This Must Stop – The Chicago Defender
The front page catches your eye and brings you straight to the editorial page. Here, it reads:
‘We have to formulate a way to make sure that criminals in our midst know that they are not welcome, that they are not safe, that there is no harbor for them…The only way that kind of criminal excess can be avoided is if we take responsibility, take control and stop letting criminals have their way, even if that means making a call to the police, or even putting a criminal out of your house.
This has to stop!”
Read the whole editorial from this week’s Defender and you appreciate what power comes into the hands of a newspaper when it stands up and says this is what we need to do in our community. Strong words. An unflinching dedication to a bound unbroken.
This is when the ethnic media is maybe one of the strongest tools we to have making a difference.
Read the editorial and you know it is talking eye to eye, heart to heart.
And here’s a story that accompanies the editorial.
