We tend to parade when a youth is killed. How about looking to celebrate our youth’s accomplishments in a major way! Students are graduating from school, selecting to further their education through Colleges, Universities, Trade School , Armed services, etc. - and the lists goes on. What if those with the power to influence organized a salute to our children nationwide by having a day in which children wearing shirts indicating where they are going after high school joined with youths who have started their journey to their career goals. We tend to see more parties organized for people returning from incarceration. We need to really begin to highlight our children’s accomplishments.
