  1. Drexel Deal _ The Fight of My Life is

    90% of us came from single-parent homes who were in the gang. There was just a small 10% who had a mother and a father in the home. For a lot of us, we did not had that father or authority figure who could have intervened on our behalf. Where we could have said, 'You know, daddy, Johnny tried to rob me or Johnny just slapped me', and our father could have either taken us to the police station, or went to school with us to address the issue. So we had to defend for ourselves. Shelton 'Apples' Burrows reform gang leader

  2. Drexel Deal _ The Fight of My Life is

    I knew a lot of fellas who live in Lizzy and never got involved in some of the stuff that we were getting into. This was because they had a strong father figure at home, so they couldn't have gotten involved. The few of those who did end up in the gang even though their father was in the home, their father was just there as a provider, but he was not directly involved in their lives.
