From a segregated Chinatown for Chinese railway workers in the 1870s to a segregated Black neighborhood in the 1970s, Southwest Fresno was purposefully designed to be a section of Fresno physically cut off from the rest of the city where immigrants and people of color were either forced to reside or had no economic means to reside elsewhere due to historic policies and practices of racism and redlining.

Research the demographics of the zip code where you live and a zip code that is across Fresno's "Mason-Dixon line" (i.e. Shaw Ave.). For example, if you live in the 93706 zip code, you live south of Shaw. So, you would research your own zip code and a zip code that is north of Shaw Ave. Click here to view a zip code map of Fresno. There are only two zip codes in Fresno that straddle Shaw Ave. (93704 and 93722). If you live in one of those zip code areas, your home is still north or south of Shaw Ave. If you live north of Shaw, then the second zip code you research should be south of Shaw Ave. Create an infographic using a site like Canva.com comparing the two zip codes you research using at least 4 points of comparison.

Median household income
Percent of household incomes under $50,000
Percent of household incomes above $100,000

"Ultimately, this year's prize for music has sparked a vibrant conversation about aesthetics, class, the division between so-called high and low art and whether giving one of the most esteemed prizes in American music to one of its most popular musicians represents a long-overdue corrective or an insult to non-commercial, so-called serious music." - Randall Roberts, L.A. Times

Mr. Lamar, a 30-year-old from Compton, Calif., is the first winner who did not produce classical or jazz music — and certainly the first rapper. Mr. Lamar’s fourth LP topped the charts while also tackling thorny personal and political issues, including race, faith and the burdens of commercial success.
