SLANGED, DISSED AND DOGGED

With the number of positive things that so many young blacks are involved in--college, church, the arts and sports--why did Venant choose to glorify a gang member? I offer you a simple challenge of finding black youth doing something positive and write an article about them. For example, the two young black males on their way to Russia because of their high scholastic achievements. However, it won’t be easy. This may require you to do a little research.
