I remember living in Carrboro back in 2007 for a little under a year. Our neighborhood didn't see problems partly because all of the majority African American families knew everyone's kids. MeeMah knew who was "Miss Robinson's son" or which daughter was hanging by the package store. It reminded me that naming your community is key. Now I live in New Haven and we hide behind locked cars and our Simplisafe systems.. we've given up..
