NYTimes: Blacks in Retreat

From the New York Times: 

[W]ithout a dramatic new intervention by the federal government, the poverty rate for African-American children could eventually approach a heart-stopping 50 percent, according to analysts at the Economic Policy Institute. Already more than a third of black children are living in poverty.


From The New York Times:

OP-ED COLUMNIST: Blacks in Retreat

Martin Luther King Jr.'s fight for economic justice seems to have been ignored today as black Americans are bearing a disproportionate burden of joblessness.

Bid to rebuild Plum Island home faces opposition
By Taryn Plumb
Globe Correspondent / January 16, 2010
NEWBURY - A few tentative nudges from the curled arm of a bulldozer, and that was it. The white two-story beach cottage keeled forward and crumbled with a puff of dust like an exhausted gasp.
That was in November 2008, when 80-year-old grandmother Geri Buzzotta lost 45 years worth of memories, photographs, and valuables, her longtime Newbury house a casualty of the churning Atlantic that is voraciously gnawing away at Plum Island.

Now, remarkably, Buzzotta is hoping to rebuild on that very same tiny lot overlooking the tempestuous ocean.

But she faces opposition - a group of her neighbors, along with the state Department of Environmental Protection, are debating the proposed project out of concern for Plum Island’s eroding dunes.
