Youth can learn about myths and missteps at “The Consequences of Thug Life” on Jan. 26 at the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta.

The Decatur-based Davis Bozeman Law Firm is co-hosting the event with the library. It begins at 6 p.m. and is facilitated by criminal defense attorney Mawuli Mel Davis, who developed the multimedia presentation after seeing a growing number of teens from “good families” going to prison after buying into the glamorization of being a “thug.”

“The Consequences of Thug Life” uses hip-hop music, images and clips to engage youth in a thought-provoking discussion about manhood, self-identity, self-worth and community responsibility.

Robert Bozeman, the law firm’s managing partner, said Davis Bozeman is committed to helping the community.

“It is our responsibility to do our part to try to protect our young people from embracing a culture of criminality,” Bozeman said. “We are fighting for our future.”

The library is at 101 Auburn Ave. N.E.
