The whole area—they were getting ready to wipe it out. They didn’t care if we had anyplace to go or not, because they wanted it, just like they want it now.

—KATHLEEN MONTGOMERY EDWARDS

Emma Epps (1902–1989)

Princeton had loads of good things, but we had so many bad ones, too. I guess they only want to tell the good parts. In the Master Plan, you see, Negroes were not supposed to be living in the houses here, but only on jobs. They didn’t tell us. And I said to a woman the other day, “You know, maybe that plan has come around. They’re beginning to squeeze us now.”
