The Common Denominator

"What is happening to our country and to my beautiful city of Memphis, Tennessee hurts deeply." With an in-depth analysis of what she believes is the sobering cause of the cycle of violence occurring in many of our major cities, the author points to breakdown of the traditional American family. She blames generational government dependency for robbing people of all cultures of their dignity and of the incentive to be self sufficient and to achieve the American dream. Coming from poverty, the author states she has a huge heart for the underprivileged. Her mission is to break the cycle of despair before it is too late. "If we do not face the problem, it will never be fixed," she says.
