Three hundred hours of Bed-Stuy, on cassette
DeShawn CarterVerified New YorkerIt started with my grandmother and a borrowed recorder. Thirty-five years later I have over three hundred hours of Bed-Stuy talking about itself.
I'm digitizing the tapes and entering each one into the Digital Archive with a date, a name, and a block. If you grew up here, you might be on one of them.
