The Story

​

“Dr. King won’t rise from the grave, Malcom X won't rise from the grave, we have to rise up to fix what is wrong.”

​

Drugs, gangs, prostitution, and crime. These are realities that have plagued the Stop 6 neighborhood from the outside looking in for decades. However, for Dante, Quinton, and Frank, Stop 6 was home. Home meant sleeping at your friends house, playing football in the streets, learning what it means to be a man from your brothers, and not falling prey to the vices of the community. They learned being a product of your environment is up to interpretation. For them it meant World Wide P. For them it meant coming back to the community and teaching the men of their community to rise up not be victim of societal stereotypes. In a community rich in history, decorated with its own culture, these men chose to come back and be the impact the neighborhood needed. And from this, Community Frontline was born.
