...people living there during the mid-70s emptied about 20 cases of long-necked beer bottles per week, according to Sandow. There was "lots of dope.

But no movie could convey the tragic impact of gang brutality on the lives of ghetto families. Consider the case of Peggy Graham, the mother of Stacey Childress. Last November another son, Ermond Easley Jr., 16, was fatally shot in the head and chest while standing a few blocks from the Coliseum.
