We are losing our black youth in New Orleans and it's a crisis
Ubuntu director Ernest Johnson published a column in the New Orleans Advocate. Read it in full HERE.
"Most disturbingly, the memo states: “The judges believe that this action will send a message to citizens of their commitment to public safety and help rid the community of youth who pose a danger to the community.” When we begin to see other people’s children as disposable, as problems to get rid of, we have truly turned away from compassion and rehabilitation."
