“Raising The Literacy Rate One Book At A Time.”
A product of the unforgiving East Side of Chicago, J. Anthony Graves has experienced his share of perilous living in the Midwestern miasma he calls home. Despite the fact that he started reading at the age of two and went on to become a straight-A student, he eventually dropped out of high school and became immersed in the lifestyle that surrounded him.

Dead End II
Pierre may be short in stature but he’s huge when it comes to heart and hustle. Watch him as he cunningly navigates the infrastructure of gang life and maneuvers his way thru Chicago’s murderous streets during the late eighties and early nineties. It was a time when an industrious teenager could literally make a fortune overnight. Many gambled their lives and freedom away just as quickly chasing that pot of gold.
