Resumo“I had two kids aged 10 and 12 come into my office this summer wanting me to help them write their wills. One of them wanted to make sure his sister didn't get his turtle, and the other one didn't want the wrong person to get his “25”.” Robin Shellow, AttorneyFigure: Mourners on the Porch of Joseph Gallioto Who Was Fatally Shot in the Head May 9, 1999, at Age 13“I believe most people are willing to accept lies rather than see the truth. The only two black leaders I recognize, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, were killed because they told the truth. But for those who think they want to do something about violence in their lives, they have to understand that there are a lot of young people out there who are more angry, and have less respect than I did when I was coming up. Minimum wage jobs aren't going to make it for young brothers who know that if you're willing to take the chance, there's a lot of fast money to be made easing the pain of poverty. I did that for a while and know what it can bring: I bought a Coupe de Ville when I was eighteen.” Germaine Mitchell, 22Figure: Germaine Mitchell, Paraplegic—Aged 22
