‘We all have so much more work to do’: Baltimore leaders, youth convene for ‘Squeegee Collaborative’ following deadly clash

In the wake of a deadly altercation between a man wielding a baseball bat and a group of squeegee workers, Baltimore business leaders convened with city youth Thursday to discuss solutions to the persistent tension surrounding their street-corner presence. The summit, held at Coppin State University and closed to the public, was part of what Mayor Brandon Scott promised will be a “difficult” and ongoing conversation. Leaders, who included members of the business and nonprofit communities, as well as elected officials, are expected to meet again with city youth over the next several weeks.
