would attend some of the meetings that they would have...White

people would have. So anyway, our older brother told the other

brother who is in real estate to look around and see an area where

we might move so I understand that I...I think the brother whose in

real estate said that he mentioned it to Dr. ...I've forgotten his

name, he had an office on Third Avenue in between Eighth and Ninth

Street...Dr. Lowry, he mentioned it to Dr. Lowry and Dr. Lowry told

him that he knew of someone who was getting ready to move and had

a family who were living more or less together but in separate

houses so that's how we got to come out here. Our mother was in

that large white house and I lived with her, my husband and I and

my daughter and then there was a sister who was...Ms. Adderly who

lived in a house just a...in the same yard, all of this is in the

yard and then this house, the sister was in...what else? (laughter)

 (Ms. Wanza): Where were you living when you first heard about

the building of I-95?

 (Mrs. McKellar): I was living at 159 Northwest Tenth Street.

 (Ms. Wanza): Did you rent or own the place you lived in at

that time.

 (Mrs. McKellar): Owned.

 (Ms. Wanza): What kind of reaction was there to the news that

the expressway would come through Overtown?

 (Mrs. McKellar): Well it wasn't very pleasant because our

 parents, I think our father had passed by that time but our mother

 was not too happy of having to leave her neighbors who she had

 known for years and it wasn't a very good feeling.
