[Xmca-l] Re: Watch ""You Can Replace Property, You Can't Replace a Life": Voices of the Unheard in the Baltimore Streets" on YouTube

[Greg Thompson]

Anyone heard of activist Joseph Kent?

He was one of the people who was working diligently to keep protests
nonviolent.

Here is a video of him in "conversation" with Geraldo Rivera:

Joseph Kent gives me great hope. Seems like he might be a link between old
and young (he is 21).
