unfortunately a familiar one in the community. 
In the United States, minority males bear most of 
the burden of homicide victimization.  In 2001, 
among males aged 15 to 19 years, 3.9% victims of 
100 were whites, 6.9% were Asian/ Pacific 
Islanders, 15.8% were native Americans, 23.8% 
were Hispanics and 59.9% were blacks.  Save these 
lives.  Stop the violence.  Brought to you by the
