Rep. Carlos Henriquez “Violence is a virus”

“Violence is a virus”
The City of Boston like any other urban center in America is affected by violence each day. Any community that has been red-lined by banks for over 30 years, left behind in the quality of education offered publicly and faces un-employment at nearly double the rate of the rest of the communities around it will surely face levels of violence at a disproportionate level. These issues are long standing and systemic that must be acknowledged and addressed.

There are a number of companies and organizations that have donated monies for scholarship use to minorities, however a great deal of the money is being returned due to a lack of interest or even worse, a lack of knowing that these scholarships exist.
