Unlike "Bridge over Troubled City"shared by colleague (Rachel Signor) people were "arrested" after the crowds "bottle-necked" traffic to a standstill. A small group of people prayerfully, quietly and peacefully expressed their emotions without chaos and outrageous drama like the Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King did, who had a dream for change.

A small rural town with a population of approximately 1700 have a dream to take back their community from the devastating affect of poverty and young misguided individuals who respond to extreme poverty and other social problems by resorting to violent behavior.
Whether we are talking about Brooklyn NY or rural Weldon NC. Poverty and social injustices will become worse before they get better, unless there is a change.
You be the judge, which approach will lead to change?
