Exactly. I was born in Newark, experienced much of my life here, and live here now. Most people look at Newark and just see “building opportunity”, with no regard to the actual condition of Newark, in terms of its residents, income and quality of life. And it’s upsetting, because Newark can be GREAT, but only if it gets the help it actually needs and not the “help” people want to give it.

Peace was a cousin of mine through marriage and I also went to Benedict’s where he taught. I was even in the same group as him: Father Dunstan Smith. I have the book and read it, and I won’t watch the movie, but I value them as pieces to educate people about Newark and the troubles that come with it. Please watch and please read.
