Potential Wikipedia Articles

I am currently considering working on the following page as a project for my class, PJHC 371 Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities:

1) Residential segregation in the United States

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_segregation_in_the_United_States

I would like to expand on this existing article, which has been classified as a start-class article of high importance. This is very relevant to the class, as it pertains to racial discrimination in housing appraisals that we discussed earlier in the course. I would like to edit some of the existing sections to update the language used. Additionally, I’d like to expand the “Homeownership” section by adding a subsection about discriminatory housing appraisals. The “Gentrification” section could also be expanded, as it is very short and contains no statistics or case studies.
