Mrs. Hayden’s Neighborhood . . . We first did a story about Geneva Hayden in 2001. She ran a story time children’s program at West Brighton And Midland Avenues. We also were there when she received the Harriet Tubman Spirit Award at Bethany Baptist Church about a decade ago. Today she had a portion of Furman Street names in her honor. The event featured speeches by her former students and Mayor Ben Walsh. Community leaders like Mrs. Hayden are the answer to the often asked question: “who is going to do the work?” . . . #friendsofsif #mrshayden #communityleaders #haydenhouse #streetphotography #childadvocacy #allaboutyou #motherslove #streetlife #communitiesunitedtorebuildneighborhoods
