Chapter One

UP FROM FOGGY BOTTOM

During the time of slavery, large numbers of free African

Americans moved to Washington, DC. It was the only southern

city where they were able to create their own society. By

1900, the African Americans there had established a successful

community with its own schools, businesses, churches, and clubs.

This was the world into which Charles Richard Drew was

born on June 3, 1904. He was born in his grandmothers three-

story home on E Street in Foggy Bottom,

Washington, DC. Six years later, the famil y

moved to another home down the block.

Foggy Bottom was a great place to

live. The Drew children could fish and

swim in the river, play in the parks, and

visit the museums and monuments in the

capital city.

Charles Drew around

1924 as a college student

Foggy Bottom was filled with people from

many different backgrounds, including African,

Irish, French, and Italian Americans. Washington

was segregated , however. Although Black and

white children played ball together in Foggy

Bottoms vacant lots, they still had to attend separate schools and use

separate swimming pools.

Charlies own background was as varied as his neighborhood. His

grandparents and great-grandparents were Native American, Scottish,

English, and African. His rich heritage contributed to Charlies red hair,

light skin, and freckles.

Charlies father,

Richard, was a carpet

layer at the Moses

Furniture Company.

He was a big, friendly

man who played

the piano and guitar.

Charlies mother, Nora,

was a graduate of

Howard University and

a schoolteacher. After

Charlie was born, Nora

gave up teaching to stay

home and raise the childre n.

UP FROM FOGGY BOTTOM

Foggy Bottom got its name

because mist from the

nearby Potomac River would

often blanket the low-lying

neighborhood with fog.

The five Drew childrenCharlie, Elsie, Nora, Joseph, and Eva

grew up in a home filled with books and music. They all had chores to

do, such as washing dishes, setting the table, cleaning house, and taking

care of their clothes. Their parents encouraged them to do well in school

and to have jobs. Charlies

mother often reminded the

children that they had to work

and study hard. Dont you ev er

forget, she would tell them,

that you were cared for and

educated by your father, who

worked on his knees.

Charlie started working

when he was 12 years old. He

sold newspapers on the street

corners. Charlie was very

good at selling newspapers.

As his business grew, he asked

his brother Joe to help him

sell copies of the Washington

Times and the Herald .

When the business grew too big for two boys, Charlie hired six

others to sell the papers. They would go downtown every afternoon and

sell the papers outside the big office buildings. Some days they would

sell 2,000 papers.

Charlie was already s ho wing signs

of his determination and hi s skills

as a manager and an organ izer .

As a teenager, he worked

at construction sites. One

summer he worked in a

glass-making factory.

Inside the factory, the

temperature often

reached more than

100 degrees.
