 Hi, I'm Molly Baker with the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Hope Crew Program. It's an acronym for Hands-On Preservation Experience and we're here today at McDonough 19 working with local youth teaching preservation trades. This experience for students working with Hope Crew has been exactly what we want students to do, take their skills, go to a job site, actually put their hands on some tools and do some work in the real space outside of the lab. I never learned how to install stairs and it makes me want to go out there and you know work for more preservations and treats and stuff like that and you know just be able to just be able to put in. This was a school that was all white, it was segregated when Leona Tate, Gail Etienne and Tessie Priebus integrated it. To have Leona Tate, one of those three little girls now own this building that is named after a slaveholder is really the pinnacle of my career in what I do. We were asked to take a seat on the bench that was like right on the outside of the hallway and we practically sat on that bench half the day before they decided to even place us in the classroom. At three o'clock their parents had pulled them out. They were all gone and that left the three of us in this building for a year and a half for ourselves. Leona Tate is a good person and I really appreciate her for giving me this opportunity and letting me understand you know what she was going through at the time because immediately you know start looking at stuff differently like you know we gotta appreciate you know the people really be putting a lot on the line to open up doors for us. Well if I can pull every kid on the corner to work with hope proof I will do it. We'll find a way.
