The news today connections

Gentrification is my topic around the connection to the latest news in Durham nc and TKAM (To kill a mocking bird). To tell you first is that if you don't know what gentrification is then it means to like poor people are going to have to move somewhere else to renew and build. Well right now people are saying that gentrification is also affecting our human rights.
In Today Duke what was interesting is that Robert Kirk ( the director Duke Human Rights Center at FHI) says in quote " We're taking Malcolm X as our starting point." The reason he said this was because he saw as this as also a human right violation, which in case is making the prices of like houses higher than other years.

Gentrification and Human Rights in Durham | Duke Today

How does this relates to TKAM? Well for me what I think is the trial for the part of it. Which means that human rights, right? Well when Harper Lee wrote this remember in the time of Jim's crow laws and like the great depression. So then it means not all have the human rights of doing something that would affect the population or others. This in short means that there are problems that cause an affect on human rights.
The second part that I could in a way ( kind-of I guess) represent this too is that when Helen Robinson (Thomas Robinson's wife) was having trouble to cross Mr. Ewell's house/gate. The reason I thought this was because well think about it, if we ware taking about rights at least it's what I'm talking about of how Mr. Ewell was like pushing her and not leaving her alone. And I know is that it's rude and against rights to do something like that. But things can change but it has to apply to the laws and the human rights.
