John Prendergast and Michael Mattocks: "Unlikely Brothers" (Rebroadcast)
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2011-05-30/john-prendergast-and-michael-mattocks-unlikely-brothers-rebroadcast
One was a 20-year-old Irish Catholic who had been a Georgetown University student in Washington. The other was a seven-year-old African American boy living in a D.C. homeless shelter. Their paths crossed in one of life's random moments and altered both of them forever. The college student became a well-known human rights champion who works with George Clooney and other Hollywood activists. The boy from the streets became a drug dealer - before turning his life around. In a new book, and in an interview with Diane, they tell their story. How a brotherly bond forged decades ago helped each of them find their way in the world and taught them the power of commitment.
