“Drugs is the epidemic or the epitome or like a growing cancer in our neighborhood, it’s destroying black families.” -Roman Morrow

However,  police presence isn’t the only way to bring about change. “There is hope,” says Morrow, who will be holding a Halloween party for parents and children who don’t want to go door-to-door and face any potentially violent run-ins.

 

“I think there are people out here that’s working day in, day out, barely getting their bills paid to help the community. To the  people that’s fighting the fight, I’m going to say, ‘Thank you.’ They are the ones who are the unsung heroes trying to make a diff and getting little to no credit. I hate to call people activist, I always call them community professionals, and activist will sit there and march on the street [no matter what is going on], a community professional is somebody who’ll step up if somebody needs to step up.”
