Notes from visiting the Roxbury Neighborhood, specifically the former home of Ella Little-Collins and, for a short period during his developmental years, her brother Malcolm X. (I also saw the South End Neighborhood.) - Walking the same grounds as historical figures you’ve read about > - Seeing the word “Nubian” as the official name of a transit hub and business district full of Black and Brown folks is empowering. - The red brick makes the colors in the murals pop. - There’s diversity within the Black community; one time for the diaspora. - Ella Little-Collins and Malcolm X lived at 72 Dale st. Four blocks up from there is one of Boston’s Oakland streets (there’s two). - Stopped to watch someone do Tai Chi in a park as the leaves fell. Time well spent. - Briefly posted at the Roxbury branch of the Boston public library. If I lived there, I’d probably live there. - For those who are able to, the city is walkable. And the city’s bike program seems to be working pretty well. (I didn’t see any scooter rental programs, thankfully.)
