About the Author

Hugh J Burns, PhD, has been a proponent of social justice ever since the seventh grade. After retiring from teaching, Dr. Burns began volunteering to help inmates at the local jail to discover their potential. He asks them to leave his title behind, instead asking to only be called Hugh so everyone feels welcomed and on the same level. By using this method, Dr. Burns has developed trust and truth over the years, not only with the inmates but from his previous students in the classroom. If you believe in your reality, be who you genuinely are and let them know you can learn together, and then lessons can be learned by both teacher and student.
