And during friends week in October, we have fundraisers, and usually we set up a table in the lobby of the library and the monies that we raise, we give it to the library and that way we can actually have programming in our community that the library may not be providing. So that's all. We are basically there to advocate for the library and to assist. And some of our library members also volunteer in the library and what they're doing is during school hours at the time when the library was open, they would volunteer to help tutor the children, or if there's anything else that the librarian would need us to do we also help. And that's basically in a nutshell, but we're there to support the library in the event that they need additional funding.

And also with your program, we've helped to sponsor. We had Kwanza programs at the library twice and how to make the REITs during the Kwanzaa period. And we also just provided a little funding. When you have a showcase of your arts program, arts and craft program, with some of our funding, we assisted with maybe the food.

But my experience here in Cambria Heights was filled with, I think, more of a community. The people knew each other on our block. We had block parties. That's when I moved here before I had my daughter, but we knew each other and I'm not saying you have to go in and out of someone's home, but everyone knew each other on the block. And it's not that way. Now that's one of the biggest differences. And the only reason that I know my community, I know the people on the block, I used to go and knock on their door to help one of the politicians, so they know me. They know my face. And also because of the civic. I try to promote the civic. They know me and I tried. And when I see them in the street, \"Hello,\" tell them what's going on in the community, but it's not that way. People are not as friendly. And as a community, I think they get in their cars, they go to work and it's not what it used to be. And there is one thing that I have to be realistic about. Cambria Heights was primarily a lot of Germans. We had Irish and Italians, but primarily it was a lot of German. This was the Heights, it was a higher level. And I found out that when we moved in in May '74, we had five white families by the end of the year, four have moved out within a year and a half.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976#t=667.0,803.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976/transcript/35241/annotation/37","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Adrienne Hawthorne: So you were in the middle of the white flight era...","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976#t=803.0,808.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976/transcript/35241/annotation/38","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Angela Sinclair: Yes.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976#t=808.0,809.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976/transcript/35241/annotation/39","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Adrienne Hawthorne: ... when you moved in.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976#t=809.0,809.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976/transcript/35241/annotation/40","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Angela Sinclair: I bought my first house from a German and Italian family and the second house was basically, I think, the same.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976#t=809.0,817.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/62417/file/147976/transcript/35241/annotation/41","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Angela Sinclair: [Nods in agreement].

And one of the things, when we came into the new library — I can't remember the year that it was built — when we came into the new library, we noticed the basement was really a store room and the group got together and we went to the main library and petitioned the politicians that we need to do something for the teens. You have a beautiful library upstairs, but it's empty downstairs. After so many years with monies from Senate state Comrie, Malcolm Smith — I don't think Daneek Miller was president at the time — and we did get some monies and that over two point something, $2.3 million.

They border on Botswana and they border on Angola. Angola is the north of Namibia, but they're usually Southern part of Namibia, closer to South Africa. So they were showing us how they made fire with just sticks. But the huts, they are tourist attraction. They do have homes. It's small, but this area was just for the tourists. And we did buy some artifacts from them. Now these are a group of women and men. The flat hat is synonymous with the herrero — H E R R E R O. They are called herrero. And because the clothing that they wear, they were colonialized by the Germans. So of course, when the Germans came in the late 1800s, the women wore that outfit and the black herrero women, this is what they were wearing in the street, but of course the majority would wear this, and it's not fancy.
