It helped me understand that the system is just not built for black people and it is forced to have them live in neighborhoods that are redlined. The wealth of an average black household is ~$17,600 and the wealth of an average white household ~$117,000.

These terms stood out to me and I feel that they can be integrated into my conversations.

The wealth gap increased from the time of Africans getting homes to present-day is outrageous. Seeing the real estate agent deny Senator Cory Booker's parents from purchasing a home in a white community was disheartening. All of the years since slavery has ended has not led to equality in race.

The people who were interviewed were from Baltimore leading to a situation where their opinion may swing a certain way. People from other communities and cities could have also been interviewed on the topic to prevent this. A limitation is not knowing the background behind some of the interviewees and how many people were interviewed in the survey.

I learned that redlining, zoning, and housing segregation most likely affected why the neighborhood that Bigger lived in was poor. Redlining affected all of the things his family could do, from buying a larger house to even having appliances work. I also now know that schools are affected by redlining with neighborhoods that have more money having significantly better education.
