Baltimore Educators Endorse Black Guerrilla Book

BALTIMORE (AP) ― Baltimore educators are defending their endorsement of a self-improvement handbook written by an imprisoned Black Guerrilla Family gang member.

The educators whose comments appear on the book's jacket include Andrey L. Bundley, who ran unsuccessfully twice for mayor.

The book was written by Eric Brown, an alleged leader of the Black Guerrilla Family. Brown was one of 24 people indicted last month in federal court on drug and weapons charges.

Bundley says his support applies only to self-improvement work he witnessed personally and does not condone violence with which the gang has been associated. Bridget Alston-Smith, whose nonprofit Partners in Progress works with at-risk children at three city schools, was also quoted in the book's jacket. Alton-Smith also said her comments only pertain to self-improvement efforts she witnessed while working with inmates.
