Savage Inequalities


"This is my life. It isn't all I dreamed of and I tell myself sometimes that I might have accomplished more. But growing up in poverty rules out some avenues. You do the best you can."
--Bob Shannon, Boys' H.S. Football Coach, East St. Louis, IL
It's just heartbreaking to think that not only are poverty-stricken Americans equally promising and full of potential in childhood, but they are also fully aware of their inability to realize their dreams in adulthood.

One gift that my job is giving me is a deepened sense of obligation and responsibility to underprivileged kids that can only--only-- come from direct exposure.



The quote above is from the book Savage Inequalities, by Jonathan Kozol. I bought it at Borders on my way back from my improv classes on Sunday evening. Incidentally, this book was mandatory reading for all incoming Duke freshmen, the summer I was a sophomore. And interestingly, one of the main case studies in the book is New Trier High School, my proud alma mater.
