The Boston Globe profiles Franklin Miller, our 2006 Crimefighter of the Year Award recipient and a leader in the Wendover Street area.
“It\’s no secret there are a couple of Cape Verdean entities feuding with each other, and Wendover became one of the spots where that has played out,\” (Boston Police Commissioner) Goslin said. “But Franklin, he was smart enough to make a quick assessment of the neighborhood when he moved in, and he found people who wanted to stay in the neighborhood and he pulled them together. He is a huge asset, and the message he and other residents are sending gets out among the gangbangers and trouble makers.\”
