10 Years Later: A Changed City? is a special project intended to engage the local community to answer the question of where we are as a city, as a community and as individuals 10 years after the unrest in April of 2001 as it relates to public safety, education, economic development, health and jobs for all people. We intend to continue to pose such questions and find the answers through community participation and research.
