Wow - what great insight. We all think are problems are the worst, but until we get outside of ourselves, nothing will change. Change starts with each one of us helping someone else.

This seems almost exactly how things are now. Maybe that was the point.

It really hit me when the mom and son were walking down the street and then she said "we can stay here" I wish I could help every homeless person in America because we are suppose to be the best country and yet we are still struggling!

I can see some of the problems that are presented in "The Beat Goes on" and feel that the City of Charlotte is at a point between this and Class Act. The only difference is a few choice decision on the par of Civic Leaders, the various Community partners and, ultimately, the citizens of Charlotte.
