1. The National Black Political Convention, or the Gary Convention, was held on March 10–12, 1972 in Gary, Indiana. The convention gathered around ten thousand African-Americans to discuss and advocate for black communities that undergo significant economic and social crisis.

5. A national call to break a pipeline of poverty that results in the arrest, conviction, incarceration, and in some cases, death of thousands of predominantly racial-ethnic minority youth.
6. Racial economic inequality is a foundational feature of the United States, yet many Americans appear oblivious to it. Americans vastly underestimate racial economic inequality, especially the racial wealth gap.

Answer: Scout fought Walter Cunningham because she blamed him for being punished on the first day of school.
Explanation:
Jean Louse Finch, known under the nickname "Scout", is a young girl, and a character from Harper Lee's novel, <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>.
At the beginning of <em>Chapter 3</em>, it is the first day of school, and the teacher criticizes Scout's father for teaching her how to read. Scout is upset by the teacher's criticism, but the situation becomes even worse later, when the teacher offers Walter Cunningham money for lunch. Scout, aware of the financial situation of the Cunningham family, explains to the teacher that Walter never borrows money, because he cannot pay back. As a result of Scout's behavior (which the teacher considers inappropriate), Scout is punished and her hand is smacked. Scout, clearly angry and frustrated, blames Walter for her bad day, and decides to "rub his nose in the dirt."
