[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a community college professor. Most of my male students are Black. Gun violence has touched almost all of them in some way. It is heartbreaking. There is a feeling of helplessness and deep despair among them. They are trying to build a future for themselves, working, pursuing education. But many of them feel like they are walking targets, to police, to other Black males. They believe their days are numbered, regardless of academic success. I tell them to keep showing up and that I want to see them graduate. My heart breaks for the families of the victims. So much hope and promise extinguished by senseless violence.[/quote] Understandable and heartbreaking. People who witness gun violence can suffer from PTSD and depression, and we too often neglect this. [/quote]
