So next time someone asks you about "The Wire," thank them for being interested in Baltimore, talk about their favorite characters, and then discuss what you and the rest of our city are doing to address the issues it brought to light in every major city. Tell them that we are the social innovation capitol of the world and we welcome their support and interest. Of course, to do this will require some intentional effort on your part including a renewed belief in our city. As one of the speakers, Shawn Dove of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement said, "The Cavalry is not coming, we are the iconic leaders we have been looking for and we will be the curators of change we want to see."
