The article “Neighborhoods: Briarwood Reassures Black Family” talks about the racial issues of briarwood in early seventies. It gives you a story how some vandals burned, a newly moved in, black families two story brick house. In early seventies you could still see some racist habits in the population if the area. I would not even want to imagine how it would be to lose everything that was dear and precious to you in a couple of hours. Just the thought of that drives me crazy. But as they say “There are good people in the world” the poor black family received a call from a white woman from the neighborhood saying that she is going to help them and give them a shelter until they going to find a new roof over there heads. This show that the community’s appreciation towards the “Blacks” is growing. “He paused, looking at the black and white schoolchildren walking together in the street. ”The people are warming up to us” he said”.
