The Walmart Foundation has awarded $1 million to the National Judicial College and the National Bar Association (NBA) to fund non-traditional community-based diversion programs designed to end the cycle of crime. A special focus of the grant will be to give a second chance to youth and young adults with no, or a minimal, criminal history. Marvin Carr, Walmart's director of strategic initiatives and Center for Racial Justice, said the grant resulted in large measure, from a second chance program launched in Clarksdale, Mississippi, by NBA Immediate Past President Carlos Moore.
