On Feb. 18, the AFRO’s Baltimore Editor, Sean Yoes sat down with several members of the Baltimore Chapter of the National Action Network (NAN), to discuss the plight of the city.

Yoes was invited to the monthly meeting by chapter president Larry Young, host of the Larry Young Morning Show, on WOLB Talk 1010. The sometimes intense conversation took place after the group’s regular business and the topics ranged from the various political races, to violence, to possible solutions for helping some of the city’s most underserved residents.
