Update on Devon (Clip 1 of 3)

Sixteen-year-old Devon Brown talks about the changes he went through as a result of going to the Baraka School. He says, "I changed as a person, even though I'm in the same community, same neighborhood, same house ... I'm more focused than what I was. The only thing [Baltimore] needs is a lot of role models, people who really care about the children and take them places — not specifically Africa — but out of their surroundings, and help them and make them feel that they are somebody."
