they take care of their children. they cook for their children.they get their children up to go to school. so the benefit of being in a one-shop model where everything is onsite is such a benefit to the families. i think, overall, the families here at the exodus program respond really well to just the genuine concern that our staff displays to them on a day-to-day basis. one of the things that we try to do as early on as possible is to try to have our clients develop a real positive support system. whether it be through church, through meetings, through other peers that are here at the program, reconnecting with their family members. i think that's definitely the first step. well, having a place to live and being around other families that are like ours is very helpful because i feel like we get to help each other. and it's not just me getting help. i see that i am not alone. i enjoy that all of our family is together. everybody is focused and doing what they are supposed to do. i mean, it just makes us feel comfortable knowing that we have somewh

whatever the children can do. >> i talked to your children. all said in various stages of their lives we have a tough up bringing and our father was strict, but as they got older and in some case his their own kids, they began to realize it was the kind of tough love they needed. it's interesting for me to talk to them now that they are older. it must be for you an interesting experience to hear their views change as they get older. >> they do. children change. for instance, tito is that said i am going to raise my children like -- they call their father joseph -- just like i was raised. all of the children all of the terrible things they laid on michael. he didn't do these things. there wicked people out there and they accuse you. >> it must have been very hurtful for you as his mother, some of the things michael was accused of and the court cases he had to fight. how did you feel as his mother. >> oh, my gosh. it almost destroyed me in a way when i say it just hurt. i know michael didn't do those terrible things. there so many wicked people,

we have found several of the children. >> you have actually found children from this? >> absolutely. >> this has to be one of the most rewarding parts you do. >> when i think about this in ret retrospect once my career is over, finding the children when i know the show directly contributed to it, it's a special moment. >> and this speaks to the role of black media in terms of leadership. >> yeah. >> people actually looking to you and to offer advice and insight and leadership on these issues. how do you feel about that relationship? >> this whole process started with me years ago when i was driving trains on the south side of chicago. all the things you see happening with trayvon and others, the seeds were planted long ago. you plant the seeds now you'll be surprised what manifests later. >> how do you make sense of this? in so many ways your story doesn't make sense. about somebody who was an unpaid intern and now suddenly you have eight, nine million listeners all over the world. >> i didn't know that could happen. >> how could you? >> shortly after i started i told

my children often have cough and fever. >> all too often, the children are left to take care of themselvesicians often buy votes with saks of rice. corruption also prevents effective help from reaching the people at the dump. >> every large fire means that next weekend we will have 15- to-20 new families here, but on the other hand it is the only way to encourage the people not to give up. the problem is man-made and it can be solved by people. i am convinced of that. >> 8 de's halt fits into two plastic bags. they take their earnings to a scrap dealer, getting about 62 basis, 50 cents -- pesos, about 50 cents. she is happy she earned a bit of money and says it was a good day. once the children found $50,000 amongst the rubbish. it belonged to a money lender. the children celebrated for three days until the man came back for his money, but that was yesterday, and that was a while ago. evelyn and the other children are hoping for a better tomorrow, one that may fulfil a few other dreams, too. >> now, we had to the caribbean, a visiting a family that most of us only know from tourist catalog

there are full-time and part- time programs for children -- for children. we operate monday through friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. we have employees that are dedicated and committed to preparing children for the future. we are fully licensed by the state of california. our curriculum is become a nation of several foundations, following department of education curriculum requirements. children are given opportunities to learn about themselves to play, music, and interactions with each other, while focusing on emotional and social development, language, literacy, mathematics, and performing arts. we are active in the san francisco community and have been working with the children's council of san francisco from the start. we offer single parent discounts and city worker discounts. we participate in local food and donation drives, and local community events, and other mini fund-raisers. the preschool centers also work closely with san francisco state university. we also had the pleasure of providing firsthand experience in the field of early childhood developm

children, one in nine african-american children and one in ten white children have no insurance.ment, where kids are in terms of their ability to actually complete high school within four years. you're looking at only 64% of african-american children in 66% of hispanic children actually completing. then the one blowing our mind as we talked about this prison thing, the percent of children of color who make up, who are in the college population versus the prison population, right? so black men make up 5% of college students but 36% of prisoners in the same thing here with hispanic adult men at 12% and 16%. okay. those feel so big, so enormous, that my first sense is just, what in the world are we going to do about that? >> we are going to raise our voices and we are going to create the nonviolent movement that says, stop. we are not going to go backwards. the whole premise of the first civil rights movement was to give our children a better life. and we want them to have an education. the fact that 80% of black and latino students cannot read or compute in a fourth, eighth or twel

society for our children because i do believe we ought to be judged by the way we treat our children and that -- if that is the case in california, then shame on us. i hope san francisco leads the way. this is unacceptable that we are way below the national average that we get $5,000 per student when you look at where over 16,000 -- we are below average and you have schools in the east that are getting 12,000 at the bare minimum. where we tolerating this? it is time to say enough and do something about it. and want to thank the freedom fighters throughout the school district who stood and said we'd make a difference. riche -- richard, i pass the torch. to ensure tha tell -- that ell kids get served. this is the modern-day apartheid. this excess is and everyone of us as human beings. we have done a lot in five years but it was a start and i want to thank everyone. i have been blessed in 37 years of public education to work with children and i want to thank my wife and my son and my daughter. they gave up a lot to have their crazy dead -- dad fight this movement for children. thank you

children change. for itself, tito, he was one of them that said -- excuse me -- that said i'm going to raise my children just like -- they called their father joseph -- just like joseph raised me. obviously, my children don't get in trouble or anything like that. all of these terrible things they laid on michael, he didn't do these things. but it's just -- there are wicked people out there and they accuse you of them. >> it must have been very hurtful for you as his mother, some of the thingingss that mic was accused of, the court cases he had to fight and stuff. how did you feel as his mother? >> oh, my gosh. it almost destroyed me in a way, you know, when i say it just hrt because i know michael didn't do those terrible things. but then there are so many wicked people. why are they doing this to him? >> just hold that thought for a moment, catherine. when we come back, i want to talk to you about michael's life and what his legacy should be. last season was the gulf's best tourism season in years. i
