Many Black youth get caught up in criminal activities during the summer when school is out and there is an abundance of idle time. But four Georgia teenagers sought help to avoid going down that path, and someone answered their call.

Dylik, Dennis, Deion and Jalen approached LaGrange, GA Housing Authority Zsa Zsa Heard in her office on July 27. The boys, who are between the ages of 13 and 14 and live on the housing authority property, asked Heard if she could provide them with a job.
