  Hello everyone. This is Deia Avery of
• 0:02
  the Demia Avery Show. So listen, we have
• 0:05
  a feel-good story today. But before we
• 0:08
  get into that, I want to say happy
• 0:09
  Memorial Day and thank you to all who
• 0:12
  served and those still serving. We're
• 0:14
  grateful for you. We remember you and we
• 0:17
  thank you. Now, this story is about Dr.
• 0:21
  Dre. Dr. Dre headlined a ribbon cutting
• 0:24
  ceremony Tuesday, May 14th for the newly
• 0:28
  unveiled $200 million Compton High
• 0:31
  School campus, where his $10 million
• 0:34
  donation helped build a performing arts
• 0:36
  center that now bears his name. The 31
• 0:40
  acre site in the heart of Compton
• 0:42
  features an Olympic size pool, a
• 0:45
  sprawling gym, and modern classroom
• 0:47
  design to support academic and creative
• 0:50
  growth. The school's performing arts
• 0:53
  center, a sleek facility equipped with
• 0:55
  professional-grade technology, is a
• 0:58
  tribute to Dr. Dre's commitment to
• 1:00
  education and the arts in his hometown.
• 1:03
  In an interview with ABC, Dr. Dre said,
• 1:06
  "The New Compton High School and
• 1:07
  Performing Arts Center is a world-class
• 1:09
  educational facility that is poised to
• 1:12
  become the center for innovation and
• 1:14
  creativity, bringing this life, this
• 1:17
  thing that we dreamed about to a reality
• 1:19
  for all students in the
• 1:21
  city." The hip hop icon born Andre Young
• 1:25
  spoke to students, educators, and
• 1:27
  community leader leaders about the
• 1:30
  importance of resilience and
• 1:31
  opportunity. He said, "It's a certain
• 1:34
  kind of grit that gets cultivated
• 1:36
  navigating the streets and the grit
• 1:38
  carried me further than I could ever
• 1:41
  imagine. But I'm also excited to see the
• 1:44
  kind of talent that emerges when grit is
• 1:47
  paired with a first rate education. So,
• 1:50
  dream big because I did." Okay, Dr. Dre,
• 1:54
  I love it. We love it. All right, guys.

  Talk to you later. Bye.
