Braddock Goes Internation Go Mayor John














Mayor John that is what we call the Mayor of Braddock. He came to Braddock in 2001 after getting his Master's degree from Harvard. He came to run an Youth Program and I guess he fell in love even if Braddock had seen better days.

He has a geniune love for the people he serves he dresses like the people who live in the town and wears our zip code on one of his arms. On the other arm he has the dates of everyone who was murdered since he was elected. One of those names belong to my cousin she was 18 months old.
I know they called us a broken down neighborhood but to me its just home. I was raised here and I couldn't picture living anywhere else.
