Finshing Touches

So far so good i finished up my webliography and I'm starting to finish up my foundations questions. Know the only problem is that im looking for someone to interview. i have somebody to but i dont know if he will be able to with his schedule so i might just ask him if he says no i dont know what im going to do.

Foundation Questions

• What type of trouble are the kids in?
• What are the locations that the kids live in?
• What agency's offer basketball programs?
• What are the mission statements for these agency's?
• Is it stereotypical to put a basketball into inner-city youth's hands to keep them out of trouble?

New Topic: Why Does It Seem Like In The African American Communities To Solve Everyone Males Problem They Use Basketball As An Outlet!!!!

The reason that i changed my topic is because the golfing idea would be more expensive and it wasn't a good topic for me because i wouldn't have the time to do it.
