In the book Our America LeAlan and Lloyd face problems every days of their lives. Living conditions, killings, drugs, sex, are all problems in LeAlan and Lloyd’s community. Problems that our government should be trying to fix instead of telling people that everything is all right when its clearly not. In past times situations like these weren’t handled and now that the government realizes these issues why aren’t they doing anything about it. They so call claim to be much more focused on making America a better place. But I only see that happing in the rich areas. For example in Boston lately the crime has been over the roofs and after about 150 killings in the city the government has decided to increase patrol in the bad neighborhoods but why is that in rich neighborhoods the kids learn about not commuting crimes, not having sex, and teaching them how to be successful in life. When in the bad community like LeAlans and Lloyd’s the need to be learning about these kinds of things isn’t being enforced. Has the government giving up on the bad communities and the families that are living within them?

What solutions do you think the government should consider for this community? Whose responsibility is it to change the lives of the individuals living in the Ida B. Wells housing project?
