  • Bob Tedrow, 59, of Birmingham, Alabama is one of six concertina makers in the United States, and approximately 20 in the entire world. Tedrow moved to Birmingham from the midwest in 1988 to open Homewood Musical Instrument Company, and has been making concertinas there in the store shop since the mid-1990’s. “It’s an incredible work of art,” Tedrow said. “There’s just no other instrument that combines charming workmanship and early 19th century craftsmanship, all with the portability of a six pack of beer."

  • NAIROBI, KENYA - NOVEMBER 14, 2011: Members of the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club train for an upcoming bout at the Joseph Kangethe Social Hall in Kibera slum.<br />
<br />
Within Kenya's progressive youth culture is the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club, a group of low-income adolescents from the slum whose leader uses boxing as a way to engage with idle youth. The group's ethnic diversity is remarkable given Kenya's 2008 post-election violence in which people from several tribes were forced violently out of slums. Together, these boxers represent a nascent trend of cross-tribe brotherhood in a healing nation.

  • NAIROBI, KENYA - AUGUST 28, 2011: Moses Omondi (left) advises his peer Steven Omondi (center) regarding how to gather resources and raise money for Pillars of Kibera, a youth group consisting of performance and spoken word artists who conduct skits to educate people about non-violence. Omondi is an elected Youth Leader at the sub-location level for the youth in Kisumundogo village, and has helped expand the reach of many youth organizations.<br />
<br />
Various grassroots initiatives led by youth have begun to improve the quality of life for those living in the direst of conditions, and young people of different tribes are using gardening, waste removal, education and athletics to encourage their peers toward a self-respecting and self-sustaining community. Termed “youth groups” on the street, these initiatives could represent the future of long-term socioeconomic development in Kenya while laying the groundwork for a more peaceful election in 2013. During the post-election violence of 2007 and 2008, impoverished youth in Kenya were routinely bribed by the nation's political elite to carry out acts of violence in their communities. Idleness among the youth, combined with the nation's history of tribal rivalries, were cited as a key factors to the violence, culminating in the deaths of over 1,200 Kenyans and the displacement of over 600,000. Since the violence, many youth have begun to seize active roles in the reform of their nation. In 2010 United States Ambassador Michael Ranneberger said he sensed “a sea change of attitude” among youths, “a tidal wave below the surface. The youth have woken up.”

William Zonicle on lunch break in his single bedroom apartment. Zonicle, 23, graduated from Oakwood University in May 2014 with a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, but good grades and a successful internship were not enough to help him land him a job in his field upon graduation. The recent unemployment rate among college graduates between 22 and 27 years old is rising much higher for African Americans than for their caucasian peers. In 2013, the jobless rate among blacks was 12.4 percent, compared to 4.9 percent among whites. "It's been difficult," Zonicle said, who has applied for at least 25 job openings in his field of healthcare finance or operations. "I want to contribute to a thriving health system.” In the meantime, Zonicle spends his days managing a university bookstore, making $7.60 an hour.  CREDIT: Bob Miller for The New York Times

Zonicle, 23, graduated from Oakwood University in May 2014 with a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, but good grades and a successful internship were not enough to help him land him a job in his field upon graduation. The recent unemployment rate among college graduates between 22 and 27 years old is rising much higher for African Americans than for their caucasian peers. In 2013, the jobless rate among blacks was 12.4 percent, compared to 4.9 percent among whites. "It's been difficult," Zonicle said, who has applied for at least 25 job openings in his field of healthcare finance or operations. "I want to contribute to a thriving health system.” In the meantime, Zonicle spends his days managing a university bookstore, making $7.60 an hour.  CREDIT: Bob Miller for The New York Times
