Reflection Day 30

 Today in class we got to share our black business in Atlanta project. Unfortunately, it was only a select few. After the presentations, we watched a documentary on Black-owned businesses in the United States. I learned that only a small percentage of African Americans reached the top 1% through entrepreneurship and only 5% of African Americans are upper-class citizens. Another thing I learned was Whites are pushing Blacks out of the cities. The only way we can overcome that problem is to develop our own cities.

Here we are in 2023, and people are sleeping behind the wheel in their Teslas. I learned about the pros and cons of self-driving cars, and come to the conclusion that self-driving cars would be good for those with a disability but unnecessary as a luxury flex.
