In our third installment of ‘COMMUNITY VOICES’ Authors Series, we’re having a poignant discussion with Cedric Dean, Founder and CEO of ‘Safeguard Atone Validate and Educate’ an organization dedicated to securing communities from violence.   Dean has authored over a dozen books while in federal prison.  Dean was recently featured in the Charlotte Observer for an extraordinary story about a book collaboration with a convicted killer which ultimately lead to the killer receiving additional time for the murder of his estranged wife.  ‘COMMUNITY VOICES’ host, Ron Holland also talks with Cedric Dean about a newly created  curriculum he believes will disrupt the school to prison pipeline in a significant way.
