Finding solutions to prevent more killings like George Floyd

His mom, Myrtle Faye Rumph, started the center with family and friends to help keep other people from suffering her son’s fate.

My comfort comes from the stories of kids-turned-adults who credit the Wooten Center with saving their lives — and protecting them from police harassment.

A few years ago, a student came running into the center telling me the police had two of our alums outside against our wall.

With that said, I highly recommend Juvenile Justice Jeopardy and the resources game developer Strategies for Youth provides to train both youth and police in peaceful co-existence through understanding.

Youth Center and a former Wave Newspaper reporter.
