Silver Lining of Hope
Silver Lining of Hope
The Silver Lining of Hope is an organization committed to stop the unnecessary killing of young black men by other young black men. From 1984 to 2010 approximately 18,000 young men both African-American and Latino have been killed in gun violence. It’s gotten to a point where the community and the clergy in the inner city have decided that enough is enough. Too many young lives were cut short by senseless acts of violence and “keeping it real.”
Too many young men who live in hopelessness and a world of low expectations are lost to the mean streets of South Central and inner cities all across America. Many of these young men are often innocent bystanders who are students, brothers, fathers and neighbors. Many are cut down before they are allowed to realize their full potential. It is the hope of many inner cities, and the south-central area of Los Angeles that if the community mobilizes it can make a difference, and stop the killings.
