The city government should acknowledge that the African American community is being denigrated. The city needs to accept our culture. —Walter Smith, Substance Abuse Counselor, Roxbury
More businesses need to help the community and give back. It doesn’t seem like the community benefits from the businesses here. —Unique Harris, Unemployed, Roxbury
Affordable housing. I feel like the community is changing and it’s become less diverse because there’s no affordable housing. People are moving to Brockton, Lynn, Attleboro. —Shantae White, Intern, Roxbury

More peace rallies. We’ve got to get the word out. People are trying to increase racism here. — Donna Adams, Retired, Roxbury
