The m essage is that it’s vital that young A frican A m erican men have role m odels, mentors and leaders in their ow n com munity. They need to see that there is hope for their future, and that there are alternatives to guns, gangs, violence and drugs. It is only then that we can hope to stem the violence, destruction and disillusion of so many people’s lives.” “I’m pleased to stand here today and honor P o rtlan d P o lice C h ie f C harles M oose, the first A frican American police chief for the city of Portland.
