People Magazine Announces New ‘Call to Action’ on Gun Violence

By John Bonazzo
Britta McNeal cries as she sees her son for the first time after he was shot to death. Chaise Sherrors, 17, was shot and killed on Detroit's East Side just weeks after his good friend JeíRean Nobles was shot to death in the same neighborhood. McNeal lost her 14-year-old son a year earlier, also shot. Detroit's East Side is the poorest, most violent part of the nationís poorest, most violent big city. Chaise Sherrors was giving a haircut on a porch when he was shot. Summary: A Detroit Requiem DetroitÖthe word alone incites many emotions within Americaís conscience.† Detroit was the epicenter for financial equality in the U.S., the home front for the ideal of well-paying jobs for the masses and a political force behind a strong middle class.† Henry Ford made Detroit a boomtown.† Five decades after he started, the boom began to bust.† Many reasons are at the heart of Detroitís decline: postwar industrial policies, urban planning, the 1967 race riots, UAW and auto industry management, Detroitís political cronyism, Clinton era trade deals, and quite possibly the mobility of the automobile itself.† It was the 1950ís when Detroit began the long decay that has brought the city to its present state, a time when Detroit, and America, was at its peak. Today, Detroit is Americaís poorest large city.† To avoid being the nationís perpetual murder capital, the police began cooking stats.† In 2008, they claimed 306 homicides ñ until The Detroit News discovered that there were actually 375.† In more than 70 percent of murders in Detroit, the killer got away with it.† Detroitís East Side is now the poorest, most violent quarter of Americaís poorest, most violent big city.† The illiteracy, child poverty, and unemployment rates hover around 50 percent.† The shooting death of seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones by police on Detroitís East Side brought national attention to this quarter over the summer of 2010.† But as the spotlight
