What do you think ordinary people can do to make the United States better?

I think that people should take more active roles in their communities. People are spending time working to make ends meet and can’t take part in social and political movements.

Focus on raising children and helping other people raise children. The world is changing rapidly. The next generation has to take over where we left off.

Get more involved in their communities. I’m in a homicide survivors group. There are things you can do other than going on Facebook and complaining.

Get out there, march, make your voice heard. It can make a difference.

I wish mothers and fathers could get their children off their phones and electronic devices and show them what community is about.

Live the legacy of Dr. King and fight for justice in the streets. If they don’t hear us at the ballot box or in Congress, they will in the streets.
