Healing the Village

Healing the Village

By Michael Montgomery

"It takes a Village to raise a child", we believe that, but what if the "village" is ill ? How can we expect the village to raise a well-child. We take an in depth view and analysis around the problems, challenges and opportunities to heal the village. The village is the African-American community and the inequities within such as: Mental/Physical health, Education, Financial, Legal, Drugs and Alcohol, Family challenges, Single-Parenting and the justice system.
