Quote from Luis Rodriguez's blog:
"On Saturday, September 29 [2007], I also spoke at Northern Illinois University's Latino Resource Center to an engaged group of young people, parents, professors, and others about gangs, mentoring, street peace, and relationships. Frank, Lou and Ed also showed up, which helped some of the audience members link up with YSS [Youth Struggling for Survival] and the sweat lodge. One of the youth mentors that helped pull this dinner and talk together is a YSS member."
- The mentor mentioned by Luis Rodriguez in his blog is Ulysses Diaz, LRC employee at the time of the conference.
