A BALL LIKE NO OTHER Saturday, September 18, 2004 - 7:30 pm until late Historic Grain Belt Brewery Bottling House, 79 - Thirteenth Ave. N.E., Minneapolis
Along with a host of other partners, the PEACE Ball is brought to you by co-hosts: Council Member Don Samuels & Sondra Hollinger Samuels, Mayor R.T. Rybak & Megan O'Hara, Police Chief William McManus and Lourdes McManus THE CHALLENGE At first glance, the problem seems too large, too intractable. Minneapolis is home to some of the greatest racial disparities in the country. *African Americans are imprisoned at 20 times the rate of Caucasians *In 2000, 44% of all African American Hennepin County men had been arrested and booked *One out of every 9 Jordan Neighborhood residents is currently under court supervision But there is reason to be hopeful. The PEACE Foundation is not relying on traditional models and resources to create change. Instead of adopting a charity-based or social service model, the foundation is launching a grassroots movement capable of harnessing the power of individuals, employers, congregations, institutions, and organizations http://www.citypeace.org Posted by Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm REMINDERS: 1.
