think of a community that doesn't really exist anymore.
