Bonnie Atkinson has taken the grief of losing her only son to drugs and created this beautiful website in his memory and honor......I am proud to add this site to my Links; in the hopes that young people and parents are exposed to the reality that this war can and has affected everyone in it's path, that the denial that is so prevalent be challenged and finally that John's spirit can empower others with knowledge and by being the example of grace and light........Be sure to visit my website, it is updated often! Harlemlive .org - is Web site designed and created by youth from the Harlem area in NYC. In a time when our young people are attacked for all the negative realities of our country; crime, drugs, teen pregnancy, incarceration, gangs, Harlem Live is an example to everyone what can happen when youth are given the opportunity to fulfill their potential. When given the support; Harlem Live is proof that our young people can document, create, design, and address community problems and find solutions to our nations problems and make us proud.
