Good results in the face of tragedy- citizens of Baltimore join organizations in record numbers.
F. Taylor / Urbanintellectuals reported:Baltimore’s Big Brother Big Sister Program Participation Spikes 3,000%
After the death of Freddie Gray citizens of Baltimore have responded to the call for action. An increase in record numbers was reported for volunteers with Big Brother/Big Sisters program. Community involvement and care for youth is a great way to attempt to provide guideance/assistance to future generations while lobbying for change legal/police policy.
Question? Why hasn't the media posted these results and presented them to the public rather than only reporting looting/riots?
The media always giving what they want to give. The black community doing good in the community isn't a desirable story. Honestly, I stopped watching the news. Most of its BS because only half the story is told.
