Every Wednesday night, a group of fathers get together at the Jordan Downs Community Center in Watts for an informal meeting called Project Fatherhood.
Project Fatherhood was designed to help men living in Watts to answer a key, difficult question: "How can I be a good father when I've never had one?"
The founders of Project Fatherhood, former gang leader turned community activist Big Mike Cummings, and Jorga Leap of UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs join Take Two.
Leap is also the author of the new book "Project Fatherhood: A Story of Courage and Healing in One of America's Toughest Communities."
