BeSomeone coming to Woodruff Park!

On Tuesday, July 24th from 11:30am to 1:30pm, the finale of the 8-week making of a champion comes to an end. Orrin Hudson, a champion chess player, author of "One Move At A Time" and founder of Be Someone, Inc., will provide free chess lessons to kids in Woodruff Park.

Sponsored by the City of Atlanta, Chess in the Park offers Atlanta youth a positive alternative to drugs, crime, and violence. Hudson instructs, educates, motivates, and inspires kids while entertaining them with dance moves, rap and jokes. But Hudson's "Making Every Move Count" method applies to more than the chessboard, encompassing fundamental life lessons and strategies. Reinforcing his overall message are catchy slogans, like "Push Pawns, Not Drugs," "Think It Out, Don't Shoot It Out," and "Heads Up, Pants Up, Grades Up."
