“Good schools” That’s the code. But in all seriousness I did get a pretty decent education there all things considering. My teachers were great, especially my history teacher. I don’t want to oversell how backwards everyone was. There were a lot of good people there too. All my friends were really bright and left leaning. If you watch the documentary, many people in the housing projects were quite warm and welcoming of their black neighbors.
