I choice this graph, because it shows the number of children living under the poverty line in America. It also shows that number of children under the poverty line is different for each race.  Different groups are affected by poverty in different ways. The Hispanic group has the highest number of kinds living in poverty, yet the Asian group has the lowest risk of poverty.  This information raises a big question. Why is the poverty rate different for each race? This could be because a various  reasons.
