Joseph's Story

During the years 1963 through 1975, and indeed for many years thereafter I was a fairly troubled student, classmates would remember me, if at all as a rather shy, lonely bookworm. (nerd) Starting in 1986 began to improve. In 1988 I became a outreach worker, that is to say that I was an Intensive Case Manager who would travel throughout Center City Philadelphia getting, or trying to get homeless mentally ill people off the streets and into shelters, I became so good at this that I rated doing the more dangerous jobs such as going into the so-called "box city" at the end of the Walnut-Locust station on the Broad Street subway, and getting crack addicted homeless people out of the station and forcing them into the various shelters in Philadelphia.

d that was the so-called "code outreach" where all the homeless were "302d" (committed against thier will.) into the shelters because the wind-chill factor had fallen to -10f or colder. By 1998 I was a shift leader at residence for people who were mentally ill. Quite frequently they had no I.D. not even a Social Security card. The moment that I am most proud of was in 1998 when I was able to get a homeless rape victim both I.D. and eventually into the Joseph J. Peters program that deals solely with sexual abuse victims. Currently I am a history major and hope to transfer my credits over to the University of Pennsylvania and have a book published on the 1910 Philadelphia General Strike, As well as the period from 1944 to 1951 that resulted in the Democrats taking over in 1951.
