What Will It Take for Young Urban Black Children To Be Freed From Gang Influences?


Will the Denver mayor and police chief and new governor use the publicity accompanying the murder of Denver Broncos football player Darrent Williams to mount an attack on gangs? So far, there is no indication they will, even though it appears to be a gang-involved murder. Will celebrity athletes like Carmelo Anthony and Alan Iverson use this tragic event to separate themselves once and for all from the gang influences they grew up with? So far, there is no indication they will. I know it is easier said than done, but who will finally have the courage to break the silence?
