 * The first reference, Equality for Flatbush is an anti-gentrification initiative. We will hear direct first-hand experiences from people on this site. I will use this site to inform readers of the work that is being done to combat this seemingly overwhelming wave of gentrification in Brooklyn.  I can also use this site to spread awareness about their efforts, rallies, donation sites, etc. to include at the end of my page.
 * The second and third sources will give the reader background information of gentrification; what it is deeper than the surface level of what we know it to be. It will use real people as examples in the case of Bushwick, Brooklyn NY, which was also a victim of gentrification. The latter source also mentions the impact of COVID-19 on gentrification and how two epidemics at once really drained the lowest-income cities in Brooklyn.
 * The fourth source is the NYC census data from 2010 will give readers a historical and statistical view on gentrification in the city. It reveals the races and ethnicities of people in each geographic area (each section of each borough). I think quantitative data is important to mention in a topic like this to numerically show readers how drastic the changes have really been.
 * The fifth source is the East Flatbush 2018 report which is a detailed analysis of the various aspects of health in relation to the East Flatbush community. I think it is essential to this discussion of gentrification because it complicates the belief that gentrification is needed in lower-income neighborhoods to “make them better or healthier/help the citizens”. The overall consensus of the report is that “East Flatbush’s average life expectancy is 1.4 years longer than NYC overall.” It is interesting to see how this report clashes with and contradicts what gentrifiers are doing to the community now.
