A number of reports from the Saint Louis Globe-Democrat and Saint Louis Post-Dispatch showed that St. Louis city, specifically the areas near Lafayette Park, were struggling (Wiitsruck 2015). According to “The Saint Louis Post-Dispatch, “The long delay [in building the Distributor] has caused the neighborhood to deteriorate.” Many homeowners were speculating on the City buying their property from them for the use of the expressway; now property values were plummeting as the threat of development dissuaded new buyers from purchasing homes.” (Wittstruck 2015). In addition to failing housing markets near the proposed Distributor, there were delays in other highways and an increase in racial and political tensions (Wittstruck 2015). One individual argued, “this [expressway] passes through the heart of the black area all the way… the reason they chose this route is because the land is cheaper. But nobody cares what this may do to us. How many more people is this going to uproot? (Wittstruck 2015). An important note is at the time of these tensions, racial tensions were present in all of the United States as two champions of racial equality, Martin …show more content…
The advantages listed provided two main advantages to the University City area, those advantages include: a decrease in travel time and traffic congestion relief (Lovelace 1952, 2-3). Consequently, the expressway would have created six major disadvantages to University City (Lovelace 1952, 3). The disadvantages include: depreciating the nearby residential area greatly, depreciate the Delmar business district, local traffic issues, unreasonable costs, removal of the street car system in University city and increase traffic complications in downtown St. Louis” (Lovelace 1952,
Asperger´s disorder is not a disease, but a developmental brain disorder. It is four times more prevalent in boys than in girls and it shows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries. Family income, lifestyle and educational levels do not affect the chance of Asperger´s disorder's occurrence. According to Hans Asperger:
oach Boone and Coah Yoast exhibit leadership qualities in a different way. Coah Boone reveals authority and confidence when he is coach, regardless of he is black in the community, he divides both the races of players to sit and sleep together at the camp no matter what race they are in which he hopes that it would unite the players. He wants them to be familiar and understand each other as a team. On the other hand, Coah Yoast also uncovers adroit and responsibility with regards to racism, when his players run toward the African-Americans at the beginning of the movie, he runs a car ahead of them to stop them from it and he is dependably affably taking to the African-Americans unlike his daughter. He comprehends the issues and know how to manage it without aggravation.
Daniel Boone was born on October 22, 1734 and later died on September 26, 1820. He was an American pioneer and hunter whose frontier explorations made him one of the first heroes of the United States. Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now the state of Kentucky. Despite resistance from American Indians, for whom Kentucky was a traditional hunting ground, in 1775 Boone blazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky. There he founded Boonesborough, one of the first English-speaking settlements beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Before the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people entered Kentucky by following the route marked by Boone.
A racially segregated Chicago had experienced few race riots prior to 1919. However, between April 1919 and October 1919, race riots spanned the nation; this became known as the Red Summer. On July 27, 1919, Chicagoans started to express their emotions on racial issues, which turned into violence, lasting several days and resulting in the deaths, injuries, and displacement of hundreds of people. During this time, Chicagoans opinions regarding racism led to extreme chaos, leaving African Americans and whites fighting with each other for wealth and opportunities. The relatively-invisible line between blacks and whites in Chicago became bolder, deepening the rift between the races. As a result of the gruesome events that occurred in the summer of 1919, segregation in Chicago deepened. Chicago city officials created the Chicago Commission of Race Relations, comprised of six whites and six blacks, with the goal of solving large racial issues in Chicago, such as housing for blacks and job competition. Today, Chicago is more desegregated, but it was an arduous journey and is still a work in progress. It is still a predominant issue, and there are many recurring examples of racial violence in Chicago currently. This makes racial inequality an even more important issue in Chicago communities, and the legacy of this racial violence continues to haunt this persistently segregated city.

They looked with hatred at the city Negro who could buy a car as if it were a bottle of whiskey because the one he had was broken. And what's more, who had said so in front of them. He hadn't bothered to say his name, nor ask theirs, had called them "them," and would certainly despise their days, which should have been spent harvesting their own crops, instead of waiting around
Daniel Boone is a well know woodsman, explore, and an American pioneer. Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now Kentucky which was then part of Virginia but on the other side of the mountains from the settled areas. As a young adult, Boone supplemented his farm income by hunting and trapping game, and selling their pelts in the fur market. This is what began his journey to establish Kentucky as a young man he created routes to and from places in the woods which helped him learn how to navigate the woods and establish roads and ways to get to Kentucky. Boone first reached Kentucky in the fall of 1767 while on a long hunt with his brother Squire

After WW II, Chicago’s Housing Authorities chose to construct more public housing options for its Chicago residents. The Public Housing Administration highly advised against building high-rises for Chicago families. However, money was very limited for this project which soon became a huge factor in the while planning and constructing new public housing. Despite Daley’s attempt to build the Taylor homes as a low-rise project, construction began on the high-rises in 1960, which would later become the longest housing project in the world. Some speculate that low-high rises would have been built adorably, if the land on the outskirts of the city had been made available. However, a white alderman opposed the idea of having blacks occupy houses in the same wards as them. During construction it was estimated that that average family contained roughly six people. But, realistically that was an inaccurate estimate, as extended families often lived in these apartments. Overtime, the housing projects became horrific and overcrowded with problem tenants. “One resident complained in 1965: The World looks on all of us project rats, living on a reservation like untouchables (Pacyga, Chicago, 334).” In addition to the housing problems, citizens accused Daley of purposely segregating the housing projects from the rest of Chicago (Daley: The Last Boss). Citizens claim that the Dan Ryan Expressway route was shifted to reinforce the border between Daley's native Bridgeport and the Black Belt to the east (Encyclopedia, Chicago). Shortly after Martin Luther King’s death, looting and rioting swept through Chicago Black west side. Mayor Daley, issued an order that was broadcast: “shoot to kill any arsonist … with a Molotov cocktail in his hand." This did not settle well with the Chicago community and especially the Africa-American people. Daley is often remembered as one of Chicago’ most powerful
St. Louis was established on the west bank of the Mississippi river. In the 19th century, St. Louis was largely developed mostly due to its busy port and trade connections (wikipedia.com). Due to advantageous geographical location and industrialization, St. Louis was the 4th largest city in the United States in the 20th century. In the mid-20th century, governors started to rebuild downtown with large-scale construction. Lots of parking and office buildings were built to create a fine working environment which in turn attracts people moving to St. Louis. However, from late 1960s, downtown St. Louis started to losing its power. Suburbanization caused a big loss of population, which marked the beginning of recession of the city. Now, St. Louis
While the 1940s did not bring a large amount of slum clearance to the city of St. Louis, it paved the way
In this article, multiple activities protest against the death of Philando Castile stood on the highway blocking all the cars from passing through on Interstate 94. The significance this highway is that it separates the black and white neighborhoods. Originally before the highway was there, the area belonged to African Americans; however, they were kicked out of their homes to build highways. I see the plan of girding the highway as a brilliant way to get a message out. People driving on the highway are forcefully blocked because they can’t go anywhere, so they have to listen to the protestors. Also, it takes a lot of courage to just step out and stop traffic where vehicles are going at least seventy miles per hour. Someone could have been
Christopher Boone articulates The Curious Incident, however, this novel isn’t told by an average fifteen-year-old boy; Christopher has Asperger’s syndrome—this isn’t stated in the novel, but we can acquire this knowledge simply by reading Christopher’s words. People with Asperger’s tend to have difficulty with social interactions, and Christopher clearly displays this inability when trying to figure out the emotions on the paper that Siobhan draws for him (1), also when he states, “ I find people confusing” (17). Another aspect of Asperger’s syndrome is a fascination with letters and numbers, this aspect is clear in the labeling of the chapters with prime numbers, his tactic to calm him self down by doing math in his head and finally by his adamant need to take A-level math and eventually physics. Nevertheless, this uniqueness about Christopher creates an unexpected narrative twist on this murder mystery novel.
