 * Song:**

Back Street Boys is a pop-focused international boy band that was discover around the year 1995. They released this song in 1996, the year I was born. I like this song because it's very up beat. This reminds me of when I was little in my uncle's home videos and I was danced to their whole album and then ran out of breath and sat down. This song is like a nice up beat party type song. Back Street Boys are known for that and I want to expand reader's choice of music for the "oldies" music and what the songs were like back then. ===== Song: media type="file" key="Get Down - Backstreet Boys.mp3" width="240" height="20"

**Title**: [|Black, Successful and Safe And Gone From Capital]  **Date**:  July 27th, 1996  **Author**: Steven A. Holmes and Karen De Witt  **Summary**: Richard White moved to Fort, Washington to get away from the drug and child abuse his old neighborhood had to offer in 1979. His neighborhood was once known as "The Chocolate City" because there were African Americanpeople every where, working, walking, and living their lives there. He is now retired an does volunteer work around his neighborhood and ofter wants to go back to his original roots and live there, his opinion on his south east Washington neighborhood is that is in need of more middle class black people to reclaim the once safe city. But his wife, on the other hand, doesn't agree. An exodus occurred in the 1980's, Columbia's District of Columbia's huge black middle class left the city and moved to the suburbs out of a disillusionment and transplanted ambition, and has been declining rapidly when just 20 years before the black's won their long awaited and dream of a limited self-government. In the 1980's, 11% of the the District of Columbia's black population moved out of the city equaling to 50,000 blacks moving out. During this huge exodus was the increase in white's in the city which rose 8,000 people in the last 20 years. This is an example of a city in America that exhibits race changing while the city's economy is becoming poorer. The middle class are either still their or some have been lured back to their once nice neighbor hood but the population only stands at 554,00, about 65% black, and 32% white. When Sandy Davis moved to the border line of that neighborhood, she wanted no interest in it. Now, as the government, in 1996, tries to quickly fix up the broken city, it's going to take a lot more effort then expect. The city is slowly sliding into bankruptcy under the care of the congress. Education rates are slowly tipping too, with only 46 percent of the Prince George's African American Seniors said they wanted to go to college but thats higher then the white percentage of 41.6 percent. This article talks about how the city is slowly slipping away from the hold of the people and the congress, itself. Also, it shows how easily a city can be forgotten in different points of views.

**Title**: [|A Private School That Promotes Black Culture] **Summary**: In Mount Vernon, a regular day at the Bereshith Cultural Institute starts at 7:30a.m and ends at 6-ish p.m. This article describes the school days of the kids and how they learn a bit differently then other people do at their schools. Ms. Conn-Halevi, the cheif executive officer said: "The purpose of B.C.I. is to educate our youth, It's giving our children a good foundation. What we do is give them a self-pride about themselves; they learn about their history. In 1976, we didn't have preschools that taught. We had child-care centers where you could play allday. But, I felt that there was a need. We never had our own African-American school, where we could give our own history and teach our children about themselves." Instead of watching PBS kids or Mickey Mouse Club House, they learn how to recite stories in different languages. The Pre-school tries its hardest to make the young learners understand the meaning of life and what it is to them. Other then helping kids learn about the meaning of life, the school also helps with hosting events and building shelters. After 20 years of success, the financial problems has hit the school that hardest. Although they purchased their current property, many families have trouble paying the fee for learning such important things which has reduced the enrollment rate by a lot. These issues have caused them to suspend the first-through-sixth-grade programs, temporarily, and everyone in support of the school has joined together to collect grants and proposal for the city, school, and children.

In my opinion, the one of the six social institution that would relate most to the articles above are: - Governmental - Around the 1996 times, the government didn't have enough money to support cities and funding for schooling and thats the main idea of each of these article summaries and articles. - Education - Both have to do the with schooling of African Americans and how the students benefit from the environment they are in. - Economic - In all, both articles had to do with the economic times affecting their daily life and education in the environment they were in.
