Oral history interview with Elizabeth Money

Elizabeth Money discusses what Anacostia was like after moving to the neighborhood in 1925 with her husband, Frank E. Money.

She speaks about public education and transport in the 1920s and 1930s, recalling how most of the children finished school through the 8th grade in Anacostia or Randall Highlands; what recreation was popular at that time, such as bingo and dances at St. Francis Xavier; and what she recalls about Bonus Marches.
