And she didn’t just talk.She has been a driving force in the community organization BUILD.Together they drove drug dealers off a vacant lot and built a playground.They estabished an extended-day program at school to keep kids off the streets.They prompted the city and local churches to step up efforts to redevelop abandoned houses.
