“My twin cousin GiGi lived on the 2nd floor on 12th Ave. and I lived on the 2nd floor on the corner of Wallace Street; we would stand in our front windows and wave to one another from a distance. She was crying on the phone when she saw this photo. She’s going to cry again when she sees these photos. We played and spent a lot of time together; we got separated after the Newark riots in 1967, and I didn’t see her again until 2024. I’m going to show these to her today, thank you. This part of our lives was lost after the riots; you are helping us remember.”
