Saving The Village - The Black Condition Conference 2

The Black Condition Conference was amazing, the Keynote Speakers Senator Ron Rice and Lawerence Hamm set the stage for a call to action in Paterson with the main message being VOTE, don't just register but go out and vote... Founders of Save The Village Ernest Rucker Jr and Brent Nation brought a vision to Paterson that needs to be addressed each and every day if we are to survive, if our communities are to survive and if our children are to survive. Unlike last year which was packed with concerned Patersonians and Public Officals this conference was attened by a small crowd and a few Public Officals. None the less the message was clear, we are the help that we need and we are the help we have, in other words work with what you have until you can get better...
