"Today, the initiative and Dr. Gore work with young people whom they are trying to steer clear of trouble and into college. Dr. Gore likes to remind them that while conflict may not be avoidable, violence is. Many have learned to rely on one another, rather than drift to street corners where trouble awaits."
“There’s a time to mourn, and we honor that,” Dr. Gore said. “At the same time, we have work to be done. This is still a part of our community’s reality. I can’t point fingers at who is responsible for doing what. This is my neighborhood, my hospital and I can’t expect others to take care of it if I’m not involved.”
A physician and a thinking man who saw the epidemic of violence and decided to actively do something rather than waiting for 'someone else' to do it. Activism can take a multitude of forms.
