dear mr.sharif,
After reading your article "downtown Newark" i was taught about the drastic change that is to become . Im the article you speak of upgrading Newark's neighborhoods and downtown areas. you also speak of protecting Newark natives (such s myslef) from this slow but sure manuver.You believe that while the government is in such a rush to welcome new yorkers, they should also make this life cable for the less fortune newarkers that lived here for most of their lives. I agree i do believe that the government shouldnt wipe out the existing community in hopes d a new one. In one of your paragraphs you mention something to the note of newark being dislike new york in the fact that the rent will be much cheaper. if that is proposed to the state officials, that may be one way for native indegenous newarkers to capitalize on this new way of life. I mean why are the immense amount of residents to this urban city being forced out of thier homeland because the government wants to spend money on resturants and become a replica of times square.If anything they should be focusing in a stopping gang violence and drug trafficing. when New Jersey's government welcomes new comers from neighboring states, do they think the disadvantage in our community will dissapear?aside from that i am an eighth grader attending north star acadamy charter school of Newark. lately, in my english class we have been doin editorial analysis and this was one of thiem. i think it would be a great idea for you to come to our school and speak in our morning circle. if you are nfamiliar with that , it is when everyone in the school spends a half an hour taling about issues that have occured. it originated from african tribes when they would join together to dicuss any events. i would really appriciate your presence and so would my wonderful english teacher MRS.Christian.
Thank You,
AL-Jathiya Williams
