This piece is my response to my interviews with two locals, employees at the local Target. They represented entirely opposite demographics. The first was a middle aged African American woman, and the second, a young Caucasian man. Perhaps not surprisingly, they had differing views on the city of Baltimore, its issues and how they would like to see it progress in the future. The woman spoke of a real stirring in the children and a newfound importance placed on arts and creativity in schools. The man spoke of trouble on the streets- violence and racism. He remarked that the police department is doing what they can to work with the community rather than against it, but there is still much left to be desired in the coming years. I tried to convey their opposing perspectives in my piece.
