I'll tell you what, she had a biracial son who was caught up in the system.:90 Is there Hope for the hood?Rita Pearson has been fighting for the rights and treatment of juvenile kids throughout the state of Florida. She’s been doing this work over a decade under her non-profit titled ‘Hope For The Hood’ Pearson whom i know personally and have spoken in some of these institutions with her has been working tirelessly to see primarily young men and women be set free. She has brought in Christian and inspirational based artist authors and speakers to be a path of light to many of these juvenile kids that have been locked up and simply went astray. These kids are the forgotten kids. The throw away kids. The kids in the hood with no fathers, lack of a good mother and a network of crime that welcomes them into the family these young boys crave to have. Is there hope for the hood? Of course I believe as such. As long as we have breath on our bodies a change can come and happen. We must not forget about these kids that are bused hundreds of miles from their families. Some of these kids have been treated very unfairly by the system. Kids are bullied, some are rapped, some commit suicide while others are preyed on by the very adults assigned to see them do better. This is in deed one of America’s dirtiest little secrets. Who else is going to stand up for this kids. Who else is going  to bring at least a glimmer of hope to the hood.:30 Donald Trump Said What?:30 Take Em To Church: Criminal Injustice anywhere is a Criminal Injustice everywhere.
