Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In this section of the reading they focus on one specific area and that the Lower Ninth Ward who received the greatest devastation from the hurricane. Many today still have not been able to return home or what was once their home . I liked the idea Jenga brought forward in creating communities gardens that would bring unity to a place that desperately needs it. She also developed a backyard gardener’s network that supports the lower ninth ward and brings the neighborhood together around these two gardens to provide resources and activities for the residents. I also liked the fact that she was trying to keep her programs and network to those who are African American and are at need for these resources and support who didn’t receive it when they needed it. I definitely admire her courage and wanting to break down the barriers of racial inequality and provide a place where African American’s and people in general can take back our community and build tools and resources for ourselves that will benefit us in the long run.
