Girls and Gangs, Part 2

In the second part of our series, "From Rubies to Blossoms: A Portrait of American Girlhood," we profile two organizations that have been recognized nationally and locally for their efforts. Blossoms works with young girls at risk of violence and gang activity and Council for Unity is designed to reduce violence in schools by emphasizing conflict resolution, and gang prevention.
