The Chicago Project

Our trip cincinnati started out bad (with the weather and all) but it turned out every fun. We got to talk to alot of great speakers. Each one had a their own thought on Uran uprising and of the community. What I learned the most out of the trip, besides that proverty is stereotyped, is that each side has their own way of looking at life, but in this case it is proverty. No matter which way you look at it, your will end up with more than one answer to a question, (but you will end up with more knownledge on your question - so you can make your own answer).  With stereotypes, people and the media have have a negative out look on  homelessness and the word mostly used is that they are LAZY!!!  The thing is anyone can be homeless at any moment at any time. They don't plan on being homeless. Sometimes its just bad luck. The thing is that around 60% of homeless people work. Making them NOT lazy. 

The riots that happened in the 1960's came after the racial inequalty fight. These Riots was when Afrian Americans figured out that their was another inequality that was biger and and it involved economics and alittle racail differences. Mostly these riots were between Afrian American people and white Police officials. A official pulled over a young man for dunk driving and it turned into a big event and the official called for back up. This made a riot and the officials arrested more than the young man that day. Officials always tried to out number it the could or at lest tryed to stay in control. Some cops Stated that they felt that it was their job to keep white communities white. Housing was another alone with jobs. Afrian Americans got the salty end of the lollypop. NOT the sweet end. They were the last hired and the first fired. Making a large number for unimployed African Americans. Housing was also hard. Willie Mays (baseball's greatist center fielder) was rejected from renting a home that he wanted, until the Mayor PUBLICLY invited Willie to stay as a guest until it was resolved. Kids got so fusturated that they would start vandizing. They were the riots in Plainfield. Some went far as stealing

Sun down towns -did they really happen. We are looking in our home towns for this past history. The thing is you cant find sraight informating saiding bla bla bla town was a Sun Down Town. Its not a good thing to say it was, so information on it is had to find. The best way I'm getting my information is through people. the thing is I'm getting pulled from one person to another. the older people in my town did not live in it when it was a Sun Down Town. They each know something about the town.

The town I live in was made up of to townships. One RICH and one POOR, and some people did not want to combine the towns( they wanted to be segergated). Then I found out that our town was in The New York Times for being a Sun Down Town  with out saying it was. The thing is that I can't find this paper. When I was looking for it I was running around the internet like crazy, But all I know is it was red line for beening segergated in a paper.
