Bertha Gilkey
Bertha Gilkey (née Knox; March 18, 1949 – May 25, 2014) was an African-American activist of tenant management of public housing properties.〔 She set up the first tenant management association in St. Louis, Missouri, which successfully rehabilitated the once decrepit Cochran Gardens public housing project, and managed it for more than 20 years.
==Early life==
According to her own statement, Gilkey was born in bitter poverty in Arkansas. Emma Green, her mother, relocated to St. Louis in 1960〔DeParle, 1992, p. 3.〕 and raised her fifteen children in a three-bedroom apartment at Cochran Gardens〔 - the first high-rise project of Saint-Louis financed through the Housing Act of 1949, completed in 1953.〔Larsen, Kirkendall, p. 61.〕 Initially intended for low-income whites, the 704-unit block was desegregated in 1956.〔Larsen, Kirkendall, p. 62.〕 Emma Green and her children were among its first black tenants.〔 When Cochran was all white, they didn't refer to it as a project. It was called Cochran Gardens. As Cochran became more and more black, I began to see the services reduced. Once it became all black, there was no standards. It moved from being a neighborhood to a project. It became a dumping ground.
Bertha Gilkey, 1999〔Lanker, p. 22.〕
