*A brand-new episode of
STEVE on Watch is AVAILABLE NOW. In todayâs new episode, Steve sits down with New Orleans musician,
Shamarr Allen, to talk about the program he created called â
Trumpet Is My Weaponâ – a gun-for-trumpet exchange.
Seeing gun violence as a prevalent issue in his community, Allen wanted to give the youth a chance to turn to music instead of violence. Any kid with a gun throughout New Orleans can hand it over to him – no questions asked – in exchange for a free trumpet. He has successfully been able to give away (7) brand-new trumpets already and, to reward him for his part in bettering New Orleans, Steve Harvey rewards Allen with $10,000 to continue his mission.
