3 Charged in Carjacking of Pastor Marvin Winans


Thank God that Pastor Marvin Winans was not injured more severely.  It is such an outrage that we have a society where young Black men do not believe they can make a living in a normal manner and think that their only avenue of financial acquisitions is to steal from others who have mastered the means of legitimate survival in one way or another.  When are we as a Black community going to take responsibility for this ugly, shameful and unacceptable behavior?   What are we are a people going to try harder to do something about it.  

I applaud the men in my own church who are working to mentor young African-American males in our community on a bi-monthly basis for several years.  It is only a small group, but we have to save them one at a time.  It takes an entire community, so if we cannot do it firsthand, we can be supportive of any and all efforts for programs of personal contact to take place wherever they can.  I believe that Pastor Winans will find a way for increasing whatever efforts that will be developed to help restore dignity and respect for all people in the Detriot community.  I wish, hope and pray for his good results.
