I recently visited my hometown, Chester, PA during the 4Th. I had a wonderful time catching up with family and friends who are like family. I learned that there was a curfew set in place for all residents because of the violence that was taking place, mainly shootings and killings. I traveled with my children, both female, 12 and 11 months old. I thought about my upbringing and the fact that I survived and graduated high school here, but I am wondering...what is it that our youth is missing, and why we can't connect or relate to them, reach them?
We ask is it the music, the parents, the community. It's probably a culmination of things. But how do we reach our youth, where does it start, and how?
These kids have no clue about the possibilities that are beyond the street corners and illegal hand guns, the narcotics. And what do we do about our young ladies that follow them, have babies with them?
Let's talk about it?
