Communities Cope With The Aftermath Of Violence

In many communities, there's a convenience store where the owner was murdered, or a corner where a woman was attacked. In those places, the aura of past violence hangs like a shroud.

Guests:

Martha Thomas, writer for the Urbanite. She wrote "The Departed," about a Baltimore community's grief following the murder of 15-year-old Delvon Reshad Butts.

Tio Hardiman, director of gang mediation and community organizing with Cease Fire
