Black on Black crime in Americus

Eugene Edge, Jr. (left) and Henry Snipes (far right) speak to Black youth in Americus.

In the wake of the recent shooting of a local teen members of N.UBI.A (National Unity of Blackmen In America) have been combing the streets of Americus talking to the youth about black on black crime and gang activity. On March 22, two men had been fighting near the 200 block of South Dudley Street late that Saturday night, when one allegedly pulled out a .40-caliber handgun and fired, hitting instead a 15-year-old bystander in the chest. Eugene Edge, Jr., Grand Hierophant of N.U.B.I.A, feared it was the same story as the two other shootings in Americus this year.

Against tremendous odds, Reginald Harris has grown into your typical 16-year-old child. It's been almost two years since the outstanding football player lost his leg, after alleged improper medical treatment by Sumter Regional Hospital after falling and injuring his leg. Since then, Harris has been through several medical appointments, phantom pains, dozens of leg massages by his mother, building leg muscles and has gone through a few prosthetic legs. His mother Sherry Thomas called her son a fighter. "I told him, 'don't let this change you,'" said Thomas. "Keep your head above the water."
