As community boundaries are not visible, a mapping process from the Geographical<br />

Information System (GIS) divides it. It combines several types of information into a<br />

single picture. The base map is physical features (roads, city limits, county boundaries)<br />

onto which other variables (e.g. race, income, water service, etc.). If needed, the<br />

processing system can also show other types of economic variables to draw<br />

conclusions about the area. Once the individuals begin to understand this information<br />

and realize what is happening to them, they have the power to hold the government<br />

accountable and can fight back against the institutionalized discrimination.<br />
