What if this were, instead, 5000 young urban black men? How would it change them? How would it change their families? How would it change Oakland? And Chicago? And Newark? And D.C.? And…

What would it do for hearts?
Thank you Rachel Kadner from the Habitot Children’s Museum for sharing this on Facebook today.
