Sort of.
With no disrespect to a lot of the historic national organizations that have had success (i.e. NAACP, et.al), I think our community "solutions" will be found in local initiatives that emerge from the ground up, rather than in top-down national directives.
If we (be it the Alphas, coalitions of concerned citizens, or whomever) try a program in my community and it's successful, then share it with another community. If that second community's conditions are similar enough, they may be able to benefit as well, or make the needed variations and have success another way. But at least they've benefitted from the shared information.
Either way, the tools of our success rest in our own hands.
...now Imma go hit my CNN webpage and wait to read about Summerchild settin' Chicago on fiyah with her bold, new local initiative.
