Mission Statement
I want to have a better understanding of the level of cultural diversity in Jackson Heights. I think by researching the various demographics I can eke insight on what type of people have and are sharing the neighborhood. Hopefully by the end of this course I will have satisfying knowledge of the area I live in.
