Dr. Roman: Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Your narrative is serving as confirmation for us and our work here in Grand Rapids, MI via the Urban League of West Michigan. We are intentionally leaning into the community violence space and working to establish a Cure Violence model here, as well as engage local, community based organizations to dispatch their human resources to the streets of GR to disrupt the spike in community violence. Your hypothesis is spot on and I was very much encouraged in reading your analysis. I understand you may be heading here to GR soon and I do look forward to making your acquaintance. Thanks again for sharing your intellectual capital. Shalom, Joe
Thanks for the very kind words. I'm looking forward to the Grand Rapids discussion next month, but unfortunately it looks to be via Zoom. It should be a lively discussion though, there is a lot of energy there.
