Neighborhoods everywhere have experienced transformations similar to Chrystal Sexton-McEachin's Chestnut Street neighborhood in York, Pa., and recently, the Golden Globe-nominated movie "Gran Torino" dramatized some of the challenges that result.
Since moving more than 25 years ago to her home on the 100 block of North Pine, Sexton has observed a neighborhood in flux. Her community organizing work has focused on bridging differences.
