Ralph Carter started the Linden Block Party 7 years ago — long before he established non-profit We Are Linden. The party represents neighborhood pride.
Dexter Nelms laid a package's worth of hot dogs across a charcoal grill before wiping a bead of sweat off his forehead on Saturday.
"After that I knew this could be a thing," Carter said."Eventually I learned how to get block permits from the city and it sort of grew from there." Standing under the CareSource tent at the block party on Saturday, Dawson is attentive and engaged with every person who drops by. "I get it," McCarrel said."But it's certain people. Not everybody. It's people who feel like they can't get out of the 'hood."
"If we're being honest, he helped a lot of people at McKinley," she said."I know lots of people who say Mr. Carter helped them change their ways."
