It’s a shocking statistic: For black 15-to-24 year-olds in America, homicide is the leading cause of death—accounting for 46 percent of all black teen deaths, according to the CDC. For the general population, that figure is 18.3 percent. And for black communities, most of those deaths are the result of black-on-black crime. And yet, we hear little about it in the news or from politicians offering solutions. But to families living in neighborhoods with high crime rates, it’s an unavoidable, tragic, topic.

Sylvia Bennett-Stone’s 19-year-old daughter and her best friend were killed in gang crossfire. Since then, Bennett-Stone has made it her mission to get black communities to talk about taboo topics: “Why black-on-black crime is so prevalent. Why are we killing each other?”

Bennett-Stone founded Voices of Black Mothers United under the Woodson Center, bringing together thousands of moms who’ve also lost children to street violence, and who also want to find real solutions.

Hi everyone!

We are currently implementing some big very big and exciting changes!

As you may already know, NTD shows are often demonetized and censored by YouTube. So to ensure we can continue to report in an uncensored environment, The Nation Speaks is moving to a new premium subscription platform launched by The Epoch Times: EpochTV.

This YouTube channel will continue to publish clips from all our interviews, plus our special feature, America Q&A. Full episodes will be available on-demand on EpochTV.

You can also watch us live every Sat. 11:00-11:30am (ET) on NTD.com or check to see if your local cable or free-to-air provider carries NTD here: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html

Thank you for supporting our efforts to continue reporting the truth—and help spread the word!

We are looking forward to making this new platform flourish together with you!
