Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
This is a note from the protagonist of my novel in progress, Book I of my historical fantasy series: Who By Fire. He is answering my question about who his parents are:

Justice Department Alleges That Chicopee, Massachusetts, Housing Authority and its Executive Director Discriminated Against Tenants on the Basis of Race, National Origin and Disability | OPA | Department of Justice
The amended complaint alleges that, since at least 2013, Blazic has made discriminatory statements to and about Black and Hispanic tenants, including using racial slurs to describe current and potential residents, indicating a preference against having Black and Hispanic residents and demanding that Spanish-speaking residents speak English. According to the department’s amended complaint, Blazic’s statements have intimidated and threatened Black and Hispanic tenants.
