Veronica Slocum, April 13, 2008, Gary, Indiana:

CAPTION: Veronica Slocum was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. 47 years ago she moved to Gary, Indiana. "I don't know many people here anymore, everyone keeps coming and going, since Cabrini got tore down(in reference to the destruction of the Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago, Illinois, which has created a forced migration of people to Gary and other towns in Indiana which surround the city of Chicago) people been coming in and out". "I want him (Sen. Obama) to succeed so we can back to doing what we need to. Its the young generation that I'm worried about, my Grandaughter, she's doing good, she just took me to Paris, but my grandson, he's younger and struggling to pay the school bills. I want someone in the White House who is ready to take care of me and them (her grandchildren)"
