Another thoughtful a...Non-Flash-Mob for the Fourth<br /><br />Another thoughtful and heroic action to honor the victims and reduce violence in our Howard County community would be to use our “bombs-bursting-in-air” fireworks budget this year to make an evening of quiet reflection and family time with our children, teens, and young adults, opening our public spaces to their locally-made music, dance and arts on the Fourth of July. We could use the funds we save to create a multi-disciplinary task-group creating a program which addresses the cultural gap in nutrition, education, neurological development and attitudes that has 40% of white males and 50% of young men of color arrested before age 21. As one of the best places to live in America, we could start the “Non-Flash-Mob for the Fourth," a wave that could move through our state and the nation.<br />Lady Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277370726039528087noreply@blogger.com
