Blog Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to document life in Campbell Village Court, Oakland, California in the 1940s and1960s by collecting stories from those who grew up there and from their friends and relatives. So why should anyone in the World be interested in stories from that place, at that time? It was a special time for the children, teenagers, and young adults living there. The World should be interested because "Every life has a story and every story has a lesson," says Oprah Winfrey. Look at ours, and ask yourself, "What's mine?"
