I think I mentioned this before, but I do volunteer work a few hours a week teaching handicapped kids in that part of town MS Office skills so they can get a job. The vast majority of them are black kids in a wheel chair from gunshot wounds. One interesting side note, when they talk about the various gang environments, most of them say the gangs in Atlanta are the most feared black gangs in the country, and that life is very cheap in the bad part of that town.
