Kayshawn Henderson

Kayshawn Henderson, a slick-talking high-yellow young fellah, who be smirking like a kumquat as he and the other probation-alternative at-risk young men from the hood stood in a little circle in the church’s weight room. That was a program aimed at post-high-school men eighteen years of age and older who was endangered of joining a gang. They each caught some charges, but none of them done any serious thuggery yet. Officially they was on records as UNJNC — urban, no jobs, no college — Malcolm pronounced it unjunk — that was what qualified them for the program.
