    The continued slaughter of Black males on the streets of Philadelphia makes me wonder why more emphasis is not placed on all of the construction projects being built in center city and on Temple's campus. Those guys that are working there are not being shot down on the street. They have jobs to look forward too. MACCID, where are you?
