The House That Mama Hill Built

In honor of Black History Month, the Web team offers this short video profiling a local hero fighting to keep her home.

Millicent Hill, better known as Mama Hill, runs an after-school program in Watts for at-risk youth. Hill developed the "Safe Passage"program to help transport children from different gang-affiliated neighborhoods to her home, where she helps them stay on top of their school work and out of gang life.

Over one hundred children a month take part in Mama Hill's Help Inc.
