Hudson is hosting a free event and bringing his life-sized chess board to the downtown Atlanta Hilton. Instead of celebrating his birthday during the Memorial Day weekend, he plans to empower young people by teaching them through the game of chess how to make strategic moves.
“Be Someone” has taught the game of chess to and counseled more than 88,000 at-risk youth with a goal of reaching a million. Chess demands creative thinking and that critical thinking ability can become the difference between a life on the streets and a life of success.
