What can I do about East St. Louis?


Faith in Action - East St. Louis: visiting elderly or disabled at their homes.

reading: Jonathan Kozol's Savage Inequalities on the educational system in America, with a case study on East St. Louis schools.

  1. Let me know what you think about the book - I thought it was a good read. In your spare time (that is a joke...), check out Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez. It's a decent (now a little dated) reflection on how the desire for education and achievement oftentimes comes at alienation from one's culture.
