Bernard was born in 1965 and raised in the projects of Beardsley Terrace in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In the late a70s he sold drugs to help better his condition. He became a dropout and left high school his senior year. After seeing more death and destruction around him than success and wealth he went to Job Corps and on to college to better his condition. After returning to Bridgeport in 1986, he noticed the rise of crack and crime. His community had been put in a choke hold. It was being raped by ruthless thugs who sought to get rich by any means necessary. People were dying left and right. Most were gunned down, overdosed or dying of AIDS. Harris himself soon fell prey to crack and for many years faced major setbacks. He tells his compelling story in a poetic manner with wit and even a bit of humor. He paints a colorful picture around a grim reality that has a foothold in every major city in America. The ghetto poet evangelizes with his ministry nowadays to spread the love of God. This is Bernardas story through poetry.
