Bipeds of Brookland: Bobby Caballero

Bobby Caballero came with his family from Cuba to Los Angeles as a baby. He moved to DC to study at Howard University. Mr. Bobby is the Director of Student Support at  Elsie Whitlow Stokes Public Charter School in Brookland which “prepares 350 culturally diverse elementary school students in the District of Columbia to be leaders, scholars and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice.”

Bipeds of Brookland: Alan Meyers

Alan Meyers met his wife, Allegra, in an improv class in New York City. When she got an internship at the Federal Government, he said, "I’ll move down. So I quit my job in NY and we both moved down here.” That was 11 years ago. They always thought they would move back to New York City where both of their families live in Manhattan. However, after renting apartments in DC and searching for houses for 11 months they bought a home in Brookland.  “We are transplanted New Yorkers that could not be happier and more delighted to be now hopefully permanent DC residents... We were looking every year to move back to NYC and then decided to live in Brookland. We found everything and more [here in DC rather than] moving back to NY

Bipeds of Brookland: Rick Edwards

Rick Edwards moved into Brookland in 1950 when he was four years old. His mother purchased a house in what was then a primarily white neighborhood.  Many houses at that time had racial covenants written into the contracts that Rick recalls, “Prohibited sale or rent to people of African blood or Jewish faith. Those racial covenants were binding until the Civil Rights era.  But you can still read them in many of the old deeds.” Rick says his mother had very light skin and “They didn’t know she was black until I came.  It was completely white when we moved in, the area I was aware of.  Many of the whites were antagonistic but many weren’t.  Murray and Paul had a delicatessen.  I remember parking my bicycle and going in

Susanne Horn came to Brookland in 1997. "One of the things I remember most was that we had a city recycling bin but the city wouldn’t actually pick it up. We used to drive our recycling out to a paper center on Blair Rd. I went to college in Vermont where it was all recycling all the time. And I was like, 'What do you mean you don’t recycle in the nation’s capital?'"

Susanne worked in the neighborhood as an AmeriCorps volunteer at Mary House that year and “I never left. I decided that Brookland was a great place to live. So I stayed and did my Masters in Social Work at The Catholic University of America."

Susanne started working at Bread for the
