Model ParagraphAmerica has become a dangerous place to live, to work, and to even sometimes go to school, but communities are working hard to improve the country. In Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun by Geoffrey Canada, he discusses when he was young and living with his mom and brothers on Union Avenue, a high crime block in New York City.

Canada had learned that the street he lived on had become a dangerous place like so many other blocks in America that he had to learn to fight in order to be respected; in order to survive.
