We can make a difference and here is the proof! The Heidelberg Project started twenty five years ago. Tyree Guyton was encouraged by his grandfather to "pick up a paint brush instead of a gun" to fight against the violence in the streets of Detroit's east side. He lost three brothers to the streets and in order to stop the violence in his neighborhood, he along with his grandfather and kids from the area, started creating art. The art attracted viewers to this street which made the bad guys go away. It's awesome to have such an impacting creation just down the street.
