Dallas Bloods Gang, Prison, Community Activist | Antong Lucky on Rock Bottom

Activist, author, and convicted former leader of the Dallas Bloods gang Antong Lucky sits down with Ned for a discussion of systemic racism, community activism, and redemption. From an early childhood life marred by the loss of his father figure, to school years increasingly affected by violence, Antong eventually became the leader of the Dallas Bloods gang and recounts the moment he faced a judge who told him "You are a menace to society." Through mentorship in prison and a recognition of his own God-given gifts of leadership and motivation, he was able renounce his gang affiliation and begin to effect positive change in his community as an activist, speaker, and author promoting non-violence.Rock Bottom with Ned Fulmer is on a mission to build curiosity and empathy in the world.
