James Foreman Jr. con't.
In the morning class, 1-3 p.m. we read the James Foreman Jr. essay today. We played telephone also to demonstrate the way information changes the further you move from the primary source (see handout). After we discussed the Ann McClintock essay questions and read the Foreman essay, we outlined a three paragraph essay on the board. Post those essays here. If it helps, answer the questions posed for the Frontline World essays first, then write the essay.
Students were also advised to read the essay on James Jr.'s brother Chaka Foreman and to visit the website for the school and look for an article too. This will help you answer the question about community involvement.

James Foreman Jr.
A social entrepreneur is a person who identifies and tries to solve social problems that is created from poverty or lack of information and education on a large scale. Social entrepreneurs seek to generate social value rather than profits, and their work pursue long-term change of a community. James Forman Jr. is social entrepreneur who works for the black dominated inner-city neighborhoods in civil rights lineage.
James Forman Jr. is a son of James Forman Sr. who helped black voter registration campaigns in the South as a leader in the SNCC. Like his father’s and other civil rights movement activist, James Forman Jr. believes in the importance of integration, and he created Maya Angelou Public Charter School for dropouts and juvenile offenders in Washington, D.C.
Before he starts a charter school, James Forman Jr. became a public defender because he thought “there were a whole group of blacks who had been left behind by the advances of the civil rights movement” (71). While he was working as a public defender, he got the idea for a charter school to provide opportunities to learn to the children who born into the neighborhood that has poor school system and not enough industrial jobs.
In the beginning, he started Project Soar, an afternoon tutorial program and pizza delivery business for youths, with Domenici who has same dream; they want to save disenfranchised youth. Two years later, they created See Forever Foundation, and as a centerpiece of the foundation, they started The Maya Angelou Public Charter School to provide the alternative school for the students who failed in public schools and juvenile offender. Through the school system, they provide one-on-one tutoring and mentoring program to students. Furthermore, “the foundation created a student technology center to teach computer skills to community residents, and a student-staffed catering service designed to teach job skills”(71).
James Forman Jr. grew up in an environment that human rights, equality and opportunity are the most precious value to work for, and he has thrown his life for some people to live a better life like his parents: his parents worked for the black sharecroppers and James worked for troubled kids in forgotten. In civil rights lineage, he dedicates his life to offer people more opportunities than they had alike other social entrepreneurs.

Before he startED THE charter school, James Forman Jr. WAS a public defender because he thought “there were a whole group of blacks who had been left behind by the advances of the civil rights movement” (71). NICE QUOTE. While he was working as a public defender, he got the idea for a charter school to provide opportunities to children LIVING in neighborhoodS WITH UNDERPERFORMING schoolS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRIAL JOB CONNECTION. YOU ARE REFERENCING THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE INDUSTRIAL JOBS ARE GONE AND THUS AN UNDEREDUCATED CLASS WITHOUT ACCESS TO JOBS LIKE THESE, HAVE GREATER UNEMPLOYMENT.
DEVELOP THE INDUSTRIAL JOB REFERENCE IN A SEPARATE SENTENCE RELATED TO THE NEED FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL.

A PRODUCT OF A civil rights lineage, he dedicates his life to offer OTHERS, IN THIS CASE, INNER CITY CHILDREN, more opportunities than they had, like other social entrepreneurs.
