The Truth About Philadelphia
Kevin Horne Question #9: What have
been the most dramatic moments of your life living in Philadelphia?
Glenn: What are the
most dramatic moments of your life, living in Philadelphia? Kevin: One of the most
dramatic moments, is, uh, marching ag...against drugs, it's one of the
things that we do. I happen to be the president of an organization called
"Commitment Concern Against Drugs". And, when we're out there and I, march
on a crack house and see a mother who's out of her mind come to the door
screaming that she don't use drugs, and see a baby behind her having been,
uh, haven't ate, or hungry or a house that's, that's, tore apart and seeing
like nobody care, that, that breaks, that breaks me down. They really
do. Glenn: Can you tell,
describe to me what a march on a, on a drug house is like and what kind
of, how many people are with you and what, what time of day is it, just
keep telling the story... Kevin: We do it all
times a day. We come out at, we come out at night, we come out in the
day, we go around the schools, we, we march in a neighborhood where it's
drug-infested. We, drug dealers that took over the community, and we try
to free the community. We, we try to bring hope and leadership in the
neighborhood where people are lost, uh, uh, and we note that it's good
people in the neighborhood who are afraid to speak out. And when we organize
and we get different people from different parts of the neighborhood and
we service each community by having a people movement, a peaceful, peaceful
movement and we march the streets by chanting, "Up with hope and down
with dope", "Drugs are no good, get 'em out of your neighborhood". And
that's one of the things that we organize and I have been doing that for
the last 10 years. Glenn: What goes through
your head when you're doing that? When you're actually marching there.
Kevin: Making a difference.
Making the difference. I get energy by, when I go out there and get on
the bull horn, I get more courage because I know I'm doing something God
would want me to do. I know he's controlling me, and he's leading me in
that direction to try to help others who are hostages. And to try to let
young people know it is the role models out here, and they don't have
to look up to drug dealers. And, and uh, and uh, and that's something
that, that, that uh, I'm deeply involved in, and I, I think that I will
continue to do that until God stop me. |
