Poot From 'The Wire' Shows How "Radical Reading" Can Be

HBO’s “The Wire” was one of the best shows the cable network ever produced. However, the situations on the show didn’t show too much if any positivity. One of the actors from the show wants to motivate young inner city youth to aspire to be more than their surrounding envoirment. To Tray Chaney aka “Poot,” reading is the only way to get yourself where you want to go in life. He wrote and shot a video for his rap track, “Radical Readers.”
