Book
"Every once in a while, voices emerge from a part of the world that we have forgotten or chosen to ignore. Sometimes their words ignite our conscience and rekindle our sense of justice "Our America", the work of two young men living in one of the most notorious public housing projects in America, does just that. Jones and Newman have made it their mission to be loud voices out of a dark place, through two nationally acclaimed radio documentaries and through this book. Informed by stunning photographs taken by a talented young photographer from the projects, "Our America" opens up the world of these two amazing young men, and tells the tragic story of the death of another, five year old Eric Morse who was dropped to his death from the 14th floor of a building in their project by two other little boys. The book is full of the promise that one day the talent and the vision of our children who are being raised in such dire circumstances will he heard and praised and understood" Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
