Youth Villages is expanding its family support, mental and behavioral health services to reach more Georgia communities. The Intercept program is beginning in Rockdale, Douglas, and Paulding Counties. Tanya Anderson, the executive director of Youth Villages Georgia, and Jameta Wheeler, the state manager for In-Home Services at Youth Villages, talk more about Intercept and Youth Villages’ new pilot contract with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Development Disabilities.

 

Also, on the evening of June 15, 1930, a mob lynched Morehouse student Dennis Hubert. This May, Hubert will be posthumously awarded an honorary bachelor of arts degree during the commencement ceremony. Ann Hill Bond, an Atlanta-based journalist and chair of the Fulton County Remembrance Coalition, and Imam Plemon T. El-Amin, Hubert’s nephew, talk more about Hubert’s life, and the legacy of Hubert’s mother, an educator, who served as a principal of the Crogmsn School, where Hubert was lynched.
