They resolved to dig out the social decay which lay underneath the riots: illiteracy. Assisted by Applied Scholastics International, Rev. Johnson formed the Compton Learning and Literacy Project, where children and adults receive free tutoring and training in literacy, study and communication. And out of that program, the World Literacy Crusade was born.
Many inner-city youth, homeless and gang members have since completed the program and are now leading productive lives and contributing to the community.
Based on its results in Compton, World Literacy Crusade projects are now operating in Santa Ana, California; in Harlem and Brooklyn in New York; in Boston, Miami, Columbus and Seattle – and in other cities as far away as Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand.
