   The article on the Strawberry Mansion Area is vital in telling the Philadelphia story.  It clearly showed the numerous migrations of the wealthy and affluent from neighborhoods when Blacks were permitted to move into the communities. Although intergration was preached and established by law the many diverse cultures that inhabited Philadelphia overtly displayed the desire to operate with sepratist mentalities, making segragation an unspoken priority of northern life.
    I was raised in the neighborhood during very turbulent times. I recall the stings life could lay upon impoverished and disenfranchised individuals.  I remember reading the Philadelphia Daily News and the stories portraying the carnage and despair of living in what amounted to war zones. Yet, despite the times, the heart of the people yearned for better futures for their off-spring. In the midst of all that was portrayed in negative light, rays of hope shone through making the despair of darkness flee.  
    It was a neighborhood sadly like so many others across America but the people from many generations have risen above their plight. Adversity consumed some but it also made many stronger and in that process the city stronger. Among the prominent people of Philadelphia stand some from that once riches to rags neighborhood. They do not stand in a class by themselves but I am certain that when the roll is eventually called it will be a very short hail. Speak to those who live there and those who have managed to overcome to get a better perspective of the neighborhood, it's rich past and promising future.
