Honoring Augusta Baseball Coach Jerry Hunter for caring about our inner city youth: W. K. Kellogg Foundation New Tools New Visions 2 (NTNV2) sponsored a youth baseball camp at Paine College with Jerry Hunter as coach
New Tools New Visions 2 (NTNV2) in Augusta, Georgia: Finding healthy outlets and activities for inner city youth and others facing social inequalities by addressing issues of environmental health, violence, health equity, and social justice.
NTNV2 is a Paine College/Community Partnership funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation
NTNV was the primary sponsor of a baseball camp for inner city youth in the summer of 2010 organized by amazing and outstanding Augusta Coach Jerry Hunter.
The Jerry Hunter Baseball camp for middle school and elementary school kids included "inner city youth from Augusta area housing projects," said Rev. Terence A. Dicks, an Augusta activist and the NTNV2 Community Liaison and Steering Committee chair and New Tools for Healthy People 2020.
"We need more projects like the Coach Jerry Hunter's baseball camp for our children - to give them something to do" during the long, hot summers in Augusta, said Rev. Dicks, who is hoping to help start more projects for Augusta area youth because they are targets for greedy drug dealers and have too much time on their hands if not involved in extracurricular activities.
Coach Hunter "is a very enterprising young educator and a Paine College Alumni," Dicks said.
Coach Hunter was the boy's baseball coach (2007-2010) at Lucy C. Laney High School in Augusta and then became the celebrated head coach of the high school boy's basketball team - leading the team to its first class AA state championship in 2012.
"It's a Mother's Day gift to Miss Laney, from us," said the modest Wildcats coach Jerry Hunter in an interview with an Augusta newspaper following the March 11, 2012 state championship victory.
Coach Hunter was honoring the school's famous and beloved namesake:
Post Civil War African American Educator, Reformer, and Social Activist Lucy Craft Laney - who established a school for African American children in Augusta and was a huge inspiration to many of her students including (Mary McLeod Bethune) a future advisor to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR).
Coach Hunter stepped down as the school's basketball coach in 2013 to spend more time focusing on his family.
A 1997 Paine College graduate who lettered in basketball, Coach Hunter was a member of the 1994 basketball team that won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season title and advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament.
In 2011, Coach Hunter's son LaTron (3rd base) became the first Wildcats baseball player to ever get a full athletic scholarship signing with Southern Union State Community College in Alabama.
Hoping his son's scholarship will encourage more youth to play baseball, Coach Hunter said LaTron showed Augusta athletes it's possible to earn a scholarship in sports other than basketball and football.
Hunter's three seasons as head basketball coach for Laney (77-15 record/84 percent success) included three Final Four appearances and the 2012 state championship.

The monument at Tuskegee University to Booker T. Washington was dedicated in 1922. The monument became known as "Lifting the Veil." The inscription at its base reads, "He lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry." At Tuskegee, Washington put into practice a program of industrial and vocational education. His goal was to ameliorate the economic conditions of blacks. In a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta in 1895 Washington expressed the desire to cement the friendship of the races when he stated: "In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress." Washington did not advocate any form of integration, instead proposed a policy of mutual progress and cooperation. In the black community and to some extend the larger community, Washington's stance was view as pragmatic by some and was opposed by others. One of his outstanding critics was follow black educator William E. B Du Bois at Fisk University. To view a statue of William E. B. Du Bois and a brief narrative of his life and his philosophy of black education go to: flic.kr/p/wqsAgm
