Week 10: A Tale of Two Families

After more than two hundred years of continuous presence in North America, African Americans are still in a miserable situation due to the residues of slavery and widespread discrimination and prejudice against them for a very long time. The story ' A Tale of Two Cities' throws light on how many African Americans face problems in every step of their lives. And unfortunately this is passed on to their children and hence many future generations are effected who in turn have to struggle to make a living. Unfortunately, not everyone are able to be a part of th so called 'American Dream'. Not everyone gets the same access to home ownership, good schools, health services and other resources. I do believe strongly in the statement that  - Wealth is not just luxury; its also the starting point for the next generation. I have been fortunate enough by the grace of God to be able to start my career without the pressure of supporting my family. However, I have seen how financial support in the beginning of one's career actually helps a person start at a much raised platform than those who don't have it at all.  The story emphasizes on how important the access to good resources is essential for a comfortable start.
