Old photos kept by Mae Wiggins from her Queens College days and on the job as a nurse are seen Aug. 24 at her home in Virginia Beach, Va. Wiggins says that in 1963, she and a friend were both turned away from a Queens borough apartment complex owned by the Trumps. “We were both professional people with good credit ratings,” Wiggins recalled. “No reason to be denied apartments in a location that we thought was desirable and nice.”
