Represent Magazine's look back at crack, 20 years later (March/April 2004 issue of Represent), helped debunk the myth that children born to crack-addicted parents are destined to fail. The first person stories published by youth in foster care prompted the media to revisit the issue. National Public Radio's All Things Considered ran a 20-minute story featuring interviews with two of our writers.
