For the defense, Walsh brought several notablecharacter witnesses, including Cambridge MayorKenneth E. Reeves '72.
In fact, the testimony by the mayor, a memberof the Cambridge Civic Association, raised the ireof Dowds, the association president. Dowdssuggested that Reeves testified in order to repayWalsh for the councilor's voting for the mayor'sre-election in January.
In response to the growing number of minority young men deemed "at risk," Reeves said he founded the W.E.B. DuBois Academy, a Saturday school which provides supplementary education and mentorship opportunities.
Reeves said two young men from the academy are now enrolled in special classes for the gifted at their schools.
Reeves also described a Cambridge school district program to improve reading skills. The program targets children who have difficulty in reading, and takes them out of the classroom setting by providing them with intensive, personal training, according to the mayor.
