Kevin McPherson bears a lot of social responsibility. He initiated a drug treatment program called CARE for Change in northeast Oklahoma City with the help of a fellow graduate student. He started and became principal of the Marcus Garvey Leadership Charter School for kindergarten through sixth-grade students to reach kids before they become delinquents. Now he’s planning to take a group of 25 students to The Gambia in Africa for two weeks in June to inspire them to help others.
