It is lunchtime recess at P.S. 50 in Harlem. A kid in a blue sweatshirt practices his karate kicks on anyone who comes close. Kids throw basketballs at each other and occasionally at the hoop. A boy sends a large rubber ball flying, almost hitting Keith Jones in the head.
“Yo, my dude, you just kick that ball?” Jones, 23, asked the boy. “You know my name? It’s Mr. K. You going to apologize?”
