Lost Angeles Judge, Judge James Reese donated $100,000 to University of Southern California to provide tutors and mentors for nearby poor boys in the area who cannot afford to exceed without guidance. His goal to make sure that these boys can read because he believes that black boys are not given the same opportunity in this country as several other boys of other races and religions. He speaks from experience himself, as a part of the army when he was rejected from the Biltimore hospital because of the color of his skin. In trials, he mandated that boys who pleaded guilty as a misdemeanor complete tasks such as be a part of the Peace Corps, rather than punishing them for their wrong-doings.
