Provide More Funding to African American Neighborhoods of Detroit

Detroit needs help! While the city's collapse in recent years has been all over the news, the racial disparities between the African American and white populations has gone relatively unnoticed. Although all the inhabitants of Detroit have been suffering, African Americans are more underprivileged from a lack of institutional stability and educational resources than whites. Motor City Miracles, a non-profit organization that helps improve the lives of Detroit residents, is calling for the federal government to take action. As African Americans continue to suffer, and Detroit's government remains unable to provide aid, it is time for the federal government to fund public works projects and allocate money to to the public school system that will improve the lives of many African Americans.
