Although James Jr. has a high qualify back grown, to land any high paying job that he desires he chose to interactive with kid who are apart of the movement today by helping young black student improve their live by giving them the proper education that every one deserves. James Jr. say, “It’s awfully hard to convince poor African American kids that discrimination isn’t an obstacle, that authority must be respected, and that individual identity matters more than racial identity when experiences beyond school walls repeatedly contradict it.” (Pg 69)

Chaka has admitted that his father was never a very emotion type of guy. In the essay his explain when her father was in the civil right movement there was know time for being emotional he had to hide his feeling so he could look strong at all times. Chaka is sort of the black sheep in the family he has chosen to do something that interest him instead of following his father’s footsteps.
Chaka is now trying to balance a legacy that he has realized is important to his father. He admit that he chose to act to help provide for his father who is now looking like a bum on the corner and behind on medical bills. Chaka today is focusing on trying to make him and his brother closer with their father. He has finally got through to James Jr. to get more active with their father. James Jr. and James Sr. are so much alike says Chaka. His say they both father and brother are not emotion, and both are try to make a better world for people in their culture and community. This family is a perfect example of brothers, and a father wanting more for their people and their own personal relationship.

South Africa Cape Town
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful places to live although living there is a struggle to survive. Cape Town has the highest crime rate in the world. There are a lot of children, men, and woman in this country and the crime punishments are not fair to the young boys or men in Cape Town.
It had to be someone that could help. Elena Ghanotakis a reporter came to Camp Town to educate the young people on AIDS since the disease is so common. Elena had come on a mission to rescue the victim in South Africa. But when she arrived to the country she found that rape was very high. Elena started doing an investigation in Cape Town in AIDS and rapes crises. Elena arrived at Jooste Hospital (Comfort) “is the name of the hospital in English” however Patice was a woman that had arrived five thirty in the morning bruised up and beaten badly. The hospital that early is or was very limited with staff at the time of Patice's arrival. Eleana was their to assist Dr Lorna Martin with the patients Patice face was beaten up so bad she could not open either of her eyes she was very bloody her hair was filled with grass, sand, dirt Patice was seen immediately because of her condition. The Jooste Hospital has a counselor for the young boys, girls and woman in side of the facility. Counselor Nombuyisela Somdaka has spoken with Patice and translated her information in english to Elena. Patice explained her rape experience with Nombuyisela informing her that her neighbor did it and she did not know why. She was able to identify him by his name Bongali, she says Bongali raped her and beat her inside his apartment and would not let her go. Nombuyisela believed her story enough to have Bongali arrested. Patice bruises were so apparent that her prosecutor went back down to the court house to make sure Bongali don’t get out of jail and gets prosecuted to the fullest extreme.

Nombuyisela had to deal with so many cases but this day only five cases came in. Their was three young ladies that came too Jooste Hospital with their mother reporting that they were raped the night before by two men in a cab. The girl were around the ages of 7-13 they felt like it would be safer if the rode in a cab, and that night their safety was violated by two men who snatched the three young ladies out the car and threatened to shot them if they did not undressed. The young girls had no choice but to undress and give the men what they wanted. The three woman experience the men repeatedly having sex with them at least three or four times, and then the men switched up. The two men were not prosecuted immediately Nombuyisela did not have enough sufficient evidence to go after the men. The young girls did not give a good description of the men. The woman was treated at the hospital they were treated with Antibiotic, Retro Virus shot to prevent them from catching AIDS, and the next day pill just in cast they were pregnant.
This organization was developed in 2004 after so many cases were not having full extent to the law. Seven percent of rape cases result in convention. The punishment for men raping young boys is not fair to the children that are assaulted at such a young age. In South Africa the courts do not convict the men when the child has been raped they consider it a lesser crime like a slap on the risk a Misdemeanor. Elena and Mrs. Nombuyisela Somdaka has been giving the opportunity to make a change out in South Africa and the young boys, girls, and woman and young adult woman appreciate Elena coming to their village and making a change which turns the victims in to survivors.
