We talked to an architect. We're trying to do fundraising. We did a basketball game with our kids and the people from 92Q radio station, and 250 people came out on a rainy night. We did a fashion show. We've gone to visit the mayorI ask the parents for help, the same parents who see their children play basketball at night, they're just waiting for you to ask them.
Today there's a war, a holocaust for children in the inner city.
Six children died in violence in just two weeks in our neighborhood. Thirty-seven kids died violently in Baltimore just in the first two months of this year. This may happen in all cultures, but we African-Americans are doing it a lot, and we' re doing it to ourselves. Kids are dying violently, and it's the children who are killing each other. How I wish all children could go to school with peace of mind, not worrying about someone shooting them or stabbing or beating up on them.
