LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY
Louisville, historically known as the largest city in Kentucky, is regarded as the 27th most populous city within the United States of America with an estimated area of 171.70 (66.29 mi²). This area is subdivided into two measures in that 159.12 (61.43 mi²) is the area covered by land, while 12.58 (4.86 mi²) is the total area covered by water (Goldstein, 2019). On comparison, the entire size of the United States stands at 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2), meaning that Louisville covers less than a quarter of the whole population. Being regarded as the 27th most populated city within the United States, Louisville has a joint population from different races as follows;
- White: 69.94%
- Black or African American: 23.46%
- Two or more races: 2.73%
- Asian: 2.69%
- Other race: 0.94%
- Native American: 0.18%
- Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.05

Whites being that larger population within this city means that they take the more significant percentage of the entire land as compared to non-whites. They (whites) are settled on the more substantial land portion when measured in kilometers square since their entire population doubles the population of the non-whites. Before enacting the Fair Housing Act known as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the Louisvillians never knew what the fair housing would be and how important it would mean among themselves. Before passing this law, it was believed that 45% of Louisville residents lived in extreme racial segregated regions. The low income people were subjected to limited geographic zones
The Louisville blacks are the people who experienced absurd housing conditions since they lived in areas with crowded and poor housing conditions. Exceedingly, the Louisville Board of Aldermen adopted a housing segregation ordinance in 1914, which prohibited the African Americans from occupying a property on the streets which have the majority of whites and the same mandate burred Whites from residing on the roadsides which were designated as the black blocks.
However, since the introduction of the Fair Housing Act in 1968, both races within Louisville united and brought in education on the importance of fair housing, which saw any race to stay at a place of interest without discrimination (Goldstein, 2019). During the 19th century, many educational and political institutions were brought up, which helped African Americans to fight against the segregation laws. After the ordinance of 1914, two representatives from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which comprises a black man and a white man came out to challenge the law and advocated for the end of discrimination on housing as all the races are equal and everyone is entitled to a better house.
Navajo found on the southern part of the Indian Reservation map was the largest tribe, which was taken as the reservation part in the 19th century as the Indians who were occupying these regions were displaced from these regions. Indians children were brainwashed that they will get a better education and taken to school. Still, the policy changed after the assimilation of these children, which saw them only taught basics such as how to cook and sewing techniques which they will use in whites houses to help them perform house chores. The government primarily benefited from the policies since it marked the agrarian revolution of the United States as the salves who were non-Americans could work on the firms to promote agriculture within the country. The story in this text is unusual in the sense that as whites are busy alienating themselves non-whites, there is that portion of them who helps non-whites to advocate for fairness. Also, these people advocated for the incorporation of all races in all of the activities equally.
The image shows how the battle between the Chinese and the Americans who were against them was being conducted. On the far side of the image, there is a picture of people bringing down “The Anti- Chinese Wall” while on the rear side of the picture, we have a picture of white people who are on the mission of constructing the wall. Their main reason for building the wall is to block the Chinese from accessing their boundaries (Potter, 2018). Indians were on the mission of assimilating into the white culture while whites were busy building walls, which could bure them from accessing their lifestyles. The image therefore justifies the war of assimilation which the whites never wanted.
