Anna Deavere Smith Quote
I said, Los Angeles burned but Los Angeles is but one city experiencing this kind of hopelessness and despair, I said, and we need a job program with stipends … I said, These young people really, ya know, are not in anybody’s statistics or data. They’ve been dropped off of everybody’s agenda. They live from grandmama to mama to girlfriend. I said, We now got young people who are twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two years old who have never worked a day of their lives. I said, These are the young people in our streets and they are angry and they are frustrated.
