What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

In the year 2005, Gwinnett County was considered to be the 'gang capital' of Georgia. The youth were out of control. Young girls were being influence with all forms of 'ecstasy pills', sex recreational drugs, and the young boys were fighting each other (as 'Bloods & Crips') and they even had a game called 'Anybody Can Get It'. The Police did not have any answers. The Community was troubled. It seems that all hope was lost, until January 2006. President R. Boddie was appointed as Director of Atlantis 'Youth Motivational Center by its founder, Dr. Leon Moss. It is here, that President Boddie invited 'at risk youth/gang members' to participate in a exciting gospel/'hip-hop' stageplay (referred to as 'Dope Opera'). There, they would learn how to Love themselves, and have Faith in God, while realizing that the actions that 'they were acting out' in the streets - were dangerous and ridiculous!

Many of the 'youth performers' would ask "Is this how we were acting "? And 'Boddie' would simply say "Yes!". At that point, the kids realize that they needed to change their lives. Many of them left 'gang culture' on the spot; some even burned their 'flags' as a symbol that they are no longer affiliated with 'gang culture'. Boddie's actions proved to be successfully positive and attracted the newspaper, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. *refer to article 'Antidote to Gangsta Poison' by Ken Satura (dated Feb 11, 2006)!
