Good afternoon family: THIS FOOTAGE IS OF MYSELF AND BRO SAMMIE MUHAMMAD AT OAKWOOD PLAZA IN ELIZABETH NJ, WERE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MURDERS RECENTLY. WE WENT THERE TO TALK TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. THIS GROUP OF YOUNG MEN YOU SEE COMING OUT WAS IN THE HALLWAY, IT WAS AT LEAST 20 OF THEM. THE EXPERIENCE WAS BOTH QUITE TOUCHING AND TRAGIC AT FOR ME. SEEING THESE YOUNG FACES, SOME VERY YOUNG LOOKING DESPERATE AND HOPELESS IN THE HALLWAYS OF OAKWOOD PLAZA. I REPOST THIS BECAUSE WE NEED TO SEE, AND ALSO TO APPEAL TO ALL OF YOU TO DO SOMETHING. WE NEED MORE BLACK MEN INVOLVED, BECAUSE THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING. BRO SAMMIE, MYSELF, SALAAM ISMAIL, WE ARE COMMITTED TO NOT ONLY STOPPING THE VIOLENCE IN ELIZABETH, BUT IN LINDEN AND ROSELLE AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL. THESE YOUNG MEN TOLD ME THAT JOBS WOULD HELP THEM. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULD NOT EMPLOY ALL OF THEM RIGHT THEN, I HAVE TO DO BETTER. PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO KNOWS OF ANY JOBS PROGRAMS, OUT REACH OR TRADE SCHOOLS ANYTHING, PLEASE CONTACT ME ON FACEBOOK. I KNOW IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO MANY, BUT I TRULY BELIEVE AS A PEOPLE WE CAN BREAK THIS CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION THAT IS ELIMINATING BLACK PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO TRY,MUCH LOVE FAMILY, GOD BLESS ALL.
