Discrimination Kevin Boyle reveals the harmful nature of society in his book Justice Arc. During this era, most of the white race believed that they were superior to African Americans. This has caused a wide gap between the two races, in the areas of educational programs, health care, neighborhoods. Arc of Justice reveals the true reality of hostile discrimination against African Americans. Education was a symbol of entitlement and superiority among all races, but it was especially important to the Sweet family. The Sweets believed that deepening one's knowledge was an essential tool for success. However, discriminatory laws made it nearly impossible for any African American to thrive. According to the book, “In the beginning the smallest diseases for a white society were a major killer for the black race. Furthermore, he writes: “A truly desperate person might drag himself to one of Detroit's white hospitals, far outside Black Bottom. But there was a good chance he would receive no more than a quick visit to the doctor's office, since most white institutions would not admit Negroes, no matter how sick they were...”6 The discrimination caused serious damage to the health and dead, and the blacks knew they would not receive the help they needed. The book says: “Thus, in 1919, only 3 percent of Detroit's sick blacks went to the hospital for treatment, while the rest did their best to get by. They bought the patents of the medicines that the pharmacies had on the shelves." Even with the opening of the black hospital, Dunbar Memorial, run by Ossian and his colleagues, they continued to suffer the real hardships of discrimination. According to the text, “Dunbar survived thanks to donations from white charities and the continued efforts of the founders. It wasn't enough: the hospital was so small that it could only accommodate twenty-seven patients at a time, and so underfunded that it could only maintain one poorly equipped operating room." The ultimate health of a black American was not important in the eyes of white society. Countless blacks have suffered severe health declines because they have been unable to access healthcare facilities due to discrimination. Throughout the book Boyle makes it clear that mixed neighborhoods were socially and morally unacceptable. In Arc of Justice it says: “Neighborhood violence, however, cuts to the bone. Five times that summer, white mobs attacked blacks who had bought homes in all-white areas.” The Sweet family also experienced firsthand the racial violence that occurred while living in a white neighborhood. The book explains: “Then suddenly the window above [Ossian] shattered. A rock rumbled
