Michael Keith, of the R & B group 112, visited with Action Center Tutoring Students youths last week to bring them a message of hope and urge them to believe in themselves.
Keith’s appearance was, as Aria Doe who is the Action Center executive director said, a reward to the young people who have worked hard in the tutoring program.
The Def Jam Records artist, along with his other band members, has won Grammies and MTV awards, and the group 112 was presented with platinum albums for each of their first three CDs.
