Sojourners Still

"Children Playing London Bridge," William H. Johnson

It seems, we spend so much time, as a community, worrying about saving our young black males, that we often forget about the young black females. Many of them are just as angry as the young black males that everyone is focusing on. And many of them are being impacted -- greatly -- by the anger of young black males.

But what about the very real threats to us (some by them)?!?!
