Season 1 Chapter 3: Bally Boys to Men: A Lesson in Growth & Survival Part 2

Join us as we stroll down Memory Lane with two more members of the Bally Boys crew, Ermias Alemayehu in Los Angeles, California and Abdur Ali in Ann Arbor, Michigan as we discuss school, growing up in the late 80's, and social issues.

"So politicians, they want to do whatever they can to try to get people [with] emotional explosive issues to try to get folks. I mean, that's the bottom line because you notice they don't make a big deal of these situations until it's election time. And when they feel like they can get something from the Black community."

"You know, a lot of us know the truth. We're scared to say it, you know? Because it might compromise the work situation, the benefits, even their social status, or who they are. [They are concerned with] who they are around and who they consider that they need to appease to be accepted."
