Teaching Taylor Part III: The mentee becomes the mentor
The conclusion of the Oliver Taylor story as told by Sean Saint Jacques. Oliver and David discuss what they are up to now and how they continue to grow every day.
In suburbs of Atlanta, Taylor is a deputy sheriff and helps kids at Salem High School to stay away from gangs. Taylor is a research officer at the school and mentors 1,400 kids.
"Some kids don’t have fathers and they all have kind hearts. I have to reach kids from different angles," Taylor said. "I got guys like David [Gurwitz] who took a chance on me and 30 years later I am on the phone talking with the same guy and he is not African American. No matter what you do someone is going to be there to help you as long as you work hard."
