[Picture]      Thereafter, the Compton project effectively became what it is today: The World Literacy Crusade with some twenty-five community-based programs across the United States and elsewhere. Of special note is the Memphis, Tennessee chapter founded by award-winning actor/composer Isaac Hayes and where, as it is said, “People are waking up and coming alive.” Additionally of note is the Compton Probation Department chapter, deemed so thoroughly successful that a supervising judge declared the program mandatory for all those in his charge, and even neighborhood youths not on probation were found turning up at the facility for instruction. Then there is the St. Antoine School of Lafayette, Louisiana where an entire class of disadvantaged eight-year-olds progressed from failing grades to a strong B average within a single semester, and the formerly illiterate gangster who made his way to a community college where he shared those LRH learning tools and so helped classmates rise from barely passing levels to near perfect scores.

[Picture]      The point, as Memphis founder Isaac Hayes once more phrased it: “The Applied Scholastics program is not just another ’do-good tutoring project.’ It works.” And particularly as regards the inner city: “It’s about more than education – it’s about hope and finding a way out.” In testament to that fact are not only those now reading in Memphis, Compton or Lafayette but at least a hundred thousand more now reading despite previous labels of disadvantaged, dyslectic and all else with which we have conveniently dismissed our educational failures.
