This week, the Guardian published a great article about Baltimore, “Gentrify or die?

As part of his fellowship, Brown developed “You’re the Quarterback: Gameplan for Life,” a program to serve black men and families in central Baltimore by focusing on barriers to employment, increasing health insurance coverage, and providing support services.
