Talking Points on Kozol's Fire in the Ashes; Both
the audio and written versions of the article listed above, left this
reader with a deep sense of despair. You can not but help to put
yourself into the position of the people in the declining cycle of
abject poverty, drug abuse, neglect, discrimination, and sexual abuse.
An uncaring Governmental System which when notified publicly sought not
to correct or fix the problems, but to move it out of sight and into an
equal or worst environment. I come from a family where my Mom went as
far as graduating from Junior High School, and being from an immigrant
family of a total of eight people, had to quit school and go to work in
the Garment Industry. My Dad also had to quit at the end of the 6th
grade, as he was part of an immigrant family of 6 people. My Mom and Dad
always worked two jobs each, so that we had our own home with a back
yard and woods behind us where we could explore. Reading this article
taught me how little many people had in other cities and towns.
