Red potato is awesome!
I will be contributing to the wikipedia page of the Grand Concourse One idea that I have is talking about how the policies directed at Grand Concourse throughout time mirror the policies that the government directed at the whole country. I may also talk about the clearing of slums and white flight that changed the ethnic breakdown of the population along Grand Concourse. This can lead into an exploration of how actions taken by the government encouraged suburbanization, and how that affected the urban poor.
For the Talk Page
Hello, I will be contributing to this article soon for an assignment in my American Government class. some topics I may include are: gentrification and the "renewal" of the neighborhoods along the Grand Concourse, the play "Grand Concourse," the Dollar Savings Bank Building on Fordham, and the work done on the Grand Concourse as part of New Deal programs. Here are some sources that I may use:
