Ignorant Man's Son

<p>Victor James Hill saw himself in his community's kids. As a child of the Projects he'd witnessed deadly shootings heroin addiction and brutal violence by the age of thirteen. He bottled up his emotions longing for a father figure to guide him. By adulthood he was chasing the wrong dream-he had dropped out of high school to pursue material wealth women drugs and social status.</p><p>A traffic accident changed everything. After walking away unharmed from his violently flipped vehicle he knew there was a reason he'd been saved. He'd noticed how many community kids ran the streets and it gave him an idea. He would start a youth basketball league in the heart of the Projects.</p><p>The project would surpass Victor's wildest dreams. From The Lakeside Four a 3-on-3 team that racked up multiple national championships to a summer youth program that brought hundreds of kids to the AME church Victor's basketball league brought hope to a new generation. It changed Victor too.</p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 51 56 1)>Gritty and moving with touches of humor </span><em style=color: rgba(50 51 56 1)>The Ignorant Man's Son: A Memoir</em><span style=color: rgba(50 51 56 1)> recounts his journey to find himself through community service.
