East Oakland, Oakland, California, United States (Google Maps ⧉, OpenStreetMap ⧉)

"Back then we lived in East Oakland, in a yellow house. It was the brightest but smallest house on the block. A two‐bedroom with a tiny kitchen that couldn’t even fit a table."

"If you were from Richmond, or East Oakland, or, like Sanchez, South LA, you might be trained from birth practically to represent your block, your gang, to rep hard, to have pride, to be hard."
