Assignment for Thursday, Feb. 22

OK, we WILL have class.

Now then, 2 pages.

On the face of it, integration is not a source of income or a source of access to assistance.  Harrington obviously thinks that big government power and money ought to help with income and assistance.  But when it comes to racial prejudice and housing issues, he calls also for integration. 

Last week, we worried about how a strategy of integration could be a threat to the identity of a community.  Ignore those kinds of worries for a moment and try to dial in on What Harrington thinks that integration could bring--in race and in housing (and they are obviously related).  What are the evils that he thinks it would fight?  The goods that he thinks it would bring?  And do you agree?  Why?

Review those two chapters and give me your thoughts.  Bring it to class--we'll talk about it.
