Bill Cosby, Chris Tucker, and Fulton County Superior court Judge Marvin Fulton (the judge who ordered whites out of the court, so that he could lecture black defendants) participated in the "Up the Path of Success" discussion Thursday at Benjamin E. Mays High School in Georgia. They stressed the value of personal responsibility.
All three have pledged to set up a mentoring program for the 600 students who attended the forum.
