"Almost half of the children in Providence grow up in poverty. David
Cartagena grew up poor in Rhode Island's capital, and became a criminal
and gang member. But that's not how he'll be remembered. WRNI's Ian
Donnis reports on how Cartagena changed not just his own life, but many
of those with whom he came into contact."

Growing peacemakers in our community by the masses is the ultimate tribute to David Cartagena. The talented, wise, and authentic instrument of change that was lost in flesh and blood is forever felt in spirit. I believe.
