Champion for Juvenile Justice: Hasan Davis | Dropping Back In
Learn how Hasan Davis, former Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice commissioner and GED® graduate, overcame obstacles in this video from the Dropping Back In series. Hasan’s family fell apart before he even started elementary school. He had learning disabilities, was arrested at age 11 and expelled from every school he attended. Through the support of a principal and mother who believed in him, he earned a GED® diploma, college and law degrees, and served as Commissioner of Juvenile Justice for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
