A gritty, provocative true-life story of three friends from the 'hood, Rameck Hunt, Sampson Davis, and George Jenkins, who made a pact in high school to find a way to go to college and then medical school. They not only accomplished this, but they're now spreading the word to inspire other inner-city kids to stay off of drugs, out of gangs and to take the educational route to a better life. THE PACT captures the pathos of the men's individual journeys, the integrity of their voices and the power of their rare friendship. Their stories affirm the values that ultimately sustained and drove them: courage, tenacity, and faith. And they give tribute to the life of the mind and its power to turn dreams into reality.

Great book. But there was something in there that I see too often.
One of the 3D's says that his parents never went to school to see the teacher, never checks to see that the kids were doing there homework, and never had any contact with the school. They worked hard and were too tired.
When the parents don't keep in touch with the school, they won't know what the kid is doing, and won't know if their kid is on drugs, if he's skipping school, if he has a pistol, etc.
