Writing Assignment 1 – Leopold 1 It was not until recently that I have become passionate about my future as a community planner. One of the issues I intend to address as a planner is environmental injustice‚ the disproportionate placement of minority groups in highly-polluted and environmentally degraded areas. Another issue of utmost importance to me is how to protect native species from habitat loss – and ultimately extinction – as humanity advances. These issues are seemingly disparate; how

I really enjoyed Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s Documentary. Initially‚ I was shocked because the opening scene is a black woman in a what people would consider now a conservative dress jamming out with her guitar.
