Barber shops, salons in the South Side cultivate friendships and a sense of community
Thirty years ago Lionel Milliken went looking for a barber and found a friend.
That friend, John Murray, not only cuts Lionel’s hair, but now cuts the hair of Lionel’s wife, Carol.
On a recent day in the barber shop, the three friends chatted about Murray’s vacation in Florida. They talked about playing golf and having dinner soon while Murray trimmed Carol’s hair.
The South Side Initiative Office would like to thank Professor Joan Bryant for all of her help and support in the success of the Black History Preservation Project (BHPP) and the recently featured documentary “Syracuse’s 15th Ward and Beyond”
