“Five of her classmates that were so touched by her...five of them flunked their 9th grade year. Three of them are in rehab. Two has tried to commit suicide several times. It doesn’t just affect one person, it affects the community,” she explained.“There’s a subculture of gun violence in the city of Mobile with young black men, and it’s high time we did something about it. So no one has to be called a racist anymore.
When are we as a city going to wake up and say, ‘let’s address this issue?’” questioned Young.“There’s work to be done. I stand by what I said a year ago. I told the truth and I’ll tell it again. But now we’re in the phase of solving the problems. We stated the problem. Now we want a solution.,” stated Young.“One thing that Men United Against Violence came up with is that we’re gonna bury the “n” word.
