On this episode of Urban Outlook, host April Eaton is joined by Urban League of Middle Tennessee President and CEO, Clifton Harris, Carolyn Coleman, Director of Education for the R.E.D. Academy and Aron Thompson, VP of Housing & Economic Development and Director R.E.D. Academy to tell us more about their program.
