Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint.
Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why.

That ecosystem, fostered by Adrienne Fairhall ++, is inspiring a new gen of researchers - like the undergrads who approached me after my talk, including one who asked 5 "one last questions". There's an electricity in the air and they can sense it.
