Geoffrey Canada

Geoffrey Canada (born January 13, 1952) is an American educator, social activist and author. Since 1990, Canada has been president of the Harlem Children's Zone in Harlem, New York, an organization that states its goal is to increase high school and college graduation rates among students in Harlem. Canada serves as the chairman of Children's Defense Fund's board of directors.〔http://www.childrensdefense.org/about-us/board-of-directors/〕 He was a member of the board of directors of The After-School Corporation, a nonprofit organization that aims to expand educational opportunities for all students.
==Early life and education==
Canada was born in the South Bronx, the third of four sons born to Mary Elizabeth Canada (née Williams), a substance abuse counselor, and McAlister Canada.〔Stated on ''Finding Your Roots'', PBS, April 1, 2012〕〔(Helping Celebrities Find Their Roots : NPR )〕〔(Canada, Geoffrey 1954– – FREE Canada, Geoffrey 1954– information | Encyclopedia.com: Find Canada, Geoffrey 1954– research )〕 The marriage of his parents ended in 1956. Thereafter, he was raised by his mother. His father played little part in the life of his children and did not contribute to their financial support. Canada was raised among "abandoned houses, crime, violence and an all-encompassing sense of chaos and disorder". At an early age, he understood his life's calling.
When Canada was in his mid-teens, his mother sent him to live with her parents in Wyandanch, New York.〔 He attended Wyandanch Memorial High School and during his senior year, won a scholarship from the Fraternal Order of Masons .〔
He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and sociology from Bowdoin College, from which he was graduated in 1974, and a master's degree in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Canada also has received honorary doctoral degrees from Bowdoin, Brandeis University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, Tufts University, Tulane University, and the University of Pennsylvania, among many other honors.
