Larry Hales, a Denver activist against police brutality and contributing editor of Workers World newspaper, and Willie “JR” Fleming, chair of the Cabrini-Green chapter of the Hip-Hop Congress (HHC) and activist with the Coalition to Protect Public Housing. Flemming has been known to work with kids in Cabrini by utilizing music as a means.
