Dear supporters of the Algebra Project:
We mourn the loss of Zachariah Hallback, a wonderful young man who had participated in many Algebra Project events, and who was helping to organize for the action below. Zach was shot Wednesday, Jan. 9 during a robbery while he waited with other Algebra Project youth for a bus across the street from City College High School. He was pronounced dead on Friday, Jan. 11. The students have decided to continue with this action in his memory.
STUDENT ACTION –CSI ANNAPOLIS– NOW SCHEDULED FOR FEB. 6
Please join them, Silent March to the State House begins at 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, Feb 6, from Asbury United Methodist Church, 87 West Street, Annapolis.
RIDES NEEDED FOR PARENTS–PLEASE CALL 410-338-0679 TO HELP.

A comment on the Baltimore Crime blog mentioned the Stop Snitching photo on the top of your site. The photo seems contradictory to your message, which (with an admittedly cursory read) I perceive to be about positive changes to the community of Baltimore. I’d love to know how, in your opinion, this photo ties in with positive change. Or maybe I’m simply misunderstanding the purpose of your site.
Thanks,
Chuck
Hey Chuck.
Thanks for the note. I appreciate the heads up about this being discussed on the Baltimore Crime Blog. (though I couldn’t find the reference)
I’m heading to a meeting at the moment, but I will elaborate on the header later tonight.
I believe that your perceptions about this site are accurate and hopefully after I explain it, you and others will have a greater understanding of its admittedly awkward placement on a site called Faith in Action.
Thanks.
