The eviction system made arrangements for dogs but not for displaced families.

Evidence

“That was the part that I think came out in the eviction. When they came for me at three in the morning, they didn’t have a place for me and my family to go, but the animal shelter came because they knew that there were dogs there. They came with a place for my dog.” — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 34

Categorization

• CANDY: A haunting, tweetable detail — the animal shelter had a plan while the human family had none. It crystallizes the value gap in one image.
• SEED: A vivid anchor for the value-gap argument: worth building an essay around the inversion that canine provisions outpaced human ones.
