Richard E. Green

Director of the Crown Heights Youth Collective in Brooklyn, Richard Green. A year ago there were race riots in Crown Heights spurred by the accidental death of a young black boy, and the subsequent murder of a Yeshiva student. During the disturbances, Green was outside with a bullhorn trying to keep the peace in the streets. Since then, he has launched a program to bring black and Jewish youth together, called the Crown Heights Youth Collective.
