Right now, our city and county are experiencing an overweight and obesity epidemic. We must expand and strengthen our community efforts to impact this serious health challenge, especially as it relates to our children.

We have a huge obesity problem -- 10 to 20 percent. It's an epidemic; it's only going to get worse if we don't do something about it.

It's a great way for the community to get to know our school.

It's not just the job, it's the total experience of the community.

Get everybody back at work and keep our community as it is.

We were visited by whites, who always found coming into the black community to be interesting. Some even found it exotic. They knew that some of our restaurants were superior to their own. One of the interesting things is that whites discriminated against blacks. Blacks never discriminated against whites, and so they were always welcome.
