And look the other way? Song: "In the Ghetto". Historical context of the word "ghetto" and its impact on marginalized US communities; systemic inequalities #TOEIC550 #英検Pre-1 #CEFR B2
This song is so descriptive and emotional and eloquent. The term "ghetto" is the urban label, while those of us growing up in smaller towns used the term "on the other side of the tracks," because the early railroads in the South split towns along racial lines.
Hello Louise! What a tender and insightful exploration of this Elvis song, to include the Great Migration! The song still teaches us today. Thank you, friend!
I thought that simply explaining the lyrics wasn’t enough. We need to understand some of the root causes of the mother’s plight. With your help, I think we were able to do this. There is so much more to the context, but there’s only so much you can do in 800 words. I hope that this article encourages readers to go out on their own and learn more. x
One of my favorite all time songs.

Yes, you’re right, Rick. I’d forgotten about that term.
In our hometown, you may recall, it was “Mi Barrio”…
Orale!
Orale pues!
