Paul and Sapphire participate in a parenting exercise during a fatherhood development class at Next Door Foundation. He had pushed a creaky stroller through one of Milwaukee’s worst neighborhoods and ridden a bus across the city not because he wanted to attend a class called Fragile Families and Responsible Fatherhood, but because, like everyone else in the room, he saw no other choice. He agreed to continue coming after his 16 sessions were up, thinking he might need the guidance and the free baby supplies offered by the foundation.
