Preparation for the Tuesday, December 8th Discussion Group

The Legacy of The Pact exemplifies a longer narrative of sustained achievement with much earlier origins. Particularly so given the transition of residential communities into highly isolated neighborhoods.

Please review the following material and link through to the website and explore before our discussion on tuesday nov . 8th, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. in room C 253;

“If a neighborhood is to remain stable, it is necessary that properties shall continue to be occupied by the same racial and social classes. Changes in social or racial occupancy contribute to neighborhood instability and the decline of value levels.”
