If this individual had been white, this never would have happened. Reporter but in a statement, the chief apologized, saying, my officers did not have any malicious intent at the time of the arrest.

When shop keepers hangout their shingles here, theyre a sample of the signature product. A traditional handy craft known as shibori.

Reporter he says his abstract images represent home and a sense of community. Its important to have this space to take pride in and feel safe. Reporter does this mean diversity . Yes. Reporter these children worry about the violence on the street. So having a beautiful place to play make as powerful statement. Its so impactful when you show these kids that they matter.
