LinkLinks Washington Post: As a teenager, Walter Pierce just wanted a place to play. So he made his own park. By Editor On Aug 23, 2020 Last updated Aug 23, 2020 34 Share When redevelopment forced Walter Pierce’s family out of their Southwest Washington home in the 1960s, his uncle suggested that the place to resettle was Adams Morgan. That diverse neighborhood, he reasoned, was too close to Connecticut Avenue to ever risk turning into a ghetto. And if it didn’t become a ghetto, its houses wouldn’t wind up being condemned, the first step in the process that had ousted the Pierces. 34 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
