I chose community revitalization as my topic. I did some pre-article reading brain storming, researched and read some articles, and then created a second list of words. As follows -
urban, racism, prejudices, wealth and poverty, low-income, poor, economic disasters, neighborhoods, neighbors, neighboring, fellowship, assumptions, health, broken families, schools and failing school systems, education, separation of race, class, and wealth, ghetto, projects, gangs, public health, food access and affordability, food deserts, social justice, money, funding, unity, youth, shelter and housing, homelessness, jobs and joblessness, sustainability
It's a lot of words.
Here are some sites that I used to read about different community related things happening both within Kansas City and in general, how revitalization might look. I'm really interested in how revitalization looks within existing communities and how, from a faith and religious stance, social justice calls people who can help, to help.
