Hyperlinks about Jonathan Kozol, Amazing Grace

This reading was a very well written piece about New York City's poverty, drug problems and health issues that are faced daily in the community. It was insightful and I was shocked to learn about the families and the children living conditions. The knowledge of these children, freely discussing drugs, shootings, murders, prostitution, aids,  was overwhelming to me. It is a real eye opener to read because most of us do not see these types of things in our lifetimes, hopefully, and need to realize that this is a awful problem that thousands deal with everyday!
In recent studies, one in seven Americans live on or below poverty level line.
