Deval Patrick
Deval Patrick is an alumni of the A Better Chance program, of which I am the resident mother at the program in my town. Deval came to the house last spring and had dinner. On Tuesday he was scheduled to speak at Umass and the ABC house was invited to sit on stage behind him while he spoke. I know that Deval has made mistakes in the past, but I really like who he is now and what he stands for.
I had a lot of fun being a part of that, and it is great for my guys to see that in a country where more men of color go to jail then to college, and where the achievement gap is so wide, that they can prevail and reach their dreams.
