Item Information

Title:
Interview with Jeri (Geraldine) Robinson, 2018 August 5
Description:
Jeri Robinson is African-American, born in 1949 and raised in Roxbury. She was educated in Boston Public Schools, got her degrees in education and worked for forty years for the Boston Children’s Museum with childcare, schools and families during and following court-ordered desegregation of the schools. She moved to Dorchester in 1980 and because of bank discrimination bought her house outright. Jeri grew up with a strong sense of community and brought that activism with her and raised her son there. A project of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and supported by a Mass Humanities project grant, Neighborhood Voices is an oral history project documenting the stories of families living in the Dudley Street neighborhood.
