Paterson, New Jersey's Eastside High is the setting for Lean on Me [Side B], starring Morgan Freeman as bat-and-bulIhorn-toting principaI Joe CIark, whose controversiaI methods turned the faiIing schooI around and made Clark a nationaI symbol of tough-love education. His message: Don't lean on excuses, drugs or anger. Lean on yourself and me...and learn. SchooI's now in session with these two true-life tales! |
