Can an educational community center prevent the extinction of young, black males? Brookhaven citizen Roy Smith says it can help.
Smith appeared before the Brookhaven Board of Aldermen during its regular meeting Tuesday, as he has monthly for approximately one year.
“I’m starting where I left off last year. Last year, our community was in fear, insecure and in a mode of violence. This year, it’s the same way,” Smith said. “No one cares, it feels like, especially our ranking members on this board. We need a Community Education Empowerment Resource Center for social education.”
