People's Park

By Jose Gutierrez Jr., M.Ed. on August 19, 2010

This Saturday a historic rally of 1,000 Black Men will take place at People's Park on Hilltop Tacoma.  Inspired by a general void in consistent leadership, the need for empowerment and the general crisis of community apathy - the rally will include guest speakers and will be hosted by former Tacoma Poet Laureate Antonio Edwards.  The rally will address issues of education, leadership and ways to improve the conditions in our communities.
