Deerfield Housing Case

Today we started class by considering the benefits and privileges of living in Deerfield and then we read a series of articles about the Deerfield Housing case of 1959. When we finished reading the articles, we did a portfolio response to the following questions:
1) What is your reaction to this story? How did it make you feel and did it make you rethink the list of benefits and privileges to living in Deerfield that you created?
2) Did the article surprise you? Had you heard this story before? If so, in what context and is there anything different when reading about it now? If not, why do you think you hadn't heard about it before?
3) What questions do you have after reading the article?
4) In what ways does this story link to or echo the ideas in the first parts of the Coates article that you read for today?
