A project that took 18 young people, ages 12-22 from all over Westchester, to create a CD of original hip hop songs inspired by Dr. King’s Six Principles of Nonviolence. They brought other youth to join in on conversation at an annual community gathering called Ending Violence Building Hope, where amongst each other they explored the persistence of violence in our society and our world, particularly in the lives of youth they also discussed how to 

educate and activate ourselves to eradicate violence, and how to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.(2-9-2008)[Partnered with the Westchester M.L.K Institute for Nonviolence}
