"He who opens a school door, closes a prison" - Victor Hugo In NY state 80% of inmates come from the Bronx, East NY, Brownsville (where Mott Hall Bridges Academy is located), and two other inner cities. Shout out to Nixon and the 'War on Drugs (blacks)' BTW. So I met Principal Lopez last November at #tech808s, a week after watching her live at the first @tedtalk NYC ever. Salute @kingsio_ @nasboogie aka the 🔌for the connect. The @humansofny campaign in her school's honor raised $1.2M in record time! Today we reconnected and she introduced me to Mr. Q Turner (a Que Dawg) so you know I had to let him know a SIGMA made their theme song. He's also the man behind the AND1 MIXTAPES and current Entrepreneurship teacher. To the right is the man himself, Vidal Chastanet, who kicked it all off by sharing his story on @humansofny.
