BE SOMEONE ACADEMY, STARTED BY A FORMER POLICE OFFICER, TRAINS BLACK TEENS HOW TO STAY ALIVE
Orrin C. Hudson, who worked as an Alabama State Trooper for 7 years, is now the founder of a non-profit academy called Be Someone.

The school will also prioritize training young Black men on how to stay alive during police interactions.
