Institutional Video Hyde Square Task Force

Video produced by Intercultural Productions. www.interculturalproductions.com
Founded in the 1980's by a diverse group of neighbors, the Hyde Square Task Force began as an effort to reverse the trend of youth violence in the Hyde/Jackson Square. This neighborhood, which straddles the border between Jamaica Plain and Roxbury, was once known as the "cocaine capital of Boston"; drug-dealing occurred openly on the streets and gang violence was rampant. To call attention to these problems, neighbors organized public meetings, peace marches, street cleanups, and crime watch groups.

Victor and I have been a part of this organization's dance program for the last 10 years. They not only learned to dance or sing here, they become amazing human beings. We need more programs like these so that our youth can have a chance to succeed at their dreams. If you are from Boston please call or come by to see how you can get involved. Get involved....Share....Support..­..Love... that's how we build stronger communities....that's how we can conquer all.
