Thanks for bringing attention to Baltimore here. It was my home for three years and I still work here. “What’s Broken in Baltimore,” is what is broken in this country. I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen for years. People can only be neglected and degraded for so long.
I’ve been heartened by the community action in Baltimore this past week. If they can maintain the energy and continue to put pressure on elected officials, change is possible. I really believe that.
Beautifully articulated Leyla. Sums it up.
Today, President Obama announced a new nonprofit, My Brother’s Keeper Alliance http://goo.gl/ht60ZS
Forgot to say, This is one of my favorite New Yorker covers. Congrats to Peter Mendelsund.
That’s quite a compliment, as so many of them are spectacular. I also love the one after the Charlie Hebdo massacre. http://goo.gl/zqc8Al
