How’s this for a denouement? Tyler Perry, the man behind Madea, is taking the 65 kids who were kicked out of the Valley Swim Club because they weren’t white to Disney World:
Tyler Perry is paying for 65 children from a Philadelphia day camp to go to Walt Disney World after reading about allegations that a suburban swim club had shunned them because of racism.
The black and Hispanic children who attend the day camp run by Creative Steps Inc. cheered Monday when they learned about the actor’s gift.
Creative Steps director Alethea Wright says she’s thrilled about the offer, especially because Perry “comes from humble beginnings” like the children in her camp. [HP]
