Mel & her family help revive Slam Jam

Slam Jam is a girl's basketball league in Harlem that was founded by Clyde Frazier, Jr., who died in the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. His father, Clyde Frazier, Sr., has worked hard to keep the league from falling apart. The league is slowly reviving, and it's hosting a tournament this summer in memory of Clyde Jr.

Mel played in the Slam Jam when she was a girl. She and her family were instrumental in reviving the tournament this summer. Her mother, Rochelle is the tournament director, Mel keeps score, and her sister, Monique, handles the clock.
