The City That Bleeds

Even though I thought the essay "The City That Bleeds" was boring, I read this essay many times to try to figure out what the author wanted to express. After that, I got the author's point. He informed that Baltimore was a tragedy anyway. As he mentioned, "Here in this courtroom, in this city, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing."(Lawrence, 45)  Because of the racial discrimination, Baltimore's poor future and black political control that they absurdly applied the white social order to the black community, many people who were protesting against the unjust killing of  people failed, and these caused the tragedy happened in Baltimore in 2014.
