@raduceuca This was helpful. I've tried to learn in the past myself, but the React/Redux ecosystem has so many different pieces I wasn't sure where to start wrapping my head around it. Thanks for your response! I'm definitely going to use Replace Cover

This is very cool. What resources did you use to teach yourself React? I'm impressed you built this is in ten days and I'd love to learn how to put something together like this.

This book is fantastic. As an avid reader of Los Angeles urban history and policy, I was totally absorbed by the author's novel and convincing (and sadly, timely) perspective on South Central's history of gang violence and its relationship with the police. Leovy describes two complementary forces at play. First, Leovy makes the case that in environments where the rule of law isn't enforced, violence will flourish. This is true worldwide and not exclusive to black neighborhoods. Second, Leovy argues that while there is a strong police presence in South Central that resembles (and fashions itself as) an occupying military force, it's focused on aggressive crime prevention rather than investigation. The LAPD deploys frustratingly few detectives to investigate crimes in South Central compared to wealthier, whiter neighborhoods. This means black murders go unsolved and unpunished – as if the victims' lives never mattered – and the rule of law is unenforced. This books makes the tragic and tangible point that black lives are indeed valued less by institutions of power in Los Angeles and across the nation. Read it.
