Mr. Cameron describes his grandmother, Lula, as deeply religious. With only a third-grade education and the nerves of a gladiator, she successfully raised her three daughters, who became high school graduates and respectable adults. Lula’s willpower overcame social and economic barriers years before national social-welfare programs ever existed. Despite his father’s hard work, Mr. Cameron says the underlying credit for him and his siblings becoming successful college graduates and maintaining long professional careers lies with his mother, who followed her mother’s example. Cameron’s father’s focus was providing an income to support his family. He was a “molder” at the steel mills, a back-breaking job, and repeatedly watched white European immigrants be hired, with no experience or knowledge of the mills, become his boss. There was no hope for advancement, and Cameron Sr. worried about having enough money to make ends meet, so he did back-breaking concrete work on the weekends. All of this planted the seed of Mr. Cameron’s lifetime mission to support, become involved in, or create programs to foster economic opportunities for underserved youth. He attended the National Opportunity Summit. The summit takes place in Washington DC. And is an event organized by Opportunity Nation – The Shared Plan To Restore Opportunity through Economic Empowerment
