Truth talkers. What I heard from this group of African American women is their initiative of truth talking between the communities and authorities.

Hillary Clinton was in Missouri meeting with some very talented African American women. They are professionals and have been working hard to understand what is going on within the communities, such as Ferguson, to end the senseless deaths and promote stronger communities.

Ready for this. There are virtually minimal numbers of male African American teachers. The panelists also state, there is a need to work between the community and the police. There are cultural differences to varied to bridge the gap between community and authorities. Basically, these ladies are taking households one at a time to improve the understanding of the community and bring about greater understandings between the community members and the authorities that limit their choices.

Hillary also stated Americans could live in two different communities about twenty miles apart and the disparity in longevity in each community is eighteen years difference.

We have a lot of work to do and the sooner we start pre-school with American children the sooner these cavernous cultural divides will change. Poverty breeds dysfunction.

This particular community also uses saving accounts for placing hope of higher education within the grasp of parents. The city begins a savings account for the babies born. As a result parents aim higher in their expectations of their children. The parents invest more time with their children as well. 

The community is incredible. There are huge disparities in our minority communities. Huge. It has to change and it doesn't begin because they are cheering the same sports team 20 miles apart.
