This chapter examined how different white residents viewed diversity as some viewed it as positive and negative. It also examines day to day interactions between white and non-white residents. On one hand, whites were attracted to the diversity in Creekridge Park but others see diversity as a negative effect of affordable housing. Other than those two views, some people moved to Creekridge Park simply because they were attracted to its taste instead of because it had positive economic benefits. I found that this chapter addressed the main point of this because it explained interracial relations by exploring what members of the neighborhood thought about diversity.
With the flawed response to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots there were many decisions that were made by the top brass of the police department and city. The first ethical issue that helped cause the riots in the first place, was the use of force that was excessive in nature. The decision of the sergeant at the scene of the Rodney King to not stop the excessive force used by the officers that day was an ethical violation within itself. The use of power and discretion in the event causing the riots was most certainly unethical in nature. That night the officers had a duty to arrest King, but the discretion that was used to repeatedly beat King was poor.

The next is diversity in the suburbs where suburbs are now of different races, religion, believes, cultures, etc. Again, there’s a lot of minorities in suburbs. These minorities are the lower income families who were left out after the WWII. Not everyone there is that, but their history shows so. Another event is the political clout in the suburbs.
The poster of Annapurna's newest film, Detroit hangs at my local theater like a provocation. A thin blue line of police officers struggles to hold back angry black protesters as big bold letters are scrawled along the side. The tagline reads: "It's time we knew. " Those words, along with the required "from the creators of..." accolades are the only things on the poster that aren't sideways. They might as well be though, considering the 1967 Detroit riot is about the only thing about Detroit most Americans know.
Watts Riots During the summer of 1965 in Watts, CA (a section of south central Los Angeles) a riot broke out and devastated the community of Watts destroying homes, business and millions of dollars’ worth of property. Some call it a riot, some call it a tragedy, and others may even call it a rebellion or a revolt. One thing for sure it was a statement made by the people of Watts. It roots stemmed poverty, low employment, frustrated citizens and terrible living conditions.
The population doubles in these two decades to 138,687 with 227.9 people per square mile. Now I am really curious about the racial demographics with 88.21% white citizens and 6.02% black. My current research shows a gap with unclarity about the remaining race of the other six percent of people. The growing population is able to navigate the public transpiration affectionately known as “The Pocono Pony” which is the Metro Transit bus
Professor Khalil Girban Muhammad gave an understanding of the separate and combined influences that African Americans and Whites had in making of present day urban America. Muhammad’s lecture was awakening, informative and true, he was extremely objective and analytical in his ability to scan back and forth across the broad array of positive and negative influences. Muhammad described all the many factors during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries since the abolition of slavery and also gave many examples of how blackness was condemned in American society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Professor Muhammad was able to display how on one hand, initial limitations made blacks seem inferior, and various forms of white prejudice made things worse. But on the other hand, when given the same education and opportunities, there are no differences between black and white achievements and positive contributions to society.
The 1940’s started off with war between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers, which became known as World War 2. The U.S. had not been involved in WWll until December 7, 1941 when the Japanese Navy Air Service launched an attack on Pearl Harbor. As a result of this attack President Franklin D. Roosevelt integrated the defense industry assembly lines so bombs could be manufactured.. This was the first time southern blacks and southern whites were demanded to work together. This caused more racial tension to rise in Detroit between blacks and whites.
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth is a documentary that explores public housing in Saint Louis, Missouri, in particular the history of the infamous Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex. Pruitt-Igoe was a public housing project billed as the perfect solution in the early 1950s, to solve the problems of slums in Saint Louis and to bring people back into a city that had seen a population decline from previous years. Saint Louis was an ageing city desperate to regain their postwar prominence as a bustling city, but faced many challenges pertaining to the racial makeup of the segregated city and the loss of many jobs to suburban areas. Many whites had begun to participate in what is now referred to as “white flight”, or the migration of middle class whites to

We learned that over the last 40 years the police department of the City of Miami and Miami- Dade County have experienced their share of civil disturbances. To illustrate, there have four cases of race riots between both police departments which led to innovation to be involved in their pursuits to better their responses. These were the race riots in 1968, the Liberty City Riot, 1980, the McDuffie Riot, 1982 Luis Alvarez Riots, and 1989 Loranzo Riots within the Liberty City over town areas. However, the article stated that these riots were resulted by either police shooting of young black men, or thanks to the federal government the deporting of a young Cuban boy. Thus, it was not until the civil arrest of the 1980’s McDuffie Riot which seemed

Introduction: Residential mobility changes over time, and brings changes to social structures and cultures of a city (Oishi 2010). Atlanta has witnessed an incredible urban expansion, racial re-composition, and migration patterns over decades. Atlanta’s experience is an example of how urban growth is intertwined with a complex mix of Race, Ethnicity, migration and social inequality factors in the United States. A micro level longitudinal study will help to understand how these complex relations among race, social inequalities and urban development are shaping urban landscapes of American cities.
Lance Freeman, an associate professor of urban planning in Columbia, wanted to investigate if there was any displacement going on in two predominantly black neighborhoods that was briskly gentrifying. Much to his dismay, he couldn’t find any correlation between gentrification and displacement. What was surprising to Freeman was his discovery, “poor residents and those without a college education were actually less likely to move if they resided in gentrifying neighborhoods”. (Sternbergh, 19) Freeman adds, “The discourse on gentrification, has tended to overlook the possibility that some of the neighborhood changes associated with gentrification might be appreciated by the prior residents.” (Sternbergh, 19)
