In the midst of hardship and adversity, communities often find unique ways to come together and address pressing issues. This was vividly demonstrated in the aftermath of a tragic incident that shook St. Louis, Missouri, back in 2010. The Christmas Eve mass shooting involving teenagers was a stark reminder of the epic violence that plagued one of the most dangerous cities in the nation, and indeed, one of the most perilous in the world. In response to this heart-wrenching event, a remarkable initiative was born – “Hip Hop 911: Stop the Violence.”
