Ray Lewis, Ravens visit schools in West Baltimore

They left Matthew A. Henson Elementary School around 10 a.m. Thursday. The group of Ravens, about 25 strong, walked quietly up North Pulaski Street, crossed North Avenue and then headed up a hill toward Frederick Douglass High School.

Ray Lewis, the team’s former linebacker, hung toward the back, occasionally stopping to say hello to residents or passersby who called his name. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was closer to the front, waving his hand and imploring one onlooker to join the group.

“Guys were looking for something, like what could they do?,” Harbaugh said. “Football, it’s like any sport, it’s a bonding business, and we have guys that love this city.”

Not long after the violence began in Baltimore Monday, the Ravens started to discuss ways that they could help the city. Lewis, who took to social media to denounce the riots, said that he and Harbaugh spoke immediately and both men vowed to do their part.
