Things I miss
Soweto/Sowebo - Martha Cooper
Soweto is a big city on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Sowebo is a small neighbourhood in downtown Baltimore (where ‘The Wire’ is based on).Like Soweto, Sowebo played a historic role in the fight for racial equality.
After the Tragic assassination of Martin Luther King there was a massive black uprising in Baltimore leaving many white shop owners to flea the area. More than 40 years later most of these establishments remain abandoned. Because of it’s desolate nature, someone decided to nickname the neighbourhood ‘Sowebo’ after Soweto and the name stuck.
Today both Soweto and Sowebo are still fighting for decent housing, jobs and basic government service. In spite of difficult circumstances, everyday life goes on n the streets with neighbours gathering for informal barbecues and kids playing with toys that don’t require batteries.

"Love is one kind of abstraction. And then there are those nights when I sleep alone, when I curl into a pillow that isn’t you, when I hear the tiptoe sounds that aren’t yours. It’s not as if I can conjure you there completely. I must embrace the idea of you instead."
- David Levithan, The Lover’s Dictionary
