Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect
"Its time, time to make a change..." The Winans
Enough fluffy , sweet sentimentality. What the HELL got into Harlem on Memorial Day? How do we get control of our kids again? Snatch them off of the streets one by one and get them involved in something...anything, just get them involved! We have got to rein in the control again. It is my destiny to be able to find a way to reach young people in a meaningful way. I need a place to be able to say to them, "You are welcomed here, come on in. Treat me and this space with the respect deserved and you will be treated in the same." Too often the adage, "Idle hands is the devil's playground.", proves true over and over again. We who benefitted from true community spirit, owe it to today's youth, because they are killing themselves off, and won't be around to teach their offspring ANYTHING! Yes, it is time to make a change, and we are the ones who will do it.
