Once again, my favorite TV Show, 60 Minutes, came through with another piece I feel compelled to share because of the lessons I learned from their expert journalism. Vy Higgenson is running a program in Harlem that is changing young lives through teaching them to not only sing Gospel, but the history of the music and how it can change their lives. I have always contended education is about opportunity, and good material taught by good teachers. Gospel for Teens fits that bill.
It is such a good piece with so much to learn, they took two segments of the show to tell the story. Granted, this is the Summer rerun season and this story originally ran this Spring, but it was new to me. If you have already seen it, just delete this post. But, if you missed it this Spring, check out these two video segments from tonight's show:
Segment Two:
I often say how my post material comes to me. I do not have to go looking for it. It has happened again tonight.
I look forward to your comments.
Later,
Mike

Mike,
We watched that on 60 Minutes when it was on and were very impressed with this program!
This woman is such a good example of someone who is passionate about something who then stretches that to include young people. The kid's stories are great, but she's one powerful role model.
