Macon Community Activists Speak Out On the Airwaves About Violence

Tonight, WIBB listeners heard from members of the Macon community who are fed up with violence. They believe too much blame is placed on gangs, and not enough is placed on the truth.

It was an hour of honest conversation over the airwaves at tonight’s Unity-and-Community show with Al Tillman.

Radio personality Tex James was a prominent voice in the open forum. He said a police record from his past labels him as a gang leader.

“Did we break crime no, did we do anything wrong no.”

James says he was just part of a group of people who stuck together to get through everyday life. This misconception is one of the things aggravating the activists, and prompted them to speak their truth.
