Hi, Vincenzo!
I find that redlining is a criminally-underdiscussed form of racism in non-Southern places during the Jim Crow era. Because of that, we haven't fully reckoned with its impacts. Not that we've actually reckoned with any sort of racism here in America. We just shove it under the carpet. But I'm sure you're very aware of that fact.

Hi Vicenzo,
I was drawn to your poster because I am from Baltimore and I know a little about how the schools are separated. However, I didn’t know the government played a role in this

Hi Vincenzo, What stood out to me from your poster is how important this topic is to our society in learning about how redlining can impact the opportunities that students can have in their academics and future prospects. From what I learned, redlining affects minorities and provides a barrier to their success, and is deemed to be a lasting segregation attempt in our communities. What does measures do you believe we should take as a community to inform people about this topic and how can we fix this issue in the long term?

Hi Vincenzo! During my first year in college we were discussing racial disparities in many aspects, including housing. I was interested in learning more in depth about this topic and how it has effected educational opportunities for those in these areas. From your project, I learned that the housing segregation is almost mirrors the segregation from the past. These consistent generational housing caused by the government is being intensified by the inactive and stingy budgets of the government. I wanted to learn what is the best course of action. Do you believe these inequalities can be fixed in the next couple years, or is it a persistent issue?

Hi Vincenzo! Your project really stood out to me since I'm from Maryland and education inequality is a very important issue to me. I learned how the law upholds present-day segregation, depriving students of color of an equal-quality education. From a legal perspective, what would be the best way to combat this issue?
