Good day!
During a recent conversation with Jerome Underwood, President & CEO of Action for a Better Community (ABC) we agreed the article found at the link below is very important to share at this time and encourage you to read it. Without the forced practices, policies and history of the concentration of Blacks and other people of color in blighted sections of our country’s cities and the subsequent poverty and hopelessness we cannot begin to understand why crime and violence is so prevalent in those areas. This article provides you the background and information needed for understanding and action.
