Aug 14th, 2008 by Bilal Ali
*Judge Greg Mathis examines the current state of urban America through the prism of two American cities with large working-class African American populations — Newark, NJ and Oakland, CA — in “Mean Streets: Cities Under Fire,” airing on TV One Sunday, Aug. 24 from 9-10 p.m. Mathis, explores what unique challenges each city faces and ways to carry out revitalization. During the show, Mathis is accompanied by Newark native Bill Bellamy and Oakland native Mark Curry back to each of their old neighborhoods to talk about community life from their youth and how the old neighborhood has changed.
