Op-Ed: Here's how we rebuild our communities
If you want to know what I think the solution is to the crisis in the Black community, it's this entire community response.

President Obama used the Harlem Children's Zone as a model to create "Promise Neighborhoods." It is a comprehensive strategy to provide educational and social service supports to disadvantaged communities. If you want to bring hope back to our inner-cities, and push back against the despair and sense of abandonment, provide real community infrastructure plans and make meaningful investments in rebuilding our educational and social supports in Black America.
