Parents Turn to Police Allies After Teen Violence Surge

The Potter family, led by Ella Mae and daughter Robin, escape a painful past in Syracuse to work with police on a youth outreach plan aimed at steering teens away from violence. Their ordeal includes a son’s murder conviction and decades of civil rights battles. They recount segregation, a brutal family history, and the drive to transform mistrust into community cooperation with law enforcement.
