Peaches Ramos, block captain organized the neighbors to help the police turn back the drug dealers who stood at the corner in the biggest open air crack cocaine market in the city from 1999-2001.

Peaches was never harmed by the dealers who all knew her. Later, she visited Graterford prison and the inmates. They became the artists that painted the Healing Wall murals.
