Geoffrey Canada, CEO of the famed Harlem Children’s Zone, is no stranger to New Jersey — or to Gov. Chris Christie. Yesterday in Paterson, the two stood together for a third time since Christie’s election to talk about replicating the New York City program on this side of the river.
The two were at a downtown nonprofit to announce a partnership between Canada’s organization and the state. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
