Terribly troubling, is what I feel about this post. I agree, with some comments on this post. But, I disagree with the comment that A.C is the answer, we the general public, as well as our elected officials hold the key to poverty of today, and tomorrow. This city has suffered many years of impoverishment,However, things like Elvis Week,Barbecue Festivals,and the Grizzles exist, and our children go hungry, and the homeless population rises.This is why our black populations holds a def ear to A.C. All the money, food, and revenue we receive from these events could be put back in our community.
