The number of Coban cases Unrelenting march upward in many parts of the country this past week is frightening is that news is almost especially worrisome for black Americans who, for variety of reasons are at highest risk of old Allison Albury will report a cover story the nation erupted in protest over police brutality.

Casey and Matthews had her own struggle have never been in my life.

I didn't think I was coming home. It was hard. Black Americans are at higher risk of adding the coronavirus people are real hungry and they all heard coming up on Sunday morning. Race and the pandemic doing a late-night talkshow without a studio audience has been tough on comics cover no host of the daily show include using conversation this morning with Jim Axelrod when you think you be back to Trevor. No one took the daily show online everybody paranoia and for the standup comic is really interesting about what's happening in America right it's become a standout moment.

How do you find the funny sometimes. I don't find the funny units. I use the funny to deal with life's lessons ahead on Sunday morning, the workers asking the perennial question what's cooking but is not just any chef. He's dining with the award-winning chef Dominique Karen to spend it with chef Dominique Karen. Each pleat is a unique creation with an eclectic mix of ingredients to delight the pallet seaweed apple butter and she doesn't consider herself a chef. I just found a way of speaking was another pen is not to brush it was food later on Sunday morning.

What's cooking with Dominique Karen. Seth don't walk the store room without tourists maraca talked with actress Melissa Gilbert about the new popularity of an old TV classic Little House on the Prairie plus code update from Dr. Donald kook thoughts from Steve Hartman and the great-grandson of Theodore Roosevelt weighs in on the debate over our statues. His views this might surprise you. Those stories and much more on this Sunday morning for 12 July 2020 will be right back as merciless as viruses for so many. It is particularly aggressive for black Americans who seem to be at highest risk for variety of reasons, cover story is reported by Allison Albury of National Public Radio protest against police brutality began in late May Matthews lay in a hospital bed paddling code 19 really could not breathe it. I just felt, no air, no nothing scary with hair finding fast. I know where can like it just hit.

She was treated by a team of doctors at Johns Hopkins University, including Dr. Elliott Santos according forget how she looked pure in her eyes.

Realizing she could die Casey and Matthews of the Baltimore native and was just about to graduate degree in criminal justice and forensic science Coppin State University, but it wasn't clear if she'd survive have never been in my life. I didn't think I was coming home. It was hard. Young adults are much less likely to die from COBIT 19 but Lisa was telling us her pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and my heart sank and I wasn't as dealing with now up 27-year-old someone with one of the variables that we know is been a great likelihood of worse symptoms. According to people with chronic diseases such as heart disease and type II diabetes are a staggering 12 times more likely to die from the virus and black Americans have a higher prevalence of these conditions, Casey. It was in the hospital for three weeks and on a ventilator for six days when she was finally released, she emerged with a new sense of urgency to come out Thursday.

I need to I don't ever want to be put in a situation like that again.

But her determination is just one piece of the COBIT puzzle. The lifestyle changes needed to tackle chronic disease are often difficult to make in economically challenged area. One of the reasons why we see disparities ravaged in the minority populations because those kind of like the requests are really hard to do in neighborhoods that are plagued by homicide neighborhoods that are plagued by deserts. The challenge there is resources to give them the opportunity to overcome that were at a pace that my opinion is unethical, mean mom that Mashita talk him off in West Baltimore people now hungry and they all heard you heard it before.

The bar was really doing so because a lot of that we serve these little ones that are less hard first five Dr. golly teamed up with Peter to address these obstacles and Dr. G 70 questions that happen to answer any on this day either answering question that a community event loss where fresh produce and grocery gift cards are being handed out the best? You're sick and tired of where nature and God really dictate their own. Dr. golly thought Joe's goal is to build relations medicines.

A public trust. We can't just know the science we have to know the patient and the community by bringing him here you're building bridges with roots going through this last film and get going right now to the people truck and Dr. partnerships between doctors and community leaders like a mama mean and help build trust. Okay physician Serena Golden is the chief diversity officer at Johns Hopkins medicine. The reason those trusted messengers are so important is that there are many of these local communities that are distrustful of the healthcare system so this is because of prior historical experiences from the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment in the 1940s when treatment was deliberately withheld from black man to Dr. James Marion Sands in the 1800s to perform surgical experiments on enslaved black women with no anesthesia.

The history of racist mistreatment of black Americans by the medical establishment is well documented and what still persists today is the misperception that black people are somehow different from other groups of people. There's been so this questioning that are African-Americans more genetically or biologically vulnerable to contracting COBIT. 19 and there is no evidence of that.

There is nothing genetic or biological about working in a service sector where you have to be essential and you just expose because you happen to be there so there is there is no evidence that genetics is playing into this at all, but another factor that likely is playing into this. What about the role of stress. Stress can make people more prone to infections. So what happens is that it alters your body's immune response so that you may be less likely to be able to fight infection as well. The structural racism that induces a form of chronic stress thinking about where's my next meal going to come from work three shifts tonight and then I have to worry about my child getting pulled over by the police, like those chronic stressors even though you may not feel you are acutely stress they are still impacting your hormonal system.

Looking back 19 survivor, Casey and Matthews says she was under tremendous stress when she got the virus working full time job, going to school seven classes at one time. Two hours of studying three I was asleep and all that takes its toll him on his side. Amine points out black people in Baltimore and around the country are more likely to have the types of jobs that you cannot do from home. That means that there are schools all, people all day long. Whatever the big debate about the gold for the family. It's one more reason why Blacks and Latinos are about three times as likely to get COBIT 19 but Casey and Matthews says she's now full of hope when she emerged from the hospital to see black lives matter painted on street and white people joining black people to protest injustice. She saw it as a single progress, go to the especially best. My next career goal also goes along with me and my hope schools know you have to be healthy for in shape so another thing is and Dr. Golding says that Casey and Matthews deserves the country that rewards that determination. This is an important time for us as a country to really think about what are the things we value what do we want to focus on how can we use our power of legislation to really address the issues of making our communities healthier making our community safer when you think you were wrong. Liz and pushing for change in your own community. I want my people see I want them have someone they can trust. I want to have someone they can look up to. You seem hopeful. I am hopeful and determined one always be hopeful as we told you: 19 numbers are on the rise in parts of the country.

So what is that all about your Dr. John the book, let's talk about facemasks in April, we learned that people with few or no symptoms could shed coronavirus and infect others. That meant we could no longer rely on the simple advice to stay home with your sick so health officials advise where he facemasks to prevent people with COBIT 19 from spreading it to others, but many have chosen not to wear masks for variety of reasons, including people not realizing or not caring that they might get infected. To be fine, but they could spread the virus to somebody else who could die wearing a mask became entwined with politics rejected by many as an on the right is the science that explains why wearing a mask is so important when we cough or sneeze larger airborne droplets containing virus can travel usually up to about 6 feet. We now know that smaller particles can be admitted simply by talking or singing can go much farther and linger in the air for hours.

The Centers for Disease Control says respiratory spread of coronavirus between people occurs mainly within 6 feet. We don't know yet how much of the spread of COBIT 19 is due to virus traveling in the air greater than 6 feet but could help explain events like the choir practice in Washington state where one person apparently affected 52 others inside a church last week.

Nearly 240 scientists urged the World Health Organization to acknowledge the importance of aerosols in potentially spreading COBIT 6:19 feet and response for the first time.

The WHO acknowledged evidence emerging of airborne spread of the novel coronavirus especially crowded close, poorly ventilated settings. More research is needed including defining exactly what is a safe physical distance, both indoors and outdoors is what makes sense to me we should wear facemasks when physical distancing is not possible.

We need to develop more effective, more comfortable, reusable facemasks and a top priority should be improving ventilation in our buildings that can be as simple as opening a window or cracking a door that could include making sure there is adequate air exchange between the inside and outside and installing better air filtration systems. We should not be frightened by the possibility of airborne spread of coronavirus. We should do something about saying when in Rome presupposes a directly supposition wildly off base. This summer as halftone who lives there now shows there's no doubt roams spectacular backdrop remains but in the wake of the coronavirus, something else is missing. They are the largest demographic and without them we just don't have a business and the child is talking about the American tourists. She's always relied on to book best matures through the eternal city with their company screwed aroma first met the Minnesota native in 2017.

Working on a Sunday morning story about the stylish scooter synonymous with Italy at the time. Business was good. I always pride myself with that. Every year we grow we do more than the year before. Except this year 2019. More than 5 1/2 million Americans visited Italy, spending nearly $3 billion but one travel industry group predicts this year may be the worst for tourism in decades last week, the European Union extended its ban on American traveler sense: everything is changed. We lost 100% of our bookings all all of them last June, for example, Bo Gile and her crew took more than 400 people on trips.

Typically they make pitstops here for gelato midweek up. Dino says they've lost upwards of 60% of their business.

Day where and the tourist is at the center as cancellations piled up.

Gile started taking pictures of a Rome that was almost unrecognizable without the throngs of tourists in his Italy is reopened its museums and famous sites are notably quiet. A lot of people say that realm has returned to the Roman by it is absolutely devastating for the economy and the tourism sector is the first file I saw that trickle down at another stop on her to to stop to market. She brings visitors for pizza at Casa Banco you're working with about 1/3 of the business so you lost about 70% Paola Mongeau Mrs. Americans even there. Culinary peculiarities really needs on their chicken on the modern tourism industry ever seen anything like this pandemic. This crisis, Jennifer E do is with the European travel commission. She says the rest of Europe is facing the same problems.

One issue of being able to afford it. People have lost jobs, there's another issue for simple confusion. Can I get to one place another, will there be flights will there be quarantine role confusion. There is a lot of effort to make this situation is willing to go on school aroma is hoping to attract tourists coming from within Europe and is adjusting to COBIT by offering rides with masks socially distanced walking tours featuring street art during the luck that was impossible anywhere inside a cage like tigers and cage it turns out, even street artist did by the pandemic was very problem because we had a lot of updates I will work this painting around the word. Everything is we lost like for the commission to work human interaction and meeting people from all over the world and happiness.

Exchange of energy and he oh Gile has written off the summer season as she fights to save her business is focusing on what she can control her patients were just waiting.

I always say. All I know is what's happening today and tomorrow and then we'll see about the rest was a Gilbert terms TV audiences decades ago was the child star of little house on the prairie. These days morocco tells us that you're likely to find her down on her for these days. Melissa Gilbert called County New York home while you're doing that. I'll just be going to very rustic look in my hands. I have blisters from shoveling and there's dirt everywhere constantly is given up.

This is our house in the Catskills. I guess you could call it what you die is a setting that shoots Gilbert well after all we first met her gambling through the great outdoors is more Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie based on the beloved series of books and one of the most watched TV shows of the 1970s and early 1980. It was like a really great camp also got to play the ultimate game of dress-up and being those fantastic closing the button up boots and don't remember it ever napping fun about little house is stealing reruns. In fact, its popularity has recently been spiking why are people watching the show now – with everything going on in the world right now.

I think from what I'm hearing from people that little house in the Prairie is a reminder of when things were simpler for us in our lives is 45 years ago when the show debuted in 1974, the country was in the midst of an oil crisis session and the Watergate scandal then provided people with a reminder of what we went through when we started this country and how difficult that wise I think were at that place again get done what we did in the 1800s in the 1970s, we can do this. The keys are going to be compassion community faith, whatever that faith looks like love that's all that matters. Some of the episodes seem to of been produced. The vision of 2020.

There's one about a plane plague is the episode the rats family from here a family from Marinette spread not only why the source. Another about wanting to go straight home and you will not play at one another's homes are far this is a quarantine until further notice in this one about race with Dr. Todd Bridges playing a child of former slaves who comes through Walnut Grove and is taken in by the Ingalls family behind me for the question itself is intense Michael Ames reaction no not really. I just nine years old. She was cast.

Start opposite Michael Landon is already Landon didn't just play Charles Ingalls Lawrence Paul. He kind of was the shows path writing and directing episodes and executive producing the series, you were just a kid with a lot of lines to learn a lot of words but more than just a lot of words I did a lot of running think I ever walked anywhere on the action and you always know your lines cold only one time did I not know my lines only happen once I kept forgetting and I kept forgetting and Michael finally kind. He said you know your lines. Steve declared that he made everybody go burst into tears first and tears as I was busted, Davis Allen, your lines and we definitely didn't get and I finally got it and I was ready and I said thank you so much and I gave him a hug and he said you're still welcome any got downright frightening. He said, and that is never happening again. Is it that you two. Dressed like church no butts about it that you made a mistake developed and it never did.

Gilbert's off-camera life was more complicated people. I do not have a family tree have a family shrub. She was adopted a day after her birth by actors Barbara Crane and Paul Gilbert. When Melissa was 11 she was told. Her father died of a stroke.

I was 45 when I found out that my father had taken his own life at what I was very deeply hidden secret from pretty much everybody in my life. Do you think it was a good thing that was hidden from you, you know, I think it's my thing, that it was hidden from you might might like my fault. That's what I've been dealt. What I do something like that with my kids know but because I know how damaging those kind of secrets can be that expression. You're only as sick as your secrets is absolutely true Melissa Gilbert is 56 now mother and grandmother and married to actor Timothy Brassfield. She's the woman she is today. She says because of her upbringing in Walnut Grove absorbed so much without even realizing what I was learning important life lessons about family and community tolerance because I was understand the things they became part of what I do shows values where they come from the shows values I think were absolutely reflection of the values of our leader of my client. He wise man he believed that people are always really good at heart and that anyone is redeemable and that the only way to change things is to do it from a place of love and fairness and understanding. It's unfortunate for so many reasons that he passed away when he did, because I think his voice would have been an incredibly important place to have today.

Michael Landon was just 54 when he died from cancer in 1991, the show he helped bring to television has never been off the air.

What you think Michael Landon would think if he knew the people were still embracing the show like it) and repeat proud and thrilled. I think that he would be here talking here instead of me and I gladly, the chair this is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition United States put our mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation or motor situations not being matched up to follow.

Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts. She's an award-winning chef in one of our most beloved cities.

The worker of 60 Minutes, asks Dominic Krohn what's cooking so smells delicious dishes to solutions for cool vid 19 spread to California symbol. We visited French chef Dominique Karen and her six-year-old twins at her picturesque organic farm in Sonoma County north of San Francisco. The calmness of displays is okay is bring that back to the craziness of the kitchen and become like I can taste that yes I'm now also the farm was sprouting to life in the California sun.

The early spring seemed to renew the land and credit you clear your mind, you wet the time was busy overseeing her growing enterprise to restaurants, a bar and a soon to open bakery is being disabled on Sherry, then the coronavirus hit the streets Who is dull risk yeah is not the day I see 567 rest on that we never one of the world's leading chef friend was pained by how the virus afflicted the restaurant industry when Californians were ordered to shelter in place in March. Karen had to lay off 50 staffers restaurant, a small business. He can make maybe up to 5% atelier Christian or three-star centerpiece known for its dazzling interpretations of French food began providing meals for front-line workers and selling dinners through the front window restaurant is no go. Yeah, this was atelier Christian on a Friday night before the virus dinner service well orchestrated symphony of motion in the kitchen chef Jean Christophe Borghi no works with Maestro Karen to design each course. He tastes each before serving. Some nights they serve 15 courses a sitting each play a piece of art within eclectic mix of ingredients to delight the palate like this Tartar of spiny lobster.

I got to taste to is wonderful. Dominique Karen never went to culinary school, but food is her passion, but after arriving in California from France in 1988. She worked her way through kitchens in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and in 2011. She opened atelier Christian no chocolate mousse shifts. Why don't chef is someone that I found a way of speaking was another pen is not to brush it was food. So are you an artist. Yes, he catapulted her to the forefront of American ships, the Netflix shows chef's table and the James Beard raised her profile earning three Michelin stars is given criminal platform to influence the way we relate to food dishes.

She recently cut meat from the menu that hasn't cut her customers or her accolades one Michelin star to Michelin star of high numbers on something good first woman in the United States to get three-star light were also the first woman to get to Michelin stars. Yeah it's it's it's it's interesting to be the first one you said first she met chef right one point you were called the world's best female chef what one you roll your eyes when you bristle with because I was I was to be served.

Ministry has diminished the custody hangers as being the best ship but you can't sync during the size while missing through Montrose on their own speak someone that is we get the word why not the world's best ship right she knows what her authentic self and viciousness and how to make that a reality in the world land that wasn't anyone else's rules chef friend listen to her heart and got engaged actress Maria Bello of CBS's NCIS in December, Krenz new memoir is dedicated to Bello. In her memoirs, dedication, Dominic calls you the love of her life was that mean to you.

It's nice to believe in fairytales 868 I we split each other up from the first minute we met it said that it felt so familiar and comfortable.

My depths and layers of Tom's food that's if she is in life to the way that she builds layers of flavors for Lipo plants of love buoyed by the love of her life and her love of food. Karen was on top of the world, but last year her world was shaken like a California earthquake when she learned she had breast cancer. I remember as my doctor I am, I'm in trouble. I say no to get to do the work and and then you start to pick the Leo who you are such a look at yourself in the mirror and you like stuttering so much about who you are, love of humanity your health today.

Amazing and good.

My has coming back. My eyelashes cancer free, but I'm good I'm stronger than ever with indoor dining in California on hold. Krenz says she's eager to open her restaurant again with modifications like partitions between the seating skill set we needed as a new experience. Dominique Karen calls herself a warrior.

She survived cancer and she has no doubt her restaurants will survive the coronavirus that is amazing.

Something was cancer is okay. I have something in front of me and I'm never dealt with before can be hard but I'm going to do it not been invited.

I'm going to win this department. Now the story of one man's encounter with police and it's remarkable. After Dale and MacLean for hating the police. He was falsely accused of pointing a gun at an officer spent a year in jail or jury finally acquitted, not to mention the countless traffic stops from the house violation. How does it make you feel about police in general. The animosity is blessing them among the other way. That was the brought to the street corner in Uniontown Pennsylvania last Dale and Susie rushed after hearing a huge crash. There's a lot of screaming K off all my children. I think of it was a bad traffic accident involving a police car officer trapped inside gas tank leaking flame spreading toward the Another officer who responded to the crash tried to rescue scholarly can get the door open and that's when a loan bystander step toward the burning wreckage that bystander Mr. Daley quickly on the hog at the door open a grand mal ball is in the door.

Just as with the J as the officer daily risk. It's amazing when there's true love and before they can get you out of something like that, no matter who you are where you come from, there should be more people and certainly if there were more people like that there be more moments like this last week Daley came over to check on officer meat is very thankful wife is so that's the other thing they're grateful despite all his run-ins with the law dealing still believes there are a lot of good cops with deep appreciation. Thank you in times of rage we often paint groups with a broad brush, but Dalen says at some point you have to go back to the fine lines between good and bad, because in that subtlety lies our humanity, people start to look at everyone as Americans, not his wife is black is Asian were people start realizing that they should in a small way I think they just did the world follow suit hope so man that was whatever how to be funny without an audience. That's an issue for late-night hosts like terminal and something he talks about in conversation with Jim Axelrod. A lot of us in a while since Trevor Nolan Saturday at the office when you think you will just about four months ago 36-year-old host of Comedy Central's daily show. Also, a Viacom, CBS property, said goodbye to his studio audience. You know this will show you and started life in the work from home world everybody with another episode of the daily social distancing show how much can you replicate the energy of a writers room when it's zoom room. The first few weeks you're stumbling over who's speaking who's not speaking somebody forgot to unmute themselves.

They said a whole soliloquy and you can hear it then once will be on that it's become the new normal. With this fake health crisis where it would enslave all one assistance he was its use this opportunity to create something different going on something different.

It's really interesting about what's happening in America is exactly what Noah posted at the end of May reflect everything that happens in the world connects to something else in some way shape. Please call I'm watching what's happening.

I see the Christian Cooper video in Central Park with Amy threatens 911 on the same date, start seeing the videos about George Floyd and then that we clicked on. You start seeing the riots sponsoring the protesting in Minneapolis and I'm sitting there genuinely sinks or somehow do we as people not see that everything affects something else while everyone is facing the battle against coronavirus black people in America still facing the battle against racism and virus in a stripped-down model of lockdown content. Black Americans have seen their principles completely delegitimized Noah look directly into his phone and spoke from deep in his soul for 18 minutes, police in America on 10 black bodies not chasing less chasing like when you are have and when you are have not. You see the world in very different ways.

George Floyd and the dominoes of racial injustice has been viewed more than 9 million times on YouTube alone. Marshall was on TV, but I just felt like a man. If there's five people working try to explain the nuance of the school situation then maybe this five people will understand as a larger story as opposed to just a moment or moments are connected as next comedians from Africa people thing a guy leopardskin will come running on the same born and raised in South Africa under the apartheid system of racial segregation. Noah is uniquely suited among the late-night hosts to offer perspective not just on what is unfolding in America. This is all a wheelhouse moment, unfortunately, but why I think estrangement Americans always told that the only two sides to every story. Two sides to every debate, every argument might deny I'm opposed to that idea.

So I've often thought were Pepsi, Mets, Yankees society, no yes yes I think America is that as a society, but I don't think that's true that's something that that will need to acknowledge in American politics. If you only have two choices. People always good to make one of two choices, which means people will automatically be against each other in a country consumed by an offer divided by black and white know what things would be a lot better off somewhere in between. Nuance doesn't sell as well in America. Nuance means you can't just take a stand and fight give a person Nuance means we have to talk and uncial. The American political system can find a way to represent the nuance that exists within America.

You will going to create this false impression that there is this what that's there is only racism will not racism.

There is only you know it's is no because life is great black and white and yet they don't want this country when the riots were happening in multiple gently start running around the stage don't think black people like crime, excellent starting thing like crime. No, people don't like because you know who's not. Most people this stuff. Society could be engaged right. How do you find the funny sometimes. I don't find the funny units.

I use the funny. No, to process the pain, the despair, it's what humor is. But it's not just his home country's reckoning with racial injustice.

It gives them sharp insight 11 years ago Noah's mother was attacked by his stepfather.

My mother was shot in the head, which was done and I'll never forget she's looking at me from the hospital bed and she says to me crybabies on the bright side support brain science is no snow because of my nose, you're officially the best looking person in the fact that my mother would make a joke I could not believe she wasn't dismissing what happened she was negating what happened but what she was doing was using humor to process the madness of this world that we live in, just like sex.

My success or failure will somehow be determined how much noise you make during my performance was success has been rocky fueled by his mix of humor is observation is okay like criticism and commentary. If meeting the moment requires tinkering with this formula that's just fine with washing hands. Don't take candy from strangers all family. I'm not afraid to make shows that have no loss. I'm not afraid to make serious shows that speak to the issues and communicate honestly what I'm feeling society may be experiencing. We've made some shows up data should have no jokes there some days of coming to the office and sets my team hey guys, there is nothing funny for people. This is not even a moment to try and find the funny meaning these days. Trevor know what is doing business so little bit differently provocative) to protest before there is no right way to protest because that's a protest is less concerned about humor than he is with our humanity. This was among the most moving and compelling piece of content you put out there and there's not a laughing that's fine always part of a global community of neighbors helping neighbors in Shreveport, Louisiana that's more than just talk September 1988 Shreveport, Louisiana, 20-year-old William David McKinney had been fatally shot by white racial tensions already simmering in the aftermath and frustration and pleas for change without a lot of power. In this community and nobody come to grips with you. Two years later that okay is exploding with yards say simply, we can there everywhere like family and that's what neighbors are for one another through the streets back before COBIT made things like this impossible is mopping white and black join together to walk the neighborhood and pray for me.

Not that you have on your these scenes before George flew. Well Shreveport is been changed like just about every other city. There was a guy hasn't changed is the belief of the Shreveport pastor communities torn down by bigotry and segregation in poverty can be built back up simply by neighbors carrying for neighbors we can email people all over the world and we don't love who's living and dying for houses away from us. Carter invited us to Shreveport back in February. All about all over the place. He's a proud native city left to go to seminary didn't return but we did. He set up shop in Allendale. The bottoms some used to call it a neighborhood long plagued by crime drop what people think of walking down the street well so I drove down and I thought good heavens, I'm going to die, but I pulled over and stopped and then went up to their shotgun rowhouse knocked on the door and said there's a group of us that believe it will get to be friends. We can change this and not many doors open at first but she kept knocking and he started attending church in the area to mingling with the congregation just like any neighbor might and over time something started to happen us all friendship overcome our racial divide aside overcome our socioeconomic divide aside overcome the fact that we had been strangers, and for sure aside, overcome fear experience was so impactful that he set up a nonprofit called community faith-based station is been making friends out of strangers 20 those who believe it's probably your outstretched hand. One we don't do something to restore those relationships and restore that love from person-to-person that America's got to collapse.

We are going to fail in Sherpa Welch even what's called a friendship house one of 10 building communities all around Freeport Park residents, part communities, go here meant to solve problems internally street pastry come down and model loving your neighbor stressed and blighted neighborhoods that we have to do. It was just taken in seven children from a neighbor. No reason as the room.

See that's what's happening on one side of friendship out. I sighed, is opened anyone in the neighborhood needs and those who show the most holy RT not become what this youth club Welch run hardware your average afterschool program in jail or born to the local judicial system were going to parent meetings were going to see the principal back in school after suspension. All were. I was really Mac, help us often rejected comes from inside the community. That's what made the difference from the Kyra Brooks we care about. We care about our neighbors have those things holy Leno. My dad got killed when I was to Terry Turner his watch. The stability that brought become infectious hole inside of my life. Tensions introduced me to the world and what I can do better the situation happened to me or my future husband on my family since community renewal moved in crime down dropped by more than half in Allendale. Graduation rates are up and so is homeownership skeptical well so does everybody. Some people what to say this just to simply as another flurry program is gotta be hard to let people out there. Try challenge them, and I have done it. Get to know everybody on your street first name last name something about them that you didn't know before. Human beings have faults and problems and heartaches. Whether you're rich or poor McCarter has expanded the program in the summer Shreveport's wealthiest neighborhood, I can tell you where I was is not where I am now picked Hoffpauir lives in the community were stately homes line a private golf course. It might look good, but that doesn't mean it is good.

Even in a crowded subdivision to your own neighborhood. Just another house.

Yes, block parties, look different than the one many of the same people were here, here, for the same reason, random acts of kindness. That's a great bumper sticker will not stop the disintegration of community. It has to be intentional acts of connected care.

Some child is going safe right and I'm living last month, New York's Museum of Natural History announced that its removing statue of Pres. Theodore Roosevelt find objectionable. It's a decision that has the full support of Mark Roosevelt president St. John's College in Santa Fe New Mexico and the great-grandson of funerals. The subjugation of other races by those of us of European origin is our nation's original sin.
