The Peacemakers patrol Grand Rapids neighborhood
"A group of men known as The Peacemakers is on a mission to take back the streets of Grand Rapids.
They walked Logan Street on the city's southeast side Friday afternoon and picked up trash and spoke to residents, hoping to influence neighbors to take pride in their community and set a good example for the kids in the area.
'Quite frankly our youth don't see enough men making an outward effort to uplift the community, so we're looking to be that example to be that outward effort to hopefully uplift the community and influence some of these young people to join us and have a positive influence on our community,' said Raynard Ross, the Peacemakers organizer"
