My son is a student at Lane and I pray ever night that he makes it back home safe and in one piece. It is a shame that there is so much violence and gangs and drug use around our HBCU. He should not have to worry about his loosing his life while he is trying to get a education. He is scared to go out of his dorm after dark in fear of being shot or stabbed.
