Summer Night Lights is an initiative implemented in last year aimed at reducing gang violence in LA. How to do it? Give kids a place to go during Summer nights by keeping city parks open and patrolled late. Los Angeles' Brian Watt talked with South LA's Michael Leslie, a youth coordinator with Summer Night Lights who says the program has had a huge impact on his community.
