Darby Pa: A Hometown Turned Upside Down

The great Dr. Martin Luther King stressed the importance of leaders who need to be concerned about society as a whole, instead of their self pleasures. “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. “

In order to stop the madness, deterioration and further decline of Darby, we all need to come together, stand up and bring back what rightfully belongs to us. Our Neighborhood, Our Town, Our Darby. If we don’t then what’s next?

W.E.B. DuBois said it all… “The power of the ballot we need in sheer defense, else what shall save us from a second slavery?”

I still live in the house today that my grandparents purchased in 1903. And, like in the family tradition, it is still the gathering place for relatives and friends. It’s what we are proud to call home.

I struggle every day with the disease that has infected the town I love. I still have hope and faith in my fellow neighbor that together, we can effect a positive change and bring Darby back. Stronger than ever.
