T.I. turns to former Dr. King friend as mentor

3 July 2008

MSNBC.com: Music: In this June 17, 2008 file photo, Rap star T.I. whose real is Clifford Harris talks with children at a day camp in Decatur, Ga. Harris, must spend at least 1,000 hours talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs before reporting for about a year in prison in a deal worked out with prosecutors.  He was arrested Oct. 13, 2007, and charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon.  These days, T.I. is thinking about social responsibility and leadership, thanks to an unlikely mentor in Young, who reached out to the rapper a few months ago.
