A few years ago, the University of Memphis identified five "hot spots" for crime in Memphis. Three were in Frayser.
6 in 10 Frayser children lived in what the federal government defines as poverty.
Unemployment here has more than doubled in the past decade to more than 17 percent.
The state considers 11 of Frayser's 14 public schools to be failing. Fewer than half of Frayser's adults have high school diplomas.
Folks in Frayser are eager for positive change, but after generations of being tossed about by massive socioeconomic forces such as deindustrialization, suburbanization and urbanization, they don't want to play poster child for well-meaning outsiders using Frayser's woes to cash in on grants or bolster resumes.

Stated goals and purpose of this partnership are:
To align with the missions of the Frayser Community School and the National Civil Rights Museum.
To provide a framework of lessons on the history of the civil rights movement as it is interpreted in NCRM exhibitions
To include character education based on the principles of DRIVE (Discipline, Responsibility, Integrity, Vision, and Effort) within the lessons
To challenge students to be informed and active citizens in promoting civil and human rights.

WHAT IS ECONOMIC JUSTICE?
Each person is able to earn a living and exchange goods and services with others fairly while also being free to engage creatively (mind and spirit) beyond economics.
THEN WHAT IS ECONOMIC INJUSTICE?
http://www.startribune.com/opinion/198634511.html
Economic inequality occurs when there is a financial disparity between the rich and the poor in which the top class has significantly more than each of the other classes, especially the lowest.
What factors in American history have contributed to an unfair economic system?
Who is affected by the unjust economic system?
