While traveling recently to Atlanta, as a ProBono Atty and supporter of the Innocense Project, while in my hotel, i began to re-read the book "Yoruga" by Marimba Ani. While reading, I began to

The Chicago Tribune recently had a forum hosted by WVON's Cliff Kelley, and there were no major headlines in the days after the forum, like many others that have put any kind of dent in the continued rise in Chicago Violence. Is one reason that major media seems to make more of the headlines of calling in the National Guard than they do to local community groups who have identified solutions "on the ground" that could truly help stop the rise in Chicago violence, shootings, and killings.
