This Wiki will be focused on the drastic economic and cultural gap between the bordering cities of Garden City and Hempstead, NY. I will not (only) be focusing on the topic of drastic economic difference, but also that of race and diversity.(consider using a different word, becuase diversity mean little on its own)

My Primary research will consist of interviewing the public and public figures in the area.

- I will focus on making comparisons between the minorities in both Garden City and in Hempstead. See how they differ and how they feel about the inconsistencies between the two cities. - I will communicate with the Mayors offices to see if I can get some political insite on the issue and see what is being done about it.

(If you plan to contrast the economic and racial differences, can you get sources and interviews that will speak for both groups? If the mayor is of one group and backround, who will you get to repesent the other?) -
