Acknowledgments

I’d like to offer a special thanks to the Summers family, the Clarkson family, the Price family and the Robinson family. Their willingness to share their stories is what made this project possible. I would also like to thank my fellow classmates at Ohio University who helped make my idea a reality through their endless support and constant feedback.

I would like to thank the following people in Louisville for their help and support:
