The article titled “Battle in Black and White” discusses Amy Fox’s grandparents fight for racial equality in World War II veteran housing in Manhattan. The nutgraph, which begins with “It was hard to imagine…,” addresses the arc of the story and places the issue in context: the efforts of activists fighting for racial equality in housing. In writing this conflict story, Fox incorporated herself into the article: an efficient tactic as it added an emotional component to the story.  In addition to interviewing people, such as Stuyvesant residents, she did a significant amount of library research and referred to magazines, such as Esquire, to conduct her research. To compile information, she consulted a variety of sources, including her grandparents’ story and information from the chairman of Metropolitan Life Insurance and Stuyvesant residents. I particularly appreciate Fox’s use of specific details, such as the $3,000 cost of a 2-bedroom apartment, as this provides more concrete material for the reader to confide in.
