Incorporating Research: Example of "The Forgotten People"

QUOTE SANDWICH

TOPIC SENTENCE: LOWER 9TH WARD RELATED TO THESIS

STATEMENT OF INFO: In Juliette Landphair's essay "“The Forgotten People of New Orleans”: Community, Vulnerability, and the Lower Ninth Ward," she writes about the history of the Lower Ninth Ward before and after Hurricane Katrina. Landphair writes that the neighborhood is "historically neglected" (Landphair). Even before the hurricane, people did not pay attention to the neighborhood. This historical neglect is partly caused by a history of discrimination and prejudice in the United States and in New Orleans specifically.
