On
July 18,2005,the staff and peers went to the
New Jersey Forensic Technology Center in Hamilton,
New Jersey. While down there, we watched a Film
called "Bastards Of The Party", which not only
showed us how Cle Sloan's lifestyle was as a
gang member, but also how the gang banging lifestyle
was established all over the world. The message
of the movie showed how the two gangs, both
"Bloods" and "Crips" were brought about from
the Black Panthers and Ron Karenga's US Organization.
After the film was completed, Cle "Bones" Sloan
gave some very uplifting advice to the struggling
youth. His words along with the movie were very
encouraging and inspiring. |
On
August 25,2005 Elizabeth Day Program went to
Rutgers College in New Brunswick, NJ for the
Youth Summit. The Youth Summit was about the
choices you can make in life and how you can
change them. The classes were very educational
and I hope some people got the message. After
all the classes, we went to lunch. The food
was great! When lunch was over we went to watch
the JJC American Idol winners perform. When
the Idol winners finished performing we exited
out of the building to go home. My peers said
that they had fun on the trip and look forward
to more like it. |
