Today on Midday Culture Connections: a conversation about an effort to engage Squeegee Kids by helping a few of them form a new company that produces and markets bottled water. It’s called Korner Boyz Enterprises, and it’s being launched by young people with the assistance and guidance of people at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), the University of Maryland Law School, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and a non-profit called Equity Matters.
Tom and Dr. Sheri Parks of the Maryland Institute College of Art are joined by some of the mentors who are involved in the project.
