Growing up in a lower income family can have many challenging. Personally, I have not experienced this outcome of living on a lower salary. But I do see this kind of poverty throughout the community.
But I realize that the income salary that a person makes does not affect how a person can become something in life such as a person who is living in upper Manhattan versus people who living in Harlem.

    Summary Of Success In East Harlem

    Does the amount of funding a school receives affect the quality of education a school can provide in the United States? Because academic opportunities require sufficient funding, do schools with more funding have more opportunities for the students? Do schools that have more funding receive a superior education compared to low funded schools? As a student from a small, underfunded school, I observed my friends from the next town over attend a large, highly funded school with an abundance of resources. Perhaps the amount of funding a school receives affects the quantity of resources and the quality of education.…

    The Harlem Renaissance Project

    Doing this Harlem Renaissance Project I’ve learned many things. I have learned things about the history, art, music, and social impact of the Harlem Renaissance. In general I learned how African Americans came together and created a different style of things than they were originally accustomed to. I have learned that the Harlem Renaissance was a artistic, literacy, and a abstract movement that sparked a new black culture. I learned that the Harlem Renaissance was also called “ The New Negro Movement”. It was considered the rebirth of African American culture. The most interesting thing about this research is how people of the Harlem Renaissance like Gwendolyn Bennett were able to think and come up with amazing ideas and start a movement…

    Rent Strikes Harlem

    The Rent Strikes can be described as successful insofar as they spurred government action to improve housing in Harlem, and helped to develop a broader consciousness that led to rent strikes across the United States. For example, two months after the initiation of the strike, the City of New York agreed to purchase two dilapidated apartments from landlords with an excessive number of violations. By May of 1964, strike efforts (partially led by Gray) expanded to over 30 cities in the United States. In December, the city initiated plans to improve dilapidated housing and protect low-income residents in Harlem. Close to two years after the strike began, the city initiated the rehabilitation of 37 buildings in Harlem, under the supervision of…

    Personal Narrative: Harlem

    I lived in a small town named Harlem, and it was nice in the summer, but it ends up getting too hot in the summers. Most people here are people hanging out windows, people on fire escapes, and anywhere trying to get a cool breeze. Harlem was a town that you could get a job for a day and that's it pretty much it. I loved playing the saxophone, so I tried to use that to get money but it didn't work as well as I planned. My dad says I should get a part-time job, but I wanted full time to get extra money. I finally got a job at this business and I finally thought it would have been great. Then after awhile, it started to get harder to wake up and get to work. Then I meet Fats and that's when everything went south. Fats was someone that had a bootleg…

    Harlem Is Nowhere Summary

    What Transcends Time Discrimination due to race has always been a problem of some kind. No matter the status, occupation, or age of a person, discrimination has no boundaries, and places unimaginable limits on people. Whether it be an old man at the grocery store yelling at an employee, or a child being picked on by other children, discrimination finds its way into the hearts of people, and prevents them from seeing past skin color. One particular group of people who are discriminated against is African Americans. Throughout the history of the United States, there has been little to no evidence of discrimination not being a problem, in fact, every single piece of evidence actually points towards it!…

A lot believe it negatively changes the culture of neighborhoods. People might argue that it creates more jobs and brings in a more educated and wealthier population to the area being gentrified, which can improve the community in the long run.
