Mel Wilson’s vision for a safer LA

After settling into Pacoima, his mother cleaned houses for $12 a day while ensuring her children would be provided with educational opportunities. Wilson attended Cal State Northridge and left as an all-American football player with a business degree. Once he graduated college, Wilson was drafted in the fifth round by the New York Giants and later played professionally in Calgary, Canada, for a year and a half.
