Eugene Rivers and state Rep. Marie St. Fleur took pot shots at Jackson. There is such a class gap between the haves and the have-nots," Jackson said in his Tuesday remarks. "If you look at inner city Boston and the suburbs, it's like there is a doughnut and then there's the doughnut hole. "They've cut funding for police, port security," Jackson said. "They've cut two million kids' after school programs."
[Don Meredith] co-organized and led a delegation to Boston, Massachusetts, where he met with Reverend Doctor Eugene Rivers and participated in a strategy planning session to combat violence in Ontario's communities. He then facilitated Dr. Rivers' reciprocal visit to Toronto in January 2006 to share his experience with all levels of government, religious organisations, the police, and other agencies.

There's the racism issue that "if this was about white women, about white college students, white youngsters, white anybody, there would be a different response," says Debra Fraser-Howze of the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS. It's the silence of Black people, too. [Terry Moran]'s segment on the lack of Black leadership on the AIDS issue brings into context the fact that few voices, like Calvin Butts of New York and Eugene Rivers of Boston, are out there. More influential clergy, such as T.D. Jakes and civil rights groundbreakers like Jesse Jackson have far too many other ...

The answer to Evansville's youth crime could be a partnership among churches, politicians, business leaders and police, the founder of a national group told a small local group Wednesday night. The Rev. Eugene Rivers outlined his TenPoint plan that reduced Boston's soaring crime rate in the early 1990s. For almost a two- year period, that city had no youth murders.
