    1. One article that stood out to me was the Jonathan Cozal article. What was meaningful to me was the explanation of the racial divide with wealth in New York. The white population household income is significantly more than the Hispanic and black population. The Hispanic and Black populations average household income in Mott Haven is $7,600.

    2. Another article that was meaningful was Patrick Finn's Literacy with an Attitude. It was meaningful because it focused on the different outcomes of students depending on where they lived. It shows that your life is dependent on where they go to school. 

    3. My last point is from our first ever article. The quote was from Rodney King and he said "Can't we all just get along". That was one of the most meaningful quotes I read. This resonated with me because we should all just be able to get along no matter what our differences are.
