ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH:

“ My name is Geneva Clark. East Westwood became the last neighborhood the 52nd neighborhood in this community or in the city of Cincinnati. speak volumes to the power of the people in this community. When the people felt slighted here, when it was one Westwood and the people at East Westwood felt slighted. They didn't sit around and just cry about it. They went and petition the city to form their own neighborhood. And thus, birth is Westwood. And to me, that's power within itself.

That's my desk when I'm here. And I sit at that computer and I sign the kids in I sign them out, I talk to them, I play with them. I'm just excited about my opportunity to be a part of hopefully, developing children and being a part of developing whatever's next to happen here in the neighborhood.

I have joy that I'm able now to serve in a place that I've always wanted to serve.”
