Writing a new story in Kensington with Edwin Desamour

What do human rights actually look like at street level? Not in a courtroom or a policy brief — but on a single block in one of America's most misunderstood neighborhoods?In this episode of Until All Are Free, Preston Goff sits down with Edwin Desamour, Executive Director of The Lighthouse — a Kensington institution serving North Philadelphia youth and families since 1893.Edwin grew up on these streets, survived the hardest version of them, and built his life's work around making sure the next generation gets a different story. We talk about what it means to defend the rights of kids the world has already written off, how a neighborhood becomes more than its headlines, and why the fight for safety, dignity, and childhood is won or lost block by block.A raw, hopeful conversation about community, resilience, and the people who refuse to leave.
