Option 1

 * Article title:East Oakland
 * Article Evaluation:The content is relevant because it gives an overview of the neighborhoods and general population statistics. it seems to me that the article has been written neutrally. Each claim does not have a citation/source so it does lose some credibility and makes it a weak reference if it were used. Equity gap: It does mention the disparities that Oakland faces with like housing and the general location being a food desert so it's good in that aspect.

Option 2

 * Article title:Black Panther Party
 * Article Evaluation:this article gives good and relevant insight on the Black Panther Party, while written neutrally. There does seem to be reliable citations with every claim, from books members of the Black Panther Party have written to academic journals. I think it does inform people of origins because many know the "what" but not exactly the "why". And I think this article is only slightly relevant to my project because the Black Panther Party is a big part of Oaklands Culture.

Option 3

 * Article title:Oakland, California
 * Article Evaluation:The article does a great job of covering all the general information about the location so the content is definitely relevant. The article is also a B-class article so it should be pretty clear that the information on here is written with a neutral voice. from what I saw, claims did have citations so I would comfortable citing the article if I were to use it. Many if not all of the citations were either ".govs", from accredited universities, or from news publishers; So the references were very reliable. An interesting thing I saw on near the end of the article, was the clarification that the homicide and murder rate were different, obviously, but they further clarified that a portion of the homicide were from self defense which is a thing I never see.
