The Cooper-Jones Initiative was a project sponsored by Representative Jones and Representative Barbara Cooper that served the purpose in addressing the social educational gaps within the school system and the community. Through its support of "A Case Of Race" the initiative has been able instrumental in broadening the scope of education in the socio-economically disadvantage community by providing the logistics, laisonship within the government of the city and state of Tennessee and organizational impetus needed to present information to the collective. We will indeed miss Representative Jones and his marvelous presence at every occassion and event.
