It matters, in this case, because these poor black kids, who are used to having well-off whites come into their community to "do good," will be exposed to some of the poorest of poor whites, people of whose existence they are unaware. They will learn that not all poor people are black, and that while a higher proportion of blacks than white are poor, there are some seriously hurting white folks. And that may have an impact on their view of race, their world, and the world. At least that's one of the issues I hope to explore - and I know that it's one of the issues the pastor taking them down there hopes to explore with the kids. :-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Austin Franklin Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 5:47 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Heading for the hills - B.D., > Off to Harlan, KY, for a week following 10 inner city... > ...mostly black...
