"It didn't really bother me at the time. I remember one day my moth er showed up at one of my games. Soon as I looked up and saw her, I started slam-dunking the (basket) ball," he said, grinning. Brown thanks his mother, a domestic worker, for not allowing him to disrespect his father even though he was not living in the household. Brown said his mother always kept a positive outlook and did the best she could raising him and his two older sisters. But even at a young age, he told himself he i would have to be involved with the development of his children. ^ Brown went on to college and worked odd jobs to pay for tuition. He graduated from Hampton Uni versity and went on to get his law degree at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Upon graduation he married his wife* Sandra, and moved to Winston-Salem. Fatherhood, he admits, has been good to him. He said he has a very close relationship with his kids and tries to keep the lines of com munication open between them. Brown's advice to parents, especially fathers, is to listen to what their children say. 'Kids have a funny way of letting you know they want to talk. And sometimes all they want you to do is listen. Adults come home from a hard day at work and all they can think about is relaxing, but when you have chil dren you have to be there when they need you," he added. Tm not one of those dads who try to push their kids to do anything. Whatever they're interested in I just support them," he said. Brown said he makes a special effort to attend their extracurricular activities, but education is his biggest thrust "Academics is something I place a lot of emphasis on," he said. , He has strong feelings about the role of black men. "We as black men need to take on our responsiblities. Whether you're in jail or on the Supreme Court, you can still get to know your child.

Thanks for your help! married to the mother of your child, but you can still be there for the child," he said "What we don't realize is that when a father neglects his child, he is actually cutting off a part of him self. We have to tell ourselves, no matter what I do, I have to take care of what is mine and make sure he/she has a better life than I did." Brown said he and his wife like to visit their children's schools to talk with teachers. "When you show a teacher you are concerned about your child, that teacher takes for time with your child also," he said. DON TSLOWIT! / KEEP OTIH CAROLINA CLEAN & BEAUTIFUL, INC.
